That feels like a mini-trailer. (Not that I don't mind it). I kept wanting to copy and paste it, but it's Flash. I would love to see GIF animated posters. Although, with the amount of in the poster industry... that probably won't happen.

This is probably closer to what you had in mind. It's also a Flash, but it's pretty much a pretty cool moving poster for what I hear is a pretty terrible movie.

So "Snow White and the Huntsman" comes out this weekend, but aren't there a couple of smaller releases, too?

The compositing makes the head look chunky.

Oh, it came out in some places already. Let's see what Australia's poster looks like.

Well that's even worse. Isn't there something else coming out this weekend?

Wow, they must really like this picture of her or something:

I could "hear" the glass being scraped. That would be pretty effective, even in gif form.

I'd love to spend an hour staring in a hypnotic trance at the print of the Die Hard one.

I have the Metropolis poster from that same page on my wall right now. http://www.2046design.com/gallery_comicbooktravelposter.html

And for a movie related one the Akira/Neo Tokyo poster is up in the other room.

Now I really want that HAL poster too...

I'm unfamiliar with this "Crystal Skull" of which you speak. Was that a movie or something? I don't recall it ever existing.

When this poster was going through the wringer I kept thinking about this thread and how it would get blasted. And how nobody would believe me when I say the photo looked like that.

It has been touched up and now everybody is all shiny and Zach's hand looks fake somehow but that is a photo. Now, the baby's face has been changed but yeah. Everyone loved it and thought it was so funny.

Curious.

While it's not extreme, there's also a creepy edge to it that the funniness of the gag doesn't entirely outweigh.

The whole series of posters make me think it's about two gay married men who have adopted a baby, but they are running for the same office! Hi-lar-ious! :iamafag:

(They aren't rival-ish enough in the baby photo, and in the other one, they definitely look like they are playing an intense game of Gay Chicken)

If you're living in the US, go to the midnight IMAX screenings of Prometheus and get this limited edition poster.

Probably a first in first served basis, so make sure you get in early, you lucky bastards.

Just came back from the movie. The poster looks even better in person.

I kind of thought the capsules there were theatre seats at first glance, I wonder if that's in any way intentional.

I ended up getting two of them (somebody sitting near me left theirs behind when the movie was over).

I like it very much.

Yeah, I haven't seen Last Crusade for a while so I was looking at the poster and thinking "were the rats really that major of a plot point?"

There was the part with the fire in the crypts and rats coming through the overturned coffin. That scene stands out in my mind whenever I think of the movie.

Oh, and the quip Indy makes that his father can't stand rats.

It is to tie in with the snakes in the Raiders of the Lost Ark one.

Maybe this has been asked, but do these independent/fan posters have to pay licensing money to the studios? I just can't imagine the studios letting independent artists use their property to make money for themselves.

I'd like it more if the spaceship looked as well done as the woods surrounding it.

Right now it looks like some quick shape tool layers and only has a basic resemblance to the ship in the film.

That would be comic accurate. And it is a really good Judge Dredd poster. Imposing, dark, brutal.

It looks like it's just a teaser trailer. Kind of reminds me of how they did the teaser for the Coppolla-directed Dracula movie.
