Coming Soon has the new poster for Secretariat, via Disney. Looking at this thing, as someone who grew up in Louisville, I wouldn’t make a bet on it that’s for sure. It’s dogshit, actually. Especially for a biopic of one of the greatest horses in American racing history.
I was checking out the entry on Wikipedia and came across an alternate poster that looks much better (plus it appeals to my Churchill Downs sensibilities):
A poster looking something like this would have said it all:
Or hell, just go the floating head route if you must:
Anyway, Secretariat opens on October 8th and stars Diane Lane, John Malkovich, Graham McTavish, Kevin Connolly, Amanda Michalka, Scott Glenn, James Cromwell, Nelsan Ellis, Dylan Walsh and Fred Dalton Thompson.
Anybody else feel like renting Zoo all of a sudden?

You are so, so, so absolutely right about that third image. If they could put that on busses or in subway tunnels or on three bus shelter ads in a row or put one poster with the "pack" on one end of a movie theater's poster row and then one with Secretariat at the far end, that would be really, really something. Great call.
1) Are you saying the film is dogshit? Or just the poster? I mean, have you seen the movie already? 2) This and some other recent articles have led me to believe that CHUD is trying to expand its focus beyond the usual genre-based news and humor pieces. Is this true? Because this definitely isn't something for your normal audience.
#2: No, the poster is dogshit. Haven't seen the film yet. I actually hope it's good. I also hope Diane Lane is nude. Near the horse and…nevermind.
Fuck I hate horses. My ex was obsessed with them, and this movie. Looks too much like of a Seabscuit rip-off to me, but I'm sure the kiddies will love it.
ah, are you saying you want to fuck a horse after ZOO?
Ugh, I had to do graphic design for a horse racing course for a few years, and every single image they had was like the first poster. They had no creativity and thought people only wanted to see that one type of picture.
So they got around to making Spider-Man 4 after all.
