I swear the UK trailer I saw said "Spy versus spy". Either I'm misremembering or it was probably changed for legal reasons.

Canade here, and I remember the trailer saying "Spy versus spy" too but it was like a tagline, not the name of the film.

It's odd to me that the statue in the poster isn't the Statue of Liberty. Can anyone ID what it actually is?

He's looking at that statue in the dumb loving trailer. I have no idea what it is, but he acts like it's the second coming.

He may as well be married to Depp too. I like both Carter and Depp but this poo poo is ridiculous.

I swear Tim Burton's ultimate family is to film two hours of Johnny Depp loving his wife on a curly mountain while Danny Elfman scores it in the corner.

It was not, it was done by another team.

However this film is based on a long-running British soap opera that Depp is a huge fan of.

I haven't seen it but I hear it is pretty good and has a distinct campy tone and that is what they're trying to get across.

I've seen it and I'm into the movie when I watch the trailer. I think it's giving me Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks! vibes, which is a good thing. However, those posters are pretty awful and clearly a product of the Alice/Chocolate Factory era Burton.

I don't know what this means. There are hundreds and hundreds of different comps and many many directions that they go, then meeting after meeting happens and the production team along with the executives choose which direction they want to go and then they cut and paste and spice and dice.

If there is any connection to those films it is probably due to the taste of the filmmakers, not any kind of direct correlation to past films.

That's what I mean though. They look like the recent taste of the filmmaker and it makes sense to make them look like that--Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland both made a lot of money. Unfortunately they both suck, and so do those posters. They have the bright hair/pale face thing going on that Depp had in Alice, but for all of the characters. Unless they're going for some '70s pop-art vibe, but even then it comes off as pretty garish.

Of course Burton didn't design the posters, but I'd be surprised if he didn't have any approval over them.

Even if he didn't, they're created with the knowledge that Burton has an image and an audience that they want to sell this film to. In my opinion, the posters look like they're very much in the vein of current-Burton, which to me is a bad thing. The trailer gives me early-Burton vibes, which is why I like it.

PS, Rian Johnson director? I am totally on board, Brick and Brothers Bloom were great.

Shane Carruth, the director/writer/etc. of Primer, was a technical consultant on the film too. So, like, quadruple on board.


Dissapointed Owl posted:

And is that supposed to be Joseph Gordon Levitt?

And why are they all angular like a Max Payne character?

The makeup or prosthetics they're using to make JGL look more Willis-y is probably contributing to that. I just hope it looks good when filmed. The photos make it look a little 'eh'.

First off, yeah, I don't think the designers of that poster understand how the female body is built. Second thing...isn't Channing Tatum in this movie? That's the second major poster I've seen without him in it.

He's in it, but it doesn't look like he's a main character. In fact, it looks like he gets killed off early(or at least taken out of commission)

Man, I'm not getting any of that at all. Of course it's all flash and style: they're setting up their vision and their world. It's the first trailer, so I don't expect a whole hell of a lot of substance or plot(and we did get some in the back-half of the trailer).

Also, I'm definitely a Leo fan, so I'm not worried about him at all. He, Mulligan, Maguire and Edgerton are half the reason why I'm so excited for this.

Ha thanks, but more accurate to say they're photoshopped well. It is from a photoshoot but yeah, they're touched up. See if you can spot where!

Something about Zach Galifianakis' cheek/neck looks a little off, if I had to guess a single part, but really can't find anything that looks 'obviously' photoshopped.

Was right about to post that. I'm friends with the movie's creators and I really wanted to like that poster, but they should've went with an actual VHS tape instead of the almost 8-bit looking skull.

Yeah, I like the concept but, you're right, the 8-bit aspect of it makes the skull look too cartoony.

I loved that poster they had for its festival appearance. Just white poster board with a VHS taped to it and V/H/S sharpied above it.

Whoa whoa whoa. I think he looked absolutely amazing in the trailers. That poster? Not so much. But he looks like he's literally embodying Bruce Willis in the trailers, and the makeup looks seamless.

Yeah, I'm agreeing with this. He's a really great actor and the trailer took some getting to used to, but now I love that makeup. Agreed that he looks extremely un-JGL/Willis in that poster though.

I really, really liked the teaser for Retribution but I can't bring myself to watch it until 2 years from now when it's on FX, and I'm cleaning up or something.

I haven't seen a Resident Evil movie since the second one(maybe some of the third) but the Retribution trailer looks kind of interesting. Oded Fehr, Michelle Rodriguez and Colin Salmon being in it again is kind of cool

But basically what you said: It's a watch on TV kinda movie, or catch it when a friend's watching it.

If he moved the title over to the right side, like it's on the left in relation to Pitt it would be fine.

Yeah, but then the name "Brad Pitt" would be on the far right and that would look really weird so they could centre it or blah blah blah. They consider all these things and the fact that Pitt was flipped isn't the bad part of that poster at all.
