With summer here, you’re likely to see various movies plastered nearly everywhere. Cups, food brands, and perhaps the biggest of them all: banners. Large banners in movie theaters, malls, and anywhere else you can think of are strong advertisements. And now it seems not only one summer fantasy blockbuster is increasing their large marketing, but so is one zombie sequel coming to theaters in the fall.
First up, we have the banner for Resident Evil: Retribution fromCine 1. The most interesting piece of the promotional image happens to be the massie futuristic city that lays behind Alice. It’s clear the September 14th sequel may have some huge sets with this setting, which the synopsis says:
“The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice, awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true.”
Next, the film’s official Facebook page for Snow White and The Huntsman launched two new banners as well, which shows Kristen Stewart’s titular character and Sam Claflin’s prince all decked out in armor and ready for battle. Nothing too revelatory here, but still a new shot of Claflin’s prince doesn’t hurt. Co-starring Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Nick Frost, and more, the fantasy reimagining hits theaters on June 1st.
Finally, we have the latest one-sheet for G.I. Joe: Retaliation from ComingSoon, which doesn’t look nearly as sleek as the individual character posters, but manages to get most of the heay hitter all on one image. While it does look a pit sloppily photoshopped, the image of Cobra Commander in the background is a damn great one, and slapping Bruce Willis up there doesn’t seem to hurt either. The action sequel hits theaters on June 29th.
