Let's summarize all of the recent poster additions we've had over here. First up, from Fox Searchlight Pictures comes the first poster for the Ed Helms comedy "Cedar Rapids" which opens on February 11th next year.

Also in the cast of the Miguel Arteta film are John C. Reilly, Anne Heche, Sigourney Weaver, John C. Rielly, Alia Shawkat and Stephen Root.

See the poster here.

PLOT:
Ed Helms ("The Hangover") will play an inept insurance agent who attends an industry convention in order to try to save the jobs of his colleagues. The script was penned by Phil Johnston who developed alongside Helms. John C. Reilly joins in as a family man who attends the conference as a form of relaxation and to let loose. Sigourney Weaver plays Helms' former seventh-grade teacher.

Next, from Warner Bros. Pictures we have a second poster from the action thriller "Unknown" (a.k.a. "Unknown White Male") which is helmed by "Orphan" director Juame Collet-Serra. Film opens on and stars Liam Neeson, January Jones, Diane Kruger, Aidan Quinn, Frank Langella, Bruno Ganz and Sebastian Koch.

See the poster here.

PLOT:
Tells of Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) and his wife Elizabeth (January Jones) who attend a medical conference in Berlin. A bad car accident leaves him in a coma and, when he finally awakens, shockingly learns that another man (Aidan Quinn) has in fact assumed his identity. No one, including his wife believes him. He gets aid from a Berlin taxi driver (Diane Kruger) and starts uncovering a bizarre identity snatching plan.

Also from Warner Bros. comes two new character additions for the "Hall Pass" comedy frontlined by Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis. Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, known for "There's Something About Mary," try make their comeback and win back fans after several appalling releases including the more recent "Fever Pitch" and "The Heartbreak Kid" comedies.

See the posters here.

Catch it February 25th.

PLOT:
Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis will play two guys who get a week of freedom from the normal obligations of marriage and try turn their "hall pass" into a week of decadence. However, they find it difficult to suddenly roam their hometown as bachelors like they did before. Things go awry when their ladies decide to do the same thing and take a vacation together.

Next, from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures' "Gnomeo and Juliet" we have several new posters up. Animated comedy features a strong cast including James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Michael Caine, Jason Statham, Maggie Smith, Patrick Stewart, Ashley Jensen, Stephen Merchant, Matt Lucas, Jim Cummings, Julie Walters, Richard Wilson and Ozzy Osbourne.

Kelly Asbury ("Shrek 2," "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron") directs from the writing by Mark Burton, Kevin Cecil, Andy Riley, John R. Smith and Rob Sprackling, based on the play by William Shakespeare "Romeo and Juliet."

See the posters here.

This one opens on February 11th.

PLOT:
The greatest love story ever told, starring...garden gnomes? In "Gnomeo & Juliet," Shakespeare's revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by Kelly Asbury (co-director of "Shrek 2") and showcasing both classic and original songs by Elton John, the film features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find a happy ending?

Finally, from Summit Entertainment's "Drive Angry" which was shot in 3D, there's a second poster. Film looks cheesy to say the least and adds another notch to Nicolas Cage's bad credit list of late. Still, it has a "Grindhouse" feel to it and could appeal to a select, less finicky audience. Also in the cast are Amber Heard, William Fichtner and Billy Burke.

Patrick Lusier ("My Bloody Valentine") directs the actioner which unspools on Febraury 25th.
