Movie publicity in the current age does not begin and end with trailers and posters and an interview here and there, as you would be well aware. You as an audience are fed in with regular doses of happenings during the movie production itself, at times even the casting is a frenzied activity. With the advent of social networking sites, the movie creators have further found a new tool to use. So with loads of such activity on-going, these two pictures have specifically caught my attention.
Who's in, who's out, has been highly discussed online ever since Bryan Singer came back to the X-Men series with his plans to create a time portal to connect the original and older X-Men with the latest younger versions of them. This picture, tweeted by Bryan Singer, largely concludes the casting discussions, though there are six empty slots which are expected to be for lesser known mutants. It's quite a cool way of showcasing the ensemble that will glorify the movie X-Men: Days of Future Past scheduled for a July 2014 release. I don't expect Singer to botch this up as he did with his latest Jack the Giant Slayer. Can't wait for this one! But a whole year to go...
Releasing not so far away is Gulliermo Del Toro's sci-fi action flick Pacific Rim. The buzz around this movie had tamed down post the release of the first trailer quite a while back. Maybe this picture released by the production house could be the start of things to come. Dwarfing even Godzilla, this picture seems to be of a news broadcaster announcing the discovery of a footprint of the monstrous creatures, called Kaiju, that step out from the oceans and engage mankind into one of its most important battles to protect itself. Pacific Rim has a July 2013 release and hopefully the publicity and the buzz around the movie would also reach the gigantic levels of the footprint!
