Don't Turn Your Back Away From The 2013 Trend For Movie Posters

Movie posters have their own stories to tell. They are mostly among one of the factors why movie-goers watch the movies they advertise. In fact, no blockbuster movie has ever come out without a movie poster preceding it.

But for some reason, year 2013 opens a new chapter for movie poster business. As early as today it has created a trend that only with the sharp eyes would notice.

Check these 2013 movies that seem to follow a new trend of movie posters, with the characters turning their backs away from the audience:

I am not quite sure what's the psychology behind this trend, but I know this strategy makes the poster a little more interesting... intriguing.

Please do share if you have seen a poster that follows the same trend that is not included in the list, because I expect this is not the last of this.

Game Of Thrones Season 3 First Vlog Discusses Behind The Scenes On Art Direction

Please pardon the dying terminologies in this post, but it feels like the end of the world (days ahead the Mayan December 21, 2012 prophecy -- or sham). I am dying inside for any Game of Thrones updates and someone must have heard my wish that it finally came true.

Presenting the first vlog from the production of Game of Thrones Season 3. This is a two-minute video that features the thoughts and styles of the people behind the show's art direction, giving glimpses on the future of the series.

Watch the first vlog from the sets of Game of Thrones Season 3:

My goodness! New scenes, new characters and new locations! What more can I ask for. My body feels a little numb because of too much shaking. Even if this video is not the actual show itself, it gave me a little something to hold on to, to look forward to. I just hope it's going to be shown much sooner.

If, like me, you can't get enough of Game of Thrones, here is the production video for this season.

Game of Thrones Season 3 will premiere at HBO on March 31, 2013 and will cover the first half of A Storm of Swords, which is the third book in A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. If only there is a fast-forward button in time, then I would pushed it already...

J.J. Abrams's Star Trek Into Darkness Releases A Melancholic Teaser Trailer

After the poster and first trailer the focused more on the action side of the movie, Star Trek Into Darkness unleashes a two-minute teaser trailer to cover the drama side of the story. The trailer started out with a lot of melancholy and depressing chills, telling the tragedy that befell the unfortunate characters.

This trailer instills a little turn of events after some viewers had a chance of watching the 9-minute prologue in some special IMAX screenings of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which by the way wasn't shown in the local IMAX Cinemas, here in SM Cebu City... Thumbs down! I wished they haven't skipped it.

Watch the teaser trailer of Star Trek Into Darkness below.

The local IMAX fiasco was a let down for me and I just can't help but be mortified with the new trailer that features a very nice track of melancholic music. This gets me a little too excited and I can't wait for it's official release in Summer of 2013.

You think you are safe... you are not. → This is still for the local IMAX epic fail!
