(The Munich poster shown above is the international poster… not domestic… and not fake.)

RT @nigelmfs: Polanski's VENUS IN FUR is an energizing riot. The most purely enjoyable film I've seen at #Cannes2013
RT @gemko: Venus in Fur (Polanski): 61. As elegantly directed as CARNAGE, but with a decent text this time (albeit on a subject I find unin…
RT @JonathanRomney: VENUS - brittle, fun and blimey, a touch nor raunchy than his OLIVER TWIST.
DP: @BumbleWard But I am not a great fan of the cinema of negative drama… plenty of critics feel otherwise
DP: The 6 hr version - w/ a story - might’ve been great RT @BumbleWard: @DavidPoland that makes me sad Dave! The confession scene blew me away.
“The true punk film of the festival.”
~ Romain Blondeau On Claire Denis’ Les Saluds in Les Inrocks
“It’s also defined commercially by the difference between a colorful, Hawaii-set comedy starring George Clooney and a black-and-white, prairie-based old-age odyssey featuring a straggly and unkempt Bruce Dern. All the same, Paramount Vantage should be able to ride accolades for this very fine Cannes competition entry to respectable specialized returns in fall release.”

Munich: 12 Oscar noms but no wins.
Wrecktum: Poster Psychic
This poster does nothing for me. Maybe seeing it in larger format, but this is underwhelming–and I like minimalist.
i’m dreading this. kushner is really going to screw this up.
I don’t like Bana in these thinking roles. No emotions. No comedy. I’m guessing his character here is a tortured introvert.
It’s a fake, per Universal.
What, the poster?
A pretty damn good fake.
It’s not a fake. It’s the international. And domestic could well be pretty close.
I like it. Good, moody little picture.
The studio says the poster is not authentic. that’s all I know.
Where does the studio say that?
I don’t really see a connection… you could say the Sun in the Empire of the Sun poster is from the window of the Color Purple poster if you want to stretch that far.
Why isn’t Whoopi in Munich?
^ She is. She cameos as Golda Meir.
oh lordy. That’s a bad poster.
That does not say ANYTHING about the film whatsoever. Why isn’t the Olympics flag waving outside the window? Or… or… i dunno. Something. That just makes it look like a bad German art movie.
The only reason though that I would suspect this being a fake is because they haven’t plastered Spielberg’s importance all over it.
Plus, I much prefered the originally touted name of “Vengeance”.
Angelus, have you see the Australian movie “Chopper”? He’s brilliant in that one. And cause I’m Australian I had grown up essentially watching him as a stand-up comedian and as a star of a sketch comedy show called Full Frontal. From Poyta to Chopper.
I hope this is a huge breakthrough role for Eric Bana.
A breakthrough for Bana?
Rent Chopper and talk to us.
Camel,
That was the point I was making. I don’t like Bana in these introspective roles. I like when hes taking chances, funny, getting to show off his talent. Troy, Hulk, I assume Munich, don’t get to showcase his great talent.
How many people have seen Chopper? This movie will hopefully be a way to showcase his talent AND have it in front of a mass audience in a way that Hulk or Troy didn’t.
It’s called Netflix. Who can’t rent a movie nowadays especially hardcore film fans that we are on the hot blog?
That’s why it’s called a breakthrough. Bana would break through to non-obsessive fans who don’t see small movies.
So, like I said they should go out and rent it if they haven’t seen it. And in the future he should start taking more roles like that than these low key roles. Is that clearer Jeff?
Don’t get upset, we’re on the same side. People aren’t going to rent Chopper if they don’t have a reason to. A great performance in Munich might be that reason.
I, and a few others, have heaped praise on Chopper and told people to rent it. I’m not starting a mass advertising campaign. I’m talking to the people that come here that may not have seen it or even heard of it and want to know whats the big deal with this Bana guy. Isn’t that reason enough to rent it?
You mean to tell me you come here everyday and you don’t listen to what others say about great movies and check them out? Why even come here if not to learn?
???
All I’m doing is agreeing with the person who said “this could be a breakthrough for Bana” which, if the movie is good and the performance is strong. Hulk and Troy didn’t make him a household name. This movie might.
He won’t be a household name unless he hooks up with Jessica Simpson or a Hilton or steals Aneglina Jolie from Pitt or joins Scientology and jumps on a couch.
He should stick to the great work.
Ugh. He was horrible in Hulk! Chopper, Black Hawk Down now this (and even Troy sort of) are the best for him. Also, a great smaller comedic turn in The Castle! “Kick boxing… 24 hours a DAY!”
I would also like to express my agreement with KamikazeCamelV2.0 on the point about this project’s title. “Vengeance” is such an awesome title compared to the incredibly dull and unoriginal “Munich.” Even “Schindler’s List” is a much better title than “Munich.” Yeah, calling it “Vengeance” no doubt makes it less marketable, as audiences wouldn’t be so clear on the subject, but the old working title had such emotion, such meaning, such weight, and such an EDGE with it. Anyone agree?
In case you haven’t seen, the Munich Web site uses the above poster image, so it’s authentic as far as being officially attached to the movie. And in case you haven’t heard (or seen), the trailer for it is now posted there.
