To tie this back in with movie posters, here's the excellent poster for Battle Royale:



Note that even in the original Japanese poster they use English words, "Battle Royale Survival Program". Given that the film is promoted using English words, and the name is officially "Battle Royale" and not "Having a Time on Island With Killer Children From School", I'll call it "Battle Royale".
That poster is in Chinese, not Japanese.

This earlier version wasn't too bad I thought.



It's one of the reasons I remember this movie quite clearly. It's different.

Speaking of "The Hangover", I suspect there was recently a pitch meeting that went "We've got a generic kids movie set on Halloween. How do we market it?"


Here's a huge version of the center of the poster. It looks like everyone is sitting in front of a rear projection screen.

Dude in the middle is checking out chick's rack so bad.

I haven't seen The Town. Or MI:4. Gotta get on it. Jesse James... He's fine in bit parts, but a leading man he is not.

This is funny to me somehow:

The picture kinda works with the words: "The best weapon is deadliness packed under the guise of normality."

Also irrelevant but the Chinese name of the movie is literally "Crisis from the Sky".

What expressions are their faces supposed to show? I get that Paul Rudd is having a little "oh you" face because he's been denied but Tina Fey looks almost ponderous.

It's pretty cool that you can only see Goode and Kidman's faces in the reflection. And Kidman looks in particular freaky as hell.

Here's the international poster for Les Miserables:



It's a boring heads in the clouds poster. You've got your blockbuster megastars and a love story. I don't think they're convinced the Les Miserables name will sell the film internationally.

The one with young Cosette is my favourite:



The tagline isn't doing it for me though. Could apply to about a million other epics.

I like the contrast between the glossy, airbrushed faces and Wasikowska's hosed up hands.
This feels too polished for me. Also the words look like a tagline from Disaster Movie or something. I like the other poster, it was freaky as hell the first time I saw it and noticed the details (reflections, blood on face).

Who okay-ed that poster? It looks like a love story with dreamy Ryan Gosling staring into forever. Not what comes to mind when I think of Gangster Squad.

I love this movie, but its posters are pretty bad:






First poster looks like a coming-of-age film, second looks like a tropical Devil's Advocate, third looks like a plain old mystery film. They sure have cast their net wide.

I can read this in my head only with a bad German accent converting every W into a V. And it's a better movie for that.

The only reason the mask is off is probably so people can say "Oh my god it's Robert Downey Junior!"

The tagline doesn't do anything for me though. It obviously talks about racism but what's "greatness"? It's too vague.

Because he was in the film?

Every version of this poster I can find cuts off the characters' heads.

The "les" being in red is kinda stupid, but other than that, it looks good.
Meh, this doesn't capture the theme of the film at all. Could have been made by an Enjolras fangirl for all it mattered.
