I’ve discussed the film “Birds Of Prey and The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” a few times on the website and if you’d care to examine the posts for good measure just click HERE for the rundown. This film opens today in theaters everywhere so let’s examine the Official Theatrical poster, the premise and ensemble casting once more.
The Premise: Since the events of Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn has left the Joker. Batman has disappeared, leaving Gotham City unprotected from crime. When a young girl named Cassandra Cain comes across a diamond belonging to crime lord who goes by the name of Black Mask, Harley joins forces with Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to protect her.

At the time of this writing we are only a few short weeks away from the release of the Warner Brothers film “Birds Of Prey” which actually has the full title of “Birds Of Prey and The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn”. Whew. That sure is a mouthful so I will just be calling it “BOP” for the most part. Anyway, if you didn’t see the second Official Trailer, you are going to want to click HERE to be up to speed. This post is going to be all visuals and features all of the promotional posters that I saw across the various channels. As you diehard readers know, I love posting this kind of stuff as they remind me of all of my variant cover comic book posts. After the first poster, I’ve included the premise and way down below you’ll find the casting before I bid you adieu. Enjoy.

With the film arriving in just under a month from now, it was good to see a second trailer for the upcoming Warner Brother Pictures release “Birds Of Prey”; You might recall that we shared the First Trailer back around the time of the New York Comic Con. As already specified, the films full title is “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn”. It’s going to expand the DCEU in hopefully a positive way and now its time to enjoy this second trailer. I’ve got the premise and casting down below as well.

It’s very seldom that I get to see a movie on it’s opening day but I made an exception with this one since I was really dying to see a film after having been put off on what “Prometheus” was all about from far too many of my friends in the media realm. Granted a few of my buddies enjoyed it, but the real Science Fiction and Comic Book purveyors that I confide in all left me feeling I would be disappointed. That one we wait for DVD I guess. Anyways, the trailer for “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” struck me as interesting and rather clever so I marked it on my calendar to see and this afternoon I did just that.
The film presents the secret life of our nations beloved 16th President who ends up becoming a vampire slayer as he seeks revenge for the murder of a loved one. The core of the film takes place in his life as a young man and there is a lot of action, a decent amount of vampire gore and some really cool special effects. Without going too deeply into the plot, the story illustrates how vampires had infected our still young country and were a menace that needed to be eliminated at all costs. We see how they added extra menace in the Civil War and seek to make the United States of America a country of vampires. That’s all I am saying about the plot since this is even the Wikipedia entry for the film spoils the whole thing. Check out the trailer link that was posted HERE to see some of what I am outlining here.
Benjamin Walker plays Lincoln while Dominic Cooper is Sturgess, his trainer in the art of hunting vampires. Rufus Sewell does a great job as Adam, the sinister leader of the vampire hordes in this Tim Burton/Timur Bekmambetov co-produced bit of coolness. When we were in the theater I had to admit that I originally thought that this might have been based on a comic book but I was incorrect. There is an actual book which was written by Seth Grahame-Smith and he also adapted the screenplay for the film which was a pleasant surprise. To me that means that the film is a lot closer to the book than you might have gotten otherwise. You can order a copy via Amazon.com below. I know I am going to do that soon, and definitely will be picking up this movie on Blu-ray when it is released. I still have a few weeks to wait before “The Amazing Spider-Man” is released but I can honestly say that this is a two thumbs up recommendation and a hell of a good ride from beginning to end. Perhaps I need to say “two-horns up” since we are a Metal site after all.
