If not for the breasts, I'd say it was cool to see Steven Tyler in a movie poster. It's the latest bizarro one-sheet for Pandorum, the movie that causes most sci-fi purists want to string me up because I say I get an Alien vibe from it. It's just a point of reference, nothing more.
As for who is actually in the poster, your guess is as good as mine. There aren't many women in the cast of Pandorum, although none of them have four faces, which is a serious setback to my investigation. The movie does star Ben Foster, Dennis Quaid, and Cam Gigandet from Twilight, though, as well as an international cast assembled by director Christian Alvart.
I like that you can never really get a handle on these posters. They require a second look, and frankly, they're a big unsettling in that Jim Rose Circus sort of way.

Oddball circus leader Jim Rose is to tour the U.S. with the world's largest albino Burmese python.
The showman purchased Maurice Le Grand from a Belgian breeder and the giant slithering reptile arrived in America by crate on Monday.
Rose insists fans will be shocked when they see the size of the beast at upcoming Jim Rose Circus shows: "Until you see it you can't even come close to fathoming what a complete monster it is."
He bought Maurice for $63,000 (GBP42,000) - the highest price ever paid for a snake - and he's happy with his new housemate.
Rose tells WENN, "It's actually pretty cool. We spent three months studying this species and the particulars of the nature of these rare albinos and we have also hired a snake butler who cares for it 24/7.
"Within two weeks I should be able to get into the encampment with it and begin bonding with the python. This has been my dream since I was a little boy. I can't wait to take it from city to city, showing people all over the United States that snakes deserve respect and dignity."...

Taking an apple to class for teacher could soon take on a whole new meaning. There's a plan underway to overhaul the curriculum in U.K. primary schools--nothing special there, since there's always some attempt underway to improve teaching quality. But this scheme is amazing because it's going to put computing skills on the same level as reading, writing and arithmetic.
The plan suggests that learning to read will be facilitated with the aid of search engines like Google, and that Google Earth will be recommended for use in geography lessons. Writing skills will be honed both with a pen and a keyboard, and pupils will be taught the use of spellcheckers, how to insert hyperlinks, use spreadsheets to help understand math, exploit online archives as repositories of knowledge for history lessons, and use video conferencing software to practice language skills with kids in foreign countries.
