While we’re all big fans of David Gordon Green around here, I venture that I’m not alone in expressing my slight dismay at yet another stoner comedy with two of the same actors from Pineapple Express. Not to say that I don’t look forward to it; I do, but I like him when sticking to the much lovelier indie drama types.
That said, I also look forward to seeing what he can do with a medieval-style, big budget fiesta complete with outrageous special effects. Said effects apparently are what is dogging down the post production and has the film pushed back a few months into mid-2011 rather than this Halloween as previously stated. I think it’ll be worth the wait – Portman usually is.
Anyway, a new batch of pics floating around the nets today, scanned from a Spanish magazine, Fotogramas. Check ‘em out below. Franco has a pretty unruly looking sword there (a human spine?) and the above shot of Portman sort of reminds me of a still from King Arthur featuring Keira Knightley. Awesome.
