Spider-Noir Trailer and Posters

A new trailer, and four new posters, have arrived for Spider-Noir. The series follows the trials and tribulations of Ben Reilly, Private Eye. It looks so fantastically dark and retro.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel: 

Based on Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man Noir, the “Spider-Noir” live-action series tells the story of Ben Reilly, a private investigator in 1930s New York. Played by Nicolas Cage, the burnt-out private eye is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only super hero.

Cage is joined by Lamorne Morris, portraying journalist Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li’s Cat Hardy, a nightclub songstress and femme fatale, and Karen Rodriguez, who plays Ben Reilly’s assistant detective, Janet.

Two of the posters are virtually identical, but on is in true-hue full color,

and the other is in authentic black and white. The series will be released in both styles.

The other two posters are so retro. They look like the covers of the old pulp fiction gumshoe books from the 1930s.

Spider-Noir arrives on Amazon Prime Video on May 27th.

Duuuuude

"Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... And Beyond" is my favorite performance at Disney World. The Animal Kingdom show features giant puppets, like Crush, that are totally righteous.

Top Gun Is Turning 40?!

When certain movies reach milestone anniversaries, you start to feel old. For me, it has always been the Star Wars films that make me really notice the passage of time. However, I was rather obsessed with Top Gun when it was released, so this one got me. Top Gun is turning 40, and to celebrate, it is returning to theaters, for one week only, alongside Top Gun: Maverick. 

Do you feel the need?

Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick return to theaters on May 13th.
