Oh So Geeky

Carrie Fisher didn't expect to become famous, let alone the icon of a major franchise.  Daughter to actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher, she started studying the arts as a young adult, and then sort of fell into showbusiness by taking one small job and then landing the role of a lifetime. In 1977, Princess Leia in George Lucas's A New Hope became a beacon for what would become generations of fans.

Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem star as "a couple whose relationship is tested when invited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence". The film also stars Domnhall Gleeson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Ed Harris. Aronofsky tweeted the gruesome, ethereal poster created by  visual artist James Jean  on Mother's Day. It doesn't hold back on the macabre, to say the least. Here it is in full: Photo Credit: James Jean / Paramount Pictures Aronofsky is not one to skimp out on symbolism or metaphors. With psychological horrors like Pi , Requiem for Dream and Black Swan under his belt, this is the exact kind of gorgeous disturbance we can expect. Jennifer Lawrence's character offers a vacantly hopeful expression while ripping her heart out. Subtle details in the background offer a few twists such as a doorknob, a...
