EXCLUSIVE: Final One-Sheet for Richard Kelly's 'Southland Tales'
Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Music & Musicals, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Posters
Cinematical takes great joy in bringing you the final poster for Richard Kelly's Southland Tales (click on the poster for a larger image) -- mainly because we've been anticipating this film's release for upwards of two years now. And so when the last poster goes public, it means we'll be sitting in a movie theater, watching Kelly's follow-up to the cult hit Donnie Darko, soon enough. And what a poster it is! You know they mean business when The Rock goes by his real name -- and only his real name -- Dwayne Johnson. Also starring in this eclectic cast are -- ready for this -- Seann William Scott, Mandy Moore, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Curtis Armstrong, Cheri Oteri, Justin Timberlake, Jon Lovitz, Bai Ling, Kevin Smith, Miranda Richardson and John Larroquette, among others. If that line-up isn't worthy of your lousy 10 bucks, you have issues I don't want to go near.
Essentially, Southland Tales is an ensemble piece (that mixes sci-fi, comedy, music and drama, if you can believe it) which takes place in a 2008 where Los Angeles is on the verge of political and environmental disaster. Boxer (Johnson), an action star with amnesia, soon finds his life intertwine with the dysfunctional worlds of an adult film star (Gellar) and a cop (Scott) mixed up in a conspiracy. But from what I gather (and knowing Kelly's work), there's a whole lot more going on as well. I mean, just look at that poster -- it definitely gives us a peak peek inside the complexity of the film. Southland Tales will finally make its new and improved debut in theaters on November 9.

Forget the one sheet. Kelly published a couple graphic novels that tell you all you need to know about the movie.

i cant help but feel this movie is going to be a monumental, nay, colossal letdown in every way. i mean...actually LOOK at that line up. theres not a single respectable actor in it...i mean, sean william scott? am i from the same planet as the rest of you? he played stifler! and he still plays stifler, years later. i for one am incredibly wary of this film. ill still see it, i mean...its been like three years since i first heard of it...so, there you go.

Donnie Darko was a terrible film. Why would this be any different?

@ jordan:
Oh god, you still haven't realised there's a specific motivation behind this cast ? Why don't you understand it's related to what the film has to say ?

It's... good? I really can't quite tell. I kind of love the flag allusion.
And Donnie Darko is one of my all-time faves, but I'm not really anticipating this.

This movie will give Boston Legal the boost it needs (Because John Larroquette is in the cast of both the movie and the show), especially if it's advertised during the show.

Hah! "This is the way the world ends." Hysterical, and as funky and apocalyptic as Donnie Darko.
Stop taking this so seriously, everyone, there's a grayed (not quite dark) sense of humor in there that makes Kelly an original, at least with Donnie Darko. He twists genres very subtly, and that's most of the fun.
We shall see. I know I will.

Anyone notice the guy in the top left corner beneath Justin Timberlake? Looks like the guy from Mad Max.

Peek, not peak. But yeah, I've been following the drama on this one way too long to not go see it.
