Found this on Empire Online.
All I can say is, that is one cool poster.
And here's the accompanying article:
What Lovely Ensembles!
Be Cool and Ocean's Twelve posters online
15 October 2004
Could John Travolta, the Lazarus of Hollywood, be about to hit the comeback trail again? With his latest film, Ladder 49, sitting pretty in the US Top 10 currently, it looks like the bad memories of the last couple of years Äì The Punisher, Basic, Domestic Disturbance Äì could be banished forever.
Of courses, he needs to follow up Ladder 49 with something equally solid. It could be A Love Song For Bobby Long, a drama in which he co-stars with Scarlett Johansson, and which has already been attracting Oscar buzz. But more than likely it will be Be Cool, the long-awaited sequel to Get Shorty, in which Travolta reprises the role of cool-as-ice debt collector-cum-movie producer-cum music hotshot, Chili Palmer.
And, just to reinforce our suspicions, the poster for the movie turned up online today in a super-size version, and it's one of the most striking poster images we've seen in a long time. It showcases a slimmed-down, consummately slick Travolta surrounded by a who's who of movies and music Äì Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn, Danny De Vito, Harvey Keitel, Christina Milian, The Rock, Steven Tyler, and Andre 3000 from OutKast (or Andre Benjamin as he's credited here) Äì and more than lives up to the movie's title.
ÄúJohnÄôs a superstar, an icon,Äù director F. Gary Gray told Empire. ÄúYou put him with Uma Thurman, Andre 3000, The Rock and Steven Tyler - thatÄôs something IÄôd want to see.Äù
He's not wrong Äì we can smell the hit from here.
Meanwhile, the teaser poster for a movie with arguably an even glossier cast also debuted online today. The Ocean's Twelve poster is a spiritual successor to the oh-so-cool 'legs eleven' one-sheet that ran prior to the release of Ocean's Eleven. However, the fact that the legs of Danny Ocean & Co. are clearly running, not gliding, this time might suggest a touch of urgency, even desperation, awaits them in the Steven Soderbergh sequel?
But it's the credits block that warrants most attention. Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Garcia and Roberts were prominent last time around, but joining them above the title this time are Bernie Mac (Frank Catton), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Interpol agent Isabel Lahiri) and Don Cheadle (Basher Tarr), who went entirely uncredited last time. The message is clear: more stars, more glitz, more action, more cool.
