This is done by the company Mondo, who does really gorgeous posters. Generally they only make poster for older movies but they liked Cabin in the Woods so much that they wanted to make something celebrating it.

Here's a couple more:







I love the style of these, especially the last three. Although it doesn't seem like they are available to buy (http://www.mondotees.com/POSTERS_c_12.html). Not to mention, they are a little out of my price range. :xd:

I like the "Sweet & Sour" poster. Not sure why, it just catches my eye. Perhaps it's her expression.

Blue and orange are my favourite colours, so I doubt that I will ever tire of that motif. That poster, though... Once you see the seat it cannot be unseen. :psyduck:

So, is that the Chrysler Building in his reflection (in sunset?) and behind him (at night?)??

Yeah, it looks like it is. Or some deformed version of the Empire State Building. But I only say that because it is also a pointy building. :xd:

Yeah, I'm also not a fan of heads being cropped off in posters. It's not that it disturbs me, I just don't find it interesting at all. Maybe it's not meant to be anything stylistic but it's kind of lame if it is.

At least it's not like the cropped half-face thing. :xd:

Nolan's TDK had a poster where Batman was staring at a beam and it was one of the biggest grossing movies ever. So the answer is yes, it is still accomplishing it's goal, OR posters are a mostly insignificant marketing tool these days and are mostly used as "reminders", where as trailers, which are commercials for movies, are now getting hyped up all on their own.

I am unsure of the whole business side of posters versus trailers, but I can say that I have a weakness for a good poster. Trailers can be very persuasive for getting me to see a film, yet I cannot hang a trailer on my wall to admire every day.

The radiation tri-foil looks like a scared ghost. Could it be possible to make it both a radiation tri-foil and a skull?

Also, I agree, that tagline is way to loving long.

I was thinking the same thing about the tri-foil. I think it looks good now but I wonder if it can look scarier. Anyway, good job on the poster! You may have already sold me on the film. :3:

Is Danny Dyer more of a British actor? I am Canadian and have never heard of him, but that could just as likely be because his films look like poo poo so I have never watched them.

Now I am really curious what a CSI unit would do in a post apocalyptic world. Obviously someone needs to determine who was killed by a mutant rat and who was killed by a mutant human.

I appreciate what they attempted to do here but man did they gently caress it up.

The movie looks rad though.

I agree. It's a cool idea but at first glance it seems like they were trying way too hard. Maybe it would have worked better if it weren't realistic but some simpler art style. At least then the human eye on the bird might not look as out of place.

This one was a bomb of epic proportions. Despite a budget reported to be about $11 million, Lionsgate unceremoniously dumped it in about 100 theaters over the May 4-6 weekend (probably because their Hunger Games success would let them eat the loss of production costs, or at least made eating the loss more viable financially than throwing another $10-15 toward trailers, TV spots, prints, etc.)

The result? It made about $44k over the weekend nationwide. That's the amount Avengers averaged... per theater.

Well, that makes me feel less like :barf:.

Seriously, I hope whoever green lit this learns from it. Mind you, I haven't seen it but if the posters are any indication of the film I am sure it is atrocious.

He's apparently walking down the barrel of the gun, because he's the size of a thimble. It just looks like he got sick of having that thing pointed at the beginning of every movie so he's decided to take matters into his own hands and take out that bullet once and for all.

I was also wondering why James Bond was walking down the gun barrel. Maybe the movie is in 3D? He's coming right at you!

Guy Pearce looks loving badass. I loved him in Lockout, and have been a fan of his since Momento/The Count of Monte Cristo (one of my favourite films) so I cannot wait to see this. Just for him.

The fact that Gary Oldman is in it is just icing on the cake. :allears:

I want this poster on my wall! I adore this 1920s/art deco style.

The Great Gatsby is possibly my favourite novel. I absolutely love F. Scott Fitzgerald. If the film is even half as beautiful as his prose, I will be happy. :allears:

That was dissappointing. I love the Great Gastby but the movie (judging by the trailer) seems to be all falsh with little substance.

Yeah, that's the feeling I got, too. :(

I also wasn't sure about Leo as Jay and now I am even more unsure after seeing the trailer. I love Leo as an actor, but (as shallow as it is) I don't think he has the face for Jay. Maybe that's just me, though...
