We have a new poster and plot synopsis to share with you today for City Of Ember. We get the following hookup from our friends at moviesonline:
For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember’s once powerful generator is failing … and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers in a race against time, must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city’s existence, and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever.
This is a poster that wells up glee from within me. It isn’t the greatest poster on earth, but it does appear to be a painted art piece rather than another photoshopped floating-head special. I very much prefer a painted poster and would like to extend kudos to those involved for making a wise decision.
City Of Ember stars Bill Murray and is set to be in theaters Oct 10, 2008.

looks like a sequel for the jurney to the center of the earth…
I seen the trailer for this and I was immediately interested. However Doug, is that date you give correct? Look at the poster. It looks like “18.12.08″ Did they move it up to December?
I’m a big fan of the Books of Ember and am siked for this film. Cool poster too. and good question on the date i thought it was an October release
Looking at that poster, I have a feeling that person isn’t going to fall off that cliff, and everything is going to be okay.
when i saw the trailer for this it really reminded me of bioshock. to such a degree that it made me wonder about the source material and when it was written.
It reminds me of the old Goonies poster when they are all hanging from the ceiling of the cave. Hope it is a good film.
Great poster. I think it won’t scores big but I’ll watch it.
Not really of interest until the last sentence. May check out this Murrayrific film. Agree about the painted poster thing aswell, so much more character.
I think this movie looks somewhat interesting but it is still going to be a blockbuster rental..for me
Even though the poster looks hand painted i’m 99% sure this a work done in Photoshop..
Digital artists these days posses supernatural skills.. and godly vision..
Looks like a great family movie. Family goes to cinema, me in the pub with fiends :D
i don’t read much but if i had to pick this would be up there, the book was wonderful, so the movie must be good
I really liked the two first novels, i.e. “City of Ember” and “People of Sparks”, then the book series began to suck big. I did not finish part three. I’m looking forward to the movie, but I fear they have changed the story too much. There are a couple of things that are really wrong already on the poster.
The city of Embers logo is a total rip-off of a logo I did over two years ago for my friends Electrical Company – Judge for yourself http://www.dozadesign.com/city_of_embers_ripoff.jpg
