I've never seen Punch Drunk Love, but that beautiful poster makes me really want to. Are you telling me a hypothetical half-assed minimalist poster depicting an object out of context has more artistic merit and more advertising influence than genuinely good art?

Well it wouldnt be good, but it would be remotely related. I'm just using that to express how non-evocative the tone of this poster is. If it's attracting you, you won't see any of that in the movie.

You should see it. My favorite PTA :)

edit:
I've always loved this image.


edit 2: I think this might be the best poster for Antichrist.

Love the rating description right there in the middle with the title.
e: Though it'd only ever work as a preview poster.

Why do so many old posters put taglines and random words in quotes anyway?

I'd guess they want a line from the movie to be iconic and anticipated for people before they see it, as opposed to a byline.

Chaykin is a total legend. Someone made a nice defense post in a comics thread a few days ago.

... something screams and dies inside me when I see another complaint about how much Howard Chaykin sucks - that started back when his diehard fans Bendis and Fraction invited him to draw some guest-star issues on their Marvel comics. Modern coloring fucks his art up horribly, and, to be honest, he has not upped his game, but he deserves way more credit. Some amazing vintage Chaykin (with Bruzenak lettering on that Shadow page):



(that Star Wars poster is the first thing about the movie the world saw back in the 1976)


Here's something from last year that looks awesome. (Don't mind the speech bubbles. It's a crazy explicit comic.)

Wow. That's from the Amores Peros/21 Grams/Babel guy?

And '89 Batman.
At least with the boxset re releases they still just have the emblem, but it's all made of stone and gritted up. Also, the font is some terrible metallic thing.
I get that they were all packaged together and Batman has a different font to Returns, but looking at the original plain white Batman Returns title right now on it's poster is crashing warm, glorious waves of nostalgia over me.

I saw this a while ago. Nothing about it is vibrant or psychedelic, so I'm not sure why it needs the beaming red beard and dump of yellow. I'd just keep it blue. It's a pretty sombre thing.

A full body shot of this guy in a dirty shirt and sweat pants holding a gun would work pretty well.
Sorta like this Taxi Driver poster. He even has a particular car you could swap in.


Actually, I wonder if selling it as beardy hobo man the movie might not get people disappointing when he spends the vast majority of the film clean cut

A weird grainy picture of a coffee shop? That only plays into the first few minutes of the movie. Bad color choice, bad shot angle, bad bad poster.

Cafe 80's was a major, iconic part of the movie. I just wish it said Cafe 80's on the sign and had images of Ronald Reagan, the Ayatollah and Max Headroom on the TVs instead of T H and E.

e: and the Wild Gunman machine with Elijah Woods and the Pepsi shoots. It's weirdly missing any iconic things.

I just sort of feel that the footage is already out there - it happened, it was documented, it was very real. Any take on it sensationalises it, and maybe I don't mean 'demeans' it but it does kind of demean it - the audio file out there is full of real, tangible, human emotion, a dramatisation or even a derivative work like this just seems surplus to sum human requirements. It's an odd position to take which I wouldn't normally, but something about this kinda bugs me.

I saw a pretty sleazy 70's exploitation retelling (e: the one mentioned above, I think), but viewing it through that lens, just the fact of it being made directly after the event made it super interesting.

This I'm not interested in, even though I loved (all but the end of) House of the Devil. It would've been neat if he actually stepped up and made the real Jim Jones movie in all dead seriousness instead of selling to the same midnight movie crowd.

e: I guess if Eli Roth has to produce, there's most of your tone decided for you.

The problem with this is that as someone who has never read the novel and has little to no idea what gone girl is, aside from the fact that it's a book that 'moms' read, I have no idea what it is for, little what it's about, and no reason to care.

I think it tells you a lot more about the movie than an average teaser poster that might have a giant sad Ben Affleck and something like 'This October get #GONE"

"Amazing Amy" doesn't seem like a person, that's what bothers me about it

That point should be a big part of the movie. Slight spoiler since it isn't covered in the trailer Amy, the missing wife, is famous for being the inspiration for her parents' "Amazing Amy" children's book series.

I wonder if the movie is going to follow the book's POV structure. I hope so.

We're the studio that made Godzilla taller than space. It should be expected.

Not to be a jerk to anyone who worked on the Edge of Tomorrow poster (kinda), but is it generally out of the question to get a really good matte artist in to make something believable to put behind the actors instead of a smoosh of elements?
I'm sure it holds up fine to the passer by, and that's all the budget and time allowed.
