― ...out of that weakness, out of that envy, out of that fear.. (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 14 February 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link
Has anyone started making fanart of these for new movies?
I mean, I'm not crazy about stuff like this example, but I would be curious to see what someone else could come up with:

borderline with "just any old illustration" but I think the explosions crammed into the still life at bottom left put it over. Wondering based on this one: was there a wave of The Sting ripoffs equivalent to the Smokey & the Bandit influence discussed above?

Not quite selling the madcap sexy humor, probably because it looks like Kate Jackson is about to stab Elliott Gould in the ear.

Bugsy Malone is kinda too nice / ordered for the thread, but I'm glad it's here

Could be busier or more caricatured, but bonus points for being totally fucking unappealing and giving you no idea what the movie will be about (note, i also thought it said "Inside Mars" at first, which REALLY through me off).

Marvel commissioned one in this style for the new Captain America movie:

Needs more caricature, or at least, would be awesome if they'd commissioned a poster depicting their serious superhero drama as a vaguely racy patriotic chase across the USA. Also, oh shit, the Falcon is in this movie?!
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 14:06 (ten years ago) link
Was thinking last night though about the observation that these type of posters size down badly for VHS boxes and soundtrack albums on cassette, which I do think is pretty convincing - but man, with today's super giant size ad campaigns (images the size of a whole building! Two billboards that have to be seen from the right POV to correctly display as one image!) you could really see a revival of these. Fuck, even moderately large posters (like some of the really wide subway platform ones) could do wonders with this style. Right now they look like banner ads printed really big - there's nothing to hold your attention beyond the commanding stare of the star as cult object.

Redford's likelness on that cap'n america poster is giving me heavy Three Days of the Condor vibes
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 14:25 (ten years ago) link
That Winter Soldier poster is great - really fits the deliberately 70s-paranoia feeling of the movie (and makes the Three Days of the Condor vibe even more appropriate). Also lol at BATROC ZE LEEPAIR making it to a movie poster in 2014. You finally made it, you crazy French acrobat-assassin!

Did the Soviets ever go for this? I've seen all those great, trippy art posters for familiar Western blockbusters, would have been awesome if they were also turning our dramas into capers and our bloodbaths into mud wrestling goofs.

I feel like a lot of non-Casavettes Peter Falk films could fit here, but surfing Wiki, I only really found this other one. It's not even actually *that* busy, but it still feels cluttered by contemporary standards (plus, caricatures).

I can imagine a A Woman Under The Influence poster with characters running amok around the center of a caricatured Gena Rowlands.

there doesn't appear to be a screenwriting credit for Hollywood Hot Tubs, imagine that.

think Lesley Halliwell once described the Carry On movie scripts as "'remembered' rather than written"
― Daphnis Celesta, Tuesday, 15 July 2014 21:03 (ten years ago) link
A teenager gets in trouble for vandalizing the Hollywood sign and goes to work for his uncle's hot tub repair business rather than go to prison. The nephew falls in love with a secretary at his uncle's company, but risks losing her when caught in compromising situations while performing his duties as a hot tub repairman.
I mean, a film like this practically writes itself!
