Photo Bomb!

Thanks for checking out the latest edition of Photo Bomb!, your weekly roundup of all movie-related photos and posters floating around the internet.

Not the strongest week we've ever had, but still plenty of great stuff. The films we have new photos for include "The Butler", "Jack Reacher", "The Guilt Trip", "Paranoia", "Behind the Candelabra", "Carrie", "Zero Dark Thirty", "The Impossible", and "Mad Max: Fury Road".

And we have some new posters for films "Machete Kills", "The Sessions", "Epic", "Lincoln", "Red 2", "Looper", and "Killing Them Softly".

Hit the jump for all of this week's newest content! 

First, let's start with some photos from Lee Daniels' "The Butler". This interesting story follows Eugene Allen (Whitaker), who was a servant at the White House, and saw eight different Presidents comes through office in his time there. And one of those, was John Kennedy (Marsden). The overall ensemble cast representing the various presidents is pretty fantastic actually. (Showblitz)



Here's a new one from "Jack Reacher", the upcoming action/thriller starring Tom Cruise (and in this photo, Robert Duvall). The film is based on the novel One Shot. Should be a pretty good action ride; I generally have faith in projects Cruise is involved with. (Collider)


We move next to our first photo of Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand in the family comedy "The Guilt Trip". This seems like an odd pairing, but I'll be curious to see a bit more from this to see how it plays out. This one releases Christmas day of this year and will try to compete with "Django Unchained". (The Film Stage)


This next photo doesn't make me very happy. Harrison Ford is not looking too great these days... For my own sake I've decided I'm assuming they're trying to make him look old and deathly for the movie. This man still needs to give me another Indiana Jones movie! This film, however, is "Paranoia", and the spy thriller also brings in Liam Hemsworth and Amber Heard for starring roles. (ComingSoon)


We recently saw our first image of Matt Damon and Michael Douglas in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming biopic about Liberace, "Behind the Candelabra", but it wasn't a great shot. Here are a few more, with a bit more detail. They definitely look very 70's (and Michael Douglas continues our trend of actors looking way too old these days). (The Insider)




Here are some great shots of particularly ChloĆ« Grace Moretz, but also Julianne Moore too. These of course are for the upcoming remake of "Carrie". This will hit theaters in March of 2013. I think that Moretz is a solid choice to bring this role to life once more. (Entertainment Weekly)



Next up, some new shots for Kathryn Bigelow's next film, "Zero Dark Thirty". These two shots focus on Jessica Chastain and Joel Edgerton. Bigelow's next war drama is set to hit theaters December 19, 2012. (The Playlist)



These two are for the tsunami-causing dramatic thriller, "The Impossible", starring Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. Nothing too spectacular here, but I suppose if you have interest in this project, it's always fun to see something new. This gets its release December 21, 2012. (We Got This Covered)



We end on a fun note, with some great new set shots from the upcoming "Mad Max: Fury Road". The film will star Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. I 'm digging the look here, and hoping that they can make something fun out of this premise. We won't find out until sometime in 2013 though, when the film releases. (CineCommunity)








We move on to the Movie Posters section, and start things off with a look at another character poster for the upcoming "Machete Kills". Why do we keep seeing such random character posters? This one features Marko Zaror, but I'm still holding out for a sweet poster of Mel Gibson. The movie should be pretty fun though. (IMP Awards)


Next up is the newest poster for the film "The Sessions" (formerly titles "The Surrogate"). The film stars John Hawkes, Helen Hunt, and William H. Macy. This was one of the darlings of Sundance earlier this year. It will hit theaters October 26, 2012. (JoBlo)


This is our first poster for the animated feature, "Epic". As the poster notes, this is from the same studio that brought us "Ice Age" and "Rio". I wasn't ever blown away with either of those films, but the animation always looked nice. Here's hoping that this end-of-the-world plot makes for a fun movie experience. (MoviePedia)


Here's a great first poster for Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln biopic, aptly titled "Lincoln". The film will star Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role, and hits theaters November 16, 2012. I'm hoping this one connects a little better with critics than we expected "War Horse" to last year. (MSN Movies)


For all of those of you who didn't realize that we needed a sequel to the underwhelming 2010 film "Red", here's the proof that you were wrong. Apparently the film did good enough to deserve this sequel, "Red 2". The film returns most of the main players from the last go-around, and this time brings in a few more old faces. This is basically just a watered-down version of "The Expendables". I have little interest. The poster looks cool though. (Kinopoisk)


This is the newest poster for Rian Johnson's sci-fi thriller, "Looper". This is just more imagery for the film that looks great. I like this poster, and I am looking forward to this release, now only a month away. (The Film Stage)


And we finish this week's post off with the newest poster for Andrew Dominik's film, "Killing Them Softly". I really love the simplicity of this poster. That huge font on top of the jet black background is perfect. Plus Brad Pitt with that shotgun is pretty cool looking too. This is a huge improvement over the last poster released. The film releases October 19, 2012. (Moviefone)
