My only issue with those posters is that Indy wasn't alone for any of those scenes. He was with Marion in the pit, with Willie and Short Round on the bridge, and with a bunch of folks each time he was in the Canyon of the Crescent Moon. If anything, I would have picked the map room from Raiders and the leap from the lion's head from Crusade; not sure about Temple.

It wasn't until shortly afterwards that they were discovered and Marion was dumped in with him, while Willie and Short Round were held captive at edge of the bridge by Mola Ram's men. But yeah, in the Canyon he was on horseback with his father, Marcus and Sallah. It'd have been cool to have them in the poster (a tiny Sallah with his fez) but that's pretty minor after all.

The nice thing about those is while they're nostalgia bait, they're also somewhat evocative to an uninformed viewer. Of course, the problem is 2 of the 3 don't really evoke the right feeling.

I really like the Temple of Doom poster. The other two are just really bland and could be from any of half a dozen movies. Also, ToD needs some crocs in that water.

Sheldrake posted:No Crystal Skull poster? If there was a Crystal Skull poster in that same style, it wouldn't make sense to repeat the theme of Indy being alone in the center, since much of the movie is more about 'The Jones Family' than just Indy by himself (continuing a trend started in Crusade with the introduction of his father?)

None of them are about Indy in isolation. The whole premise of Raiders is Indy learning to accept and embrace how much he cares about Marion.

Crystal Skull in the same motif would either have to be tiny Indy standing alone in front of a UFO taking off, or emerging from a fridge in front of a mushroom cloud. So yeah.

Considering that shot of him in front of the mushroom cloud was amazing, I'd be happy about that. That movie sucked (and the fridge thing was dumb) but that was cool. I'll defend it forever.

If Crystal Skull was just that screen grab for 2 hours it would have been a massive improvement.

I would've liked some closeup shots of Mutt being incinerated by the nuke, intercut with the other screengrab.

It's really impressive how Spielberg told his actors to stare at a tennis ball hanging by a string and imagine it was something else.

Vagabundo posted:Apparently this is real. The composition of this is mindblowing. The random streak on the left indicating motion, from the lazily hacked together Cage, including poorly photoshopped tie, making him look like he's from the 1800s at first glance, to the feet melting into the sand, back to what appears to be the plane still in motion grinding against the ground, to the generic city skyline in the background... it's an almost meta piece of commentary on the modern state of film posters.

It is a terrible poster, but I think the plane is supposed to be in the act of crashing and the streak on the left is smoke from the engine.

Parts of that skyline look like Vancouver, so it would have to be water in that poster, not sand.

I hope the movie is faithful to all the batshit details of the book, like Israel being a wealthy superpower with 0% unemployment due to their agricultural exports. Please put the stupidity of the authors on full display.

I'm guessing it will be rather actiony. Look at Vic Armstrong's credits on IMDb. Guy's been the action and/or stunt coordinator on pretty much everything. He even got this in his credits: Legend (unicorn master) - 1985

The problem I have is that it looks like Cage is walking away from the wreckage, like a survivor or something. Considering he's all on his lonesome in the middle of the desert with the plane, it just boggles the mind.

Cage looks weird on that poster. His upper body seems like he's standing resolutely in place, while his legs appear to be moving. I dunno, maybe he's shuffling in the desert?
