The work week is very nearly over, and while we'd love to simply gift everyone out there with a Get Out of Work Early Card, that's just not feasible.  As a consolation prize, however, we'd like to offer three new one-sheets for three very different summer movies.  How different?  Well, the one features the sixteenth U.S. President wielding an ax that he uses to kill vampires, another has neighborhood dads facing aliens, and the last lines up the characters who hang out at a 1980s rock club on Sunset Boulevard.

We've been seeing no small amount of images from G.I. Joe: Retaliation as of late, including three official stills just yesterday.  Paramount is opening up the promotional floodgates for its sequel to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and since the film has a big ensemble of characters bearing the names of Hasbro action figures, today there's a new crop of character posters for eight of those action-figures-turned-action-heroes/villains.

New The Amazing Spider-Man stuff now!  With an already ubiquitous marketing campaign, Marvel Studios and Disney have whipped up The Avengers fever, but Sony Pictures is looking to remind audiences that this summer also sees a new theatrical outing from arguably Marvel's most popular comic book character.  That's why today we've got an international trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, along with a new poster, and standee art that will soon be popping up in the lobby of a theater near you.

Last week, Warner Bros revealed the first theatrical trailer for Dark Shadows, Tim Burton's update of the 1960s-1970s soap opera created by Dan Curtis.  The trailer showed that, instead of being a gothic slog, the film is instead a surprisingly colorful 1970s-set comedy with no small amount of eccentricity.  Today, the studio followed up with nine character posters, one for every member of the sprawling ensemble cast.

The rallying cry of Marvel's preeminent superteam is, of course, "Assemble!"  As far as we can tell so far, assembly is really the entire point of The Avengers, putting a bunch of superheros and government assassins seen in the previous five Marvel Studios releases into one mega-movie.  They'll all learn valuable lessons about teamwork, as demonstrated by the recent The Avengers poster, which put them all together, fighting as one and striking poses on the battle-ravaged streets of Manhattan.  On six new character posters, whoever, the team pairs off to look cool and combat-ready.  Everyone's accounted for, from Iron Man to Black Widow, and one even adds Cobie Smudlers as SHIELD Agent Maria Hill.  You can never go wrong with Smulders.

Standard operating procedure before unveiling a trailer for a much-anticipated event movie is now to release some promotional material at least one day in advance of said trailer, so that the world knows it should prepare itself for the life-altering hype on the way.  To that end, Sony has issued a new image from Men in Black 3, the first sequel in the comedy-science fiction franchise since Men in Black 2 a decade ago.  But that's not all.  No, to ensure that we're all well aware a full theatrical Men in Black 3 trailer arrives on Monday, we also have for you not one, but two – two – posters for the 3D romp.

Five new character posters from What to Expect to Expect When You're Expecting pretty clearly convey that the movie is about pregnancy by showcasing the five lead actresses in varying stages of knocked-upedness.  Elizabeth Banks, Cameron Diaz, Anna Kendrick, Brooklyn Decker, and Jennifer Lopez are all present and accounted for, and each also gets a little quotation to give you some insight on their character and let you know that the movie is agreeably lighthearted.

There's a little challenge in marketing Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, as 2007's Ghost Rider performed pretty well and increased awareness of the Marvel Comics character, but was not generally well received by audiences or fans.  So how can the sequel, which is very nearly a reboot in many important respects, bank off that awareness whilst also promising a wholly different experience, courtesy of aggro-directing duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor?  Two new pieces of poster artwork for the sequel suggest that the approach in selling Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is to go way, way over the top in order to convey the film's wild tone, which is miles away from Mark Steven Johnson's cartoonish round with the property.

Hey, did you know that The Muppets is just about a month away from release?  At this time next months, we'll be on the cusp of witnessing the theatrical return of Jim Henson's creations for their first big screen outing since Muppets from Space bowed at the end of last century.  Hopefully, the new movie will righteously return the Muppets to their cinematic golden age, which began with The Muppet Movie in 1979 and extended to The Muppets Take Manhattan in 1984.  While we wait for the new film to drop, Disney has debuted four new character posters for The Muppets, each featuring two familiar characters and promising some essential element like "romance."  One has Fozzie Bear and the Swedish Chef, another includes Animal and Gonzo, and a third highlights Statler and Waldorf.  The fourth is for Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.

Pop quiz time, kids.  You're designing a poster for an action movie that stars a very recognizable actor.  How do you incorporate said actor while also informing audiences that he's starring in an action movie?  According to time-honored tradition, you make the movie star the central ingredient of the poster and be certain that he's conspicuously holding a gun.  That's the case with the new poster for Contraband, starring Mark Wahlberg as a former criminal who must get back in the smuggling game to protect his family.  That poster leads off a One-Sheet Roundup that also includes The Grey, a survival thriller in which Liam Neeson leads a bunch of grizzled oilmen against feral wolves after a crash in the Alaskan wilderness.  And lastly, there's the latest poster for 11-11-11, the upcoming apocalyptic horror tale from Saw II-IV director Darren Lynn Bousman.
