Similarly, later this year, cult indie filmmaker Rian Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom) will offer what sounds like a refreshing take on the time-travel sub-genre with Looper.
A Mondo-created one-sheet for Cabin the Woods has surfaced online, to help round out the film’s marketing campaign. Meanwhile, today’s Looper poster kicks off the film’s official promotional campaign – with a handful of trailer vignettes/previews due out early next week (yay?), to hype the release of the film’s first theatrical promo.

It’s been thirteen years since the vulgar teen comedy American Pie exploded onto movie screens at the end of the 90’s. Since then, two sequels– featuring many of the original characters– were released in theaters, and a few wannabe Pies were sent directly to DVD.

With that in mind, we decided to look back at these characters over the past films and discuss how they have matured or–in Stifler’s case–failed to grow up over the span of years.
