@libertas Apocalypse Now's one of my fav work (of any type of craft)
Very much enjoyed the cleaner, extended OST in the redux version :-)

Today we will go 2013, gay and colourful =)

Mark Weaver for Spencer McCall's The Institute / 2013

Revamped Clio Barnard's The Selfish Giant, author unknown / 2013
Inspired on Oscar Wilde's piece... can work as prolog for fantastisch Scrapper

Alain Guiraudie's L'inconnu du Lac by AddressDesign / 2013
Superb artwork, great title and very very interesting film, also literally full of dicks (ohhh)

Guys at Criterion really do give some love =)

@matt_gh2 thanks for having good taste :P

Thanks to all who've contributed here. I love this thread.

@racer5 and the thread loves you :D

I find this one very effective.

@rockroadpix indeeeeeeeeed

Another version, more stylised (doesn't mean better ,-)

Because of 1st of Oct, a gif from ASMODEXIA, such a compendium on framing as sadly on bad acting

Hey, it's October 1st!

I find this one very effective.

@maxr Amazing posters for The Rain People.

maxr

@rockroadpix I love bad-ass grandpas, it is "easy" to be cool at 21 but if you're 93 and you still kicking ass... that's another level of coolness ,-) I'm counting on your link

Another of my favourite posters, dunno know who made the japanese version but gashô

Francis Ford Coppola's The Rain People - 1969
and purple west version with different still

rockroadpix

@maxr - When they finish it, if ever, I'll post a link. He's an incredible little dude. He does 30 push ups every day at the age of 93! Still sharp as a tack.

maxr

@rockroadpix wow, I'd love to hear more of Caroff's stories, he looks like such an interesting character!! Big thanks for sharing =)

So, one of Caroff's

rockroadpix

@maxr - http://nitrous.tv/client/caroff-trailer This is the quick edit they did for trying to get the pilot going. Still can't believe they didn't grade it. :(

@rockroadpix I'd love to see that doc =). The WSS is a classic
Though not in the same genre, it reminded me of the twenty years later AWIL,
this poster version is not the original, but an Olly Moss, who's doing terrific work too ,-)

I shot a doc about Joe Caroff last year and that guy made some of the best...

That one is so nicely beatles :P - Don't know that movie either.
Isn't it funny, spend 250 mill bucks on a production and then the visual wrappers are so... empty?
I guess that the job is just in the "wrong" hands... cause there's plenty of talent out there

This dude Laurent Durieux makes truly AWESOME stuff, just check his rendition of Hitchcock, other classics, or this one

Oh yeah, there's just no substitute for 1970s and (some of) 1980s futurism. The graphic design and maybe even more specifically the typefaces. The homogeny that crept into poster design by even the early 1990s is deplorable.

By this time what people were going to see at the theater was likely defined before ever leaving the house so why should distributors care if the poster is really good anymore. Film marketing became less about word-of-mouth or a catchy poster/box and more about over-saturation in other media.

Here's one for a surprisingly dark, disturbing film:

...I like it because it's weird, I guess, hah-hah.

maxr

ja ja ja we're going back then to the future. Man I wish I've lived in the seventies!!

Logan's Run, 1976 - haven't read the book, but I saw this, I saw this when I was very small... ohhh

Below is a version I also like, most probably inspired by Fassbinder's The world on a wire poster.
I go with my own search/randomness, but recently I found a really fantastic work ('cause they match my selection, ja ja ja, sorry, my inner clown...) on collecting posters, among other things, if you don't already know, check this guys poster of the week, though poster of the weak should be funnier

@maxr

Don't know the Limey film, in check list, but surely is interesting you providing such first hand context...

Definitely check it out. It's a fantastic little film. When I think of Tarrence Stamp he's either this character or General Zod from Superman II. This was back when Soderberg was doing "one for them, one for me" and this was one of the films for him.

That Kill List poster is awesome.

Don't know the Limey film, in check list, but surely is interesting you providing such first hand context. Thanks melting creature :P

I must confess I'm a bit remorseful of my previous entry, the A Nightmare on Elm Street original poster is just too 80's and good =) // actually I'm changing it for the one you liked, then I can feel less bad (these tight editing deadlines mr Kiselev has forward, I like them, rushhh) // I shut up, now

Here's one from a film I really liked, dark

Kill List, 2011 - poster by Iron Jaiden, the original is also superb, but this had more dialog with Limey one ,-)

Back when this came out I was working at Centropolis FX which shared the same building as Artisan Entertainment, in the MTV building in Santa Monica, CA. They had a huge poster of The Limey for the longest time in their lobby. Artisan was the real deal, for independents, before getting bought by Lions Gate. LG still puts out indies but if you look at the filmography before the buyout you see a major difference in content. This was one of my favorites, and one of my favorite Soderberg movies.

That Limey poster is killer!

I like Option C the most of those but the original has always been one of my favorite horror posters. Back when they used to do sweet paintings for posters and VHS covers.

Howdy, Stranger!
