westborn posted:If all fails and those trends and techniques can't inspire a new poster there's always the old switcheroo: What really gets me about the Safehouse poster is that it's for a movie that obviously has some money behind it. Pressed is obviously a direct-to-DVD piece of poo poo with a somewhat talented guy who's found his niche in lovely, cheap movies, but Safehouse has recognisable, acclaimed actors with who have been in other major films. It just boggles the mind that a movie that has a bit of money behind it does something that just makes it look so cheap and lovely. Cpt. Spring Types posted:I so wish they would have used one of those for the Blu-ray cover, instead of this poo poo:  This is the cover in Australia and NZ. It's better than the US cover, but it's not exactly stellar either. I wonder if this movie going to get a good cover anywhere.

Mister Chief posted:The UK cover is the best and the one I'll be ordering since Amazon UK always have the cheapest blu-rays and I'll probably be picking up a few other titles. The fact that the distributors used the "Look at how so goddamn 80's I am!" neon pink text really does help.

I know some people have soured on minimalist posters, but here are these. They came up in the Office Space fan page feed on Facebook.  They'll both look nice on the wall, at least.

Jedit posted:In case you didn't know, Sin City is a comic book and the whole movie was designed to look like it was a comic. For it to use Comic Sans in boxouts is not only acceptable, it's the best possible representation of the movie. That plus it's more or less the font used in the comics.

Is it just me, or is the dropped bikini top from the two posters the exact same one, only switched around?

Both of the visible hands and the lower torso of the one on the right look suspicious as well.

westborn posted:And while I'm at it, this one came up in the last thread: What's amazing is that everyone (except Chazz Palminteri) in the rip-off poster is arguably a cheaper, less-talented alternative to the ones they match up to in The Invention of Lying poster.

Rogue1-and-a-half posted:Arguably? There's no doubt that Chazz Palminteri is cheaper than Rob Lowe, but I'd say he's more talented, if typecast. Similarly with Louis CK, who is undoubtedly more talented than David Spade, but I'm not sure if he would have cost more when those movies were made.

Desperado Bones posted:It's probably the same pair of custom "hot girl legs and butt", I'm pretty sure they only slapped a different bikini. That's what I figured it was - slap on a different bikini and play with the shadows a bit, copy & paste bits and pieces from the other poster and call it a day. If they're happy putting the same bikini top and recycling the hands from the other poster, why stop there?

Despite being an obvious photoshop, nothing really stands out as being wrong. The limbs all look like they belong to the appropriate person, the heads look to be about the right size and the highly processed, glossy look just feels like it belongs considering the subject matter of the poster.

I quite like the ones for Boy.   And the taglines make perfect sense when seen in context. I also rather like these.      The Utu poster is an example of the VHS cover being a vast improvement on the theatrical poster.  They got rid of all the people down at the bottom and kept the big giant head. Also, you'll never guess which movie this is: http://i.imgur.com/2DFQA.jpg - somewhat  It's the Japanese poster for Braindead or Dead Alive, depending on where you live.

Yeah, that one's about a young man who is a boxer who's going to make it to the top of middleweight boxing and is trained by Mr. T. Ernie Hudson's the villain who blackmails him or something and takes his sister hostage before the big fight (which takes place in the prison because the much coveted title is apparently being held by an inmate). It features Mr. T killing Ernie Hudson with his bare hands.
