Every time I see a poster or trailer for that film that has one of the giants in it, I am repulsed. Note to Brian Singer: that is not a good thing. I know that's what they're going for, but making people disgusted is not an effective strategy to get people into your film.

Vegetable posted:So she brought a gun and knuckle dusters to Spring Break? That gets crazier, man. I could be wrong, but from the trailer I got the impression that the girls are planning a heist so they can afford to go to their Spring Break location. And what kind of person wouldn't want to bring brass knuckles to a heist?

MikeJF posted:I have to question the Pacific Rim tagline, though. "To fight monsters, we created monsters". But usually in stuff like this, that means... monstrous. And they're not really that at all. They're huge, but they're just big robots. Unless they're alive and slightly evil, it seems like a terrible line. I don't know much about the plot, but could that be referring to the pilots? I could see them doing something with that. Regardless, the new tag line is apparently “Go Big, or Go Extinct” according to the WonderCon preview.

boom boom boom posted:Why does this one have a quote on it? What's the point of doing a special edition of a movie if you think it still needs a quote on the cover? Because the cover as-is perfectly represents the film? Out of all of those, that's the one you choose to complain about? It's the only decent one among them, because the cover is essentially a commentary on the editing style of the film.

Der Shovel posted:In Blood Dragon's case, intentionally, though. The whole game is basically trying to be a bad 80s action movie. One of the key design points they had was "terrible script". Yes, literally. No, I meant the actual posters themselves. The game looks amazing, that poster is amateur hour. You can tell what they were going for, but instead of looking like an 80s-style, authentically poorly painted poster it looks like someone hired a 17 year old from Deviant Art who tried their best. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Apr 16, 2013 |

Mister Chief posted:It's an adaptation of the manga so it should be different in a number of key ways so it'll at least be interesting for a viewer familiar with the Korean movie. No, it's not. Just like it never is, even though that's always parroted during remakes. From a test screening: quote:There are only minor changes, with stuff like the prison sequence being longer and some tweaks to the ending. It’s not shot for shot by any means either, so if you see it, you should definitely expect things to be different and to cringe all over again…Much like the original, acts two and three are very sadistic and “wrong.”

Agreed. I think Let Me In is the exception here. It excelled in that while it kept so much of the original film in tact, it used the elements in vastly different ways so at the end of the film you were left with the exact opposite feeling of the original. In the first film you're left warm and hopeful when they leave on the train together, whereas in the remake you're left horrified. It's extremely effective, and it's pretty masterfully done, but for the purposes of the core story that was being told I think the original was more of a success in that regard. Though axleblaze's way of putting it is very elegant.

Feel free to tell me I'm way off base here, because it's quite likely, but while I love a lot about this it just seems so muted and drab compared to the scene in the film. The coloring really doesn't suit the interesting line work and composition. I'm no colorist, but punching up the vibrance and giving the neon and light sources a glow feels like it really helps.  Obviously it's just a quickie mockup, but I think it gets the idea across.

Apes-Ma posted:This is great, but wouldn't Nicolas Ray be a better choice for a director for 50's Drive than John Ford? The problem here is that these associations only fit if you've seen the film. If you haven't, it's just an engine. It's the same problem as the Matrix/battery poster, just not as lovely. But that speaks to a sort of fundamental assumption at the heart of this thread right now: what is the purpose of a film poster? Can it not be anything beyond "a piece of marketing made to sell uninitiated viewers on the film"? Can it also be a piece of art reflecting moments or themes in the film that an already initiated viewer can use to trigger memories of those moments and themes? A lot of these fan posters are very much trying to be the latter, so much so that I would call them "art inspired by the film that happens to have the same dimensions" and not a film poster at all. I see a lot of people in here dismissing a poster for the very reason I did above and I find it strange that we haven't really talked about it. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 21:21 on May 11, 2013 |

MikeJF posted:None of these bother me, but oddly, (Star Trek Into Darkness spoiler) Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan after Ricardo Montalbán does bother me. I suppose because ostensibly due to the premise of how the new films relate to the old he's a recast of the same Khan Montalbán played rather than a reboot. Not to dredge this back up, but rumor has it that there were points in the production where Cumberbatch's character was not Khan and the identity of who he was in the script was in flux. Taking this into context, it makes a lot more sense that they cast somebody who didn't fit the evolving character and tried to create the best story they thought they could rather than rejigger things to fit the actor they had cast.

SuitcoatAvenger posted:Check out this clusterfuck of marketing: that is some Baby's First Photoshop poo poo right there. Don't blame the designer on that. The execution really isn't the issue. That's something that was clearly designed by committee and put unrealistic pressures on the designer due to a whole lot of people not understanding their job and the push-and-pull when it comes to theses things. And that resulted in a whole lot of compromise.

Goatmask posted:Does anyone know if it's possible to buy somewhere the fake documentary posters that appeared at the start of The Life Aquatic? I searched around and couldn't find anything sometime last year. I'm guessing you'll have to wait until the original art goes up for auction to get your hands on it. A shame, because it was amazing art. If you find out otherwise, shoot me a PM.
