Twilight Scores at the Box Office

The teenage girls turned out in full force this weekend, and propelled the big screen adaptation of the first of Stephenie Meyer’s popular vampire books to the top spot at the box office, with an estimated $70.5 million in ticket sales.

Playing one of the leads as Edward, has also established Robert Pattinson as a bonafide heart throb to that seething mass of female consumers, who know what they like and know what they want…

The movie also established a record for Catherine Hardwicke (“Thirteen“, “Lords of Dogtown” and “The Nativity Story“) as the biggest opening ever for a female director. The opening also was the fourth-biggest ever for the month of November.

With the success of this first film, the sequels are already in the works – the next 2 books in the series – 2006′s New Moon (2006) and last year’s Eclipse – will be shot back-to-back with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson returning.

Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Cam Cigandet, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone and Ashley Greene
Directed by: Catherine Hardwicke

Twilight Movie Font:
A good match for the book font, Zephyr Regular, fills the gap, but the movie title font is probably a modified verson.

Directed by: Catherine Hardwicke
Official Website: TheTwilightmovie.com

Stephenie Meyer’s hugely popular book series comes to the big screen this winter on December 12, 2008 from Summit Entertainment.

A modern day love story between a vampire and a human, “Twilight” is an action-packed tale of a girl, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who has always been a little bit different. When her mother remarries and sends her to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. But once there, she meets the mysterious Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met – an immortal who hasn’t aged since 1918, and can run faster than a mountain lion and stop a moving car with his bare hands.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

Cast: Selma Blair, John Hurt, Ron Perlman, Doug Jones, Thomas Kretschmann, Jeffrey Tambor, Luke Goss, Anna Walton, Brian Steele, Roy Dotrice
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Official Website: www.hellboymovie.com

The big red dude (played by Ron Perlman) with the attitude is back, as the kitten-loving hero from Hell returns in “Hellboy II: The Golden Army.” Directed by Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth“), it’s more action, humor and character-based spectacle drawing on the first movie. Selma Blair returns as Hellboy’s pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz.

“After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it’s up to the planet’s toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it’s time to call in Hellboy.”

Hilary Swank stars in this supernatural thriller opening next week on April 5, 2007 from Warner Bros. Pictures.

Ghost Rider

Cast: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Raquel Alessi, Angry Anderson, Arthur Angel
Directed by: Mark Steven Johnson
Official Website: GhostRider-movie.com

Marvel Comics’ “Ghost Rider” comes to the big screen on February 16, 2007 from Columbia Pictures. It was always one of what I felt was one of the more stylish of the Marvel properties (and I love the Silver Surfer, too).

The movie synopsis: “In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny’s path crosses again with Roxanne, now a gogetting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny’s soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery Ghost Rider, a supernatural agent of vengeance and justice.”

I like the 27″ x 40″ Ghost Rider Movie Poster Print – Style A. personally.

Mark Steven Johnson also directed Daredevil with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck in 2003.

Buffy, er, I mean Sarah Michelle Gellar shows up in this new supernatural thriller opening on November 10, 2006 from Rogue Pictures. She plays Joanna Mills, a tough young Midwesterner determined to learn the truth behind the increasingly terrifying supernatural visions that have been haunting her.

Asif Kapadia also directed “The Warrior” in 2001, which is a striking poster in itself…
