| I really like this new poster for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. It looks and feels very much like a book cover and shows star Cate Blachett in all her queenly regality. I also like how the lettering at the bottom is like it’s been cut out of the black to expose the picture below it. If you look between the letters of the title treatment |

| Director Rob Cohen has begun a production blog as he begins work on the next sequel to The Mummy, subtitled Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. In Production with Rob Cohen just has a couple introductory posts up so far but it’s interesting to read Cohen talking about overcoming his initial hesitance to start a blog of any sort.

| Pictures has launched the official website for the Cate Blanchett-starring Elizabeth: The Golden Age. The site is laid out quite nicely and with a very classic look and feel to it. Each category of content is given a relevant name, so Downloads is also labeled “Artifacts” and such like that. The poster’s copy point is |

| Hulk, Iron Man licensing images |

| SuperHeroHype has glimpses at the images Marvel seems to have begun using on licensed merchandise for both The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. Neither of them are all that exciting, and certainly don’t stand up as stand-alone pieces of marketing art. The Hulk’s is especially week, showing a character that seems to be not so much muscled |

| Pictures has made some changes to what falls under the purview of Rogue Pictures and Focus Features, reports The Hollywood Reporter. Under the new org chart, Universal will now be responsible for the distribution and marketing of films from Rogue. That could give significantly more marketing power to Rogue’s slate of arthouse and |

| Universal has launched the official website for Hellboy 2, the long-in-gestation sequel to the comic adaptation. The site is laid out really, really nicely - kind of like a personalized homepage, with different content sections blocked around the site. There’s all the usual content, but they also included an RSS feed so you can subscribe to |

| Charlie Wilson's War poster |

| This poster for the Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts/Philip Seymour Hoffman political drama Charlie Wilson’s War is, if you’ll please excuse me, just awful. For one thing, there’s absolutely no visual design to it. It’s Hanks and Roberts looking very stiff while Hoffman leers ion the background. For another thing, the campy copy |

| Universal has created a MySpace page for Wanted, their adaptation of a Mark Millar graphic novel about a secret society of assassins and the young man who unwittingly becomes part of that. The page is surprisingly un-cluttered for a MySpace layout. The trailer is at the top and to the side is a really text-heavy synopsis of the movie’s |

| Universal has unleashed the first real bit of poster art, excluding the Comic-Con teaser last summer, for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. These two are character posters for Liz Sherman, played by Selma Blair, and Abe Sapien, who is physically played by Doug Jones but voiced by David Hyde Pierce. Both are great since these are very distinctive |

This being one of the all-time greatest character designs ever it’s no surprise that the poster is quite cool. It’s the same sort of extreme close-up we got with the Liz |

| I was reading Gus’ post on the Hellboy 2 character posters and noticed something. He says they’re not that exciting because we’ve seen these characters before. But that’s the advantage that sequels have, they can use the characters we’ve come to know in previous installments as marketing hooks in and of themselves. |

In Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins Martin Lawrence - who I do occasionally enjoy when he’s relaxing and not trying so damn hard to be *!*FUNNYY*!* - plays a Dr. Phil type lifestyle advice tele-doc who travels home to show off his fiancee to his folksy, embarrassing family.
