ComingSoon.net has your first look at the insanely awesome teaser poster for Heartless! The movie begins principal photography in London and The Isle of Man on June 8th, 2008. I can’t wait for this one!
Heartless centers on a young man (Sturgess) who is tricked into a deal with a demon and then must fight to save his soul. Framestore-CFC who recently won both the OSCAR and the BAFTA for their VFX in The Golden Compass, will design the mythical creatures that appear in the movie.
I am really busy right now, as I’ve re-opened my design site so my time is very limited and that’s why I’m not updating as much as I have been these past few days, anyways It seems news has slowed once more so I only have a small update for today. I’ve added some images from some of Jim’s projects, thanks to Riikka and Johnny. Check them out!
Jim gave an interview to Empire Online the day of the Heartless photocall. You can stream it here. He and Clémence Poésy talk all about Heartless in it, Jim mentions the Spider-Man musical once again as well. I’ve made captures for the gallery.
Also, as reported earlier, I told you Fifty Dead Men Walking was being marketed at Cannes and the other day we have learned the film has gotten a distribution deal with company Handmade. The agreements states it will have major theatrical distributors throughout the world so hopefully this means the film will not only premiere in the UK later this year but other countries as well. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
Finally the promised scans update is here! I have added scans of Jim’s features in five magazines plus some clippings! I’d like to give a huge thanks to Cassie yet again for so many of these! Lady you are a doll. I believe we’re only missing a few magazines now (Interview 2007’s full article, NY Times 2008, and some misc. pages). I’m doing my best to buy these when I can financially manage it but it’s getting quite costy so this could be it for a little while, but who knows ;) Remember if you have any origianl scans not in the gallery (or know of some more featured publications) please send them in, full credit will be given.
By the way, Jim is featured in magazine ES from May 19, 2008. As the magazine is only available for one day in the London area with the Evening Standard newspaper I had no way of getting this. There is a copy available on ebay but I don’t have the money for this right now. If you have a copy, please consider donating scans. It would be highly appreciated!
I have now added over 50 new pictures of the Heartless photocall bringing the album’s picture count to 106 (with 47 HQs). I would like to pay special thanks to Riikka, Mariana and Cassie for their help with these new images! (My many thanks!)
