Boing Boing Gadgets has four Star Wars posters from Russia, none of which bear any actual resemblance to the movies. (Yeah, it gets weirder!) Linked in the comments is an awesome (and identifiable!) Polish poster for The Empire Strikes Back.

The movie posters for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have finally made it on to the internet — and look pretty damn cool. Is it July 17 yet?

The BBC is reporting that the set where stuntman David Holmes was seriously injured last month has been reopened, two weeks before the filming of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows begins.

Finally, The Deathly Hallows was the most borrowed book from UK libraries last year. 

Using the web to its fullest potential, an online poster for the upcoming Terminator: Salvation has appeared on aintitcool.com.

Appearing at this past weekend’s Firefly con in Burbank, QMX has released a double-sided map of the ‘Verse for Firefly/Serenity fans: Where in the ‘Verse is (Carmen) Miranda?

And some British archaeologists search for the facts while watching the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull DVD.

Drew Struzan’s greatest hits, with commentary from the artist himself (including the Special Editions, above) in Time:

While they fit together perfectly in a triptych, they were never painted side by side. I basically had a week to finish each. I put a black border around each one and had everything breaking out of the frame to make it look grander than it actually was. George liked it so much that he wanted the rest of the Star Wars posters to match that. So, on Episode I, and II, and III, I repeated that concept. George has a wonderful screening room at Skywalker Ranch, and there’s this big wall with all six paintings lined up in order. It’s one big movie.

TheRaider.net reports that the legendary artist is retiring from illustration to spend time with his family and work on his own paintings. Struzan is reponsible for several iconic Star Wars and Indiana Jones movie posters, and even a few book covers (and stamps!) not to mention Blade Runner, Harry Potter, Hellboy, Back to the Future and hundreds of other films. Check out more of his work at DrewStruzan.com.

This featurette from the DVD for Frank Darabont’s The Mist shows the famed poster artist in his element and talking about his art.

TFN spotted a few new posters over at Trailer Addict.

It must be spoof day… Rebelscum spotted a poster for Family Guy’s Empire Strikes Back spoof/Blue Harvest followup. Looks like a lithograph will be available at SDCC – Acme’s booth is #5429, and Seth MacFarlane will be on hand signing there Friday.

EU Cantina spotted these over at Latino Review. Thoughts?

I’m not sure I want to think too hard about the fact that Evil Dead: The Musical even exists, but it’s hard to deny these hilarious Broadway poster spoofs!
