I’ve seen Warrior and while I’m technically embargoed from publishing my thoughts, I will say this is a movie you’ll want on your radar. It doesn’t matter if you’re an MMA fan or just a fan of great drama and acting, Warrior delivers the goods. Big time. Plus it’ll make you even more excited to see Tom Hardy play Bane.
The movie opens September 9 and, for now, you can see how dedicated the actors were to their roles in these portraits by Tim Palen. They’re part of an upcoming book called The Men of Warrior but be forewarned. There’s a whole lot of man flesh after the jump.
Thanks to Vulture for the first heads up on these images, of which these are just a small sampling.
You get the sense that these guys really went all out for these rolls and, again without saying too much, it also comes across on screen. Warrior hits theaters on September 9.
And if you like the images above, here’s the press release for the book they’re in:
“The Men Of Warrior” features stunning photographs of the actors and fighters featured in the film, including Tom Hardy, who also wrote the book’s foreword, Joel Edgerton, Erik Apple, Nate Marquardt, and Ron “RJ” Messenger. In its pages, Hardy and Edgerton show off their hard-earned fighting bodies and bloodied upper lips, capturing the tough and dramatic world of WARRIOR in a series of iconic images, all of which are poster-worthy.
Lionsgate and publisher Insight Editions are thrilled to announce “The Men Of Warrior.” Featuring fine art portraits by acclaimed photographer Tim Palen, the book is a companion to the highly anticipated film WARRIOR, which will be in theaters everywhere on September 9, 2011.
Said CEO of the book’s publisher Insight Editions Raoul Goff of the book’s release, “Insight Editions is proud to include Tim Palen to our list of award-winning photographers as we release the larger-than-life fine art photography book “Men of Warrior.”
