Swan Look…
Roman Coppola has a new film coming out — with a set of unique character posters…(IMP)
The Django Chain
Nobody does character posters better than Quentin Tarantino, as seen here for the upcoming Django Unchained — although, much like his films, this marketing ploy has been “borrowed” so much from other studios/filmmakers that it’s hard to remember that he was the one who reinvigorated the concept.
Batman Girls and Villains…
Engaging Apatow…
With this weekend’s Five Year Engagement, it looks like Judd Apatow’s eight year winning streak at the box office will continue as the prolific comedy director-producer of raunch’n'romance has been the life of the party ever since 2004′s Anchorman…(ImpAwards)
Presidents’ Day Poster Bash!
Today in the USA is Presidents Day (aka first President George Washington’s birthday), a federal holiday for Americans to celebrate their Presidential history, as well as a much-welcomed Monday off for some offices and their worker bees…(ImpAwards)

Ready For Their Chuck Close-Up?
The trendy new Men In Black posters were undoubtedly inspired from old school modernist painter, Chuck Close’s old school methods of Pointillism…(ImpAwards)
And let’s not forget everybody’s all-time favorite pointillist, Georges Seurat.
Carnage Knowledge
Roman Polanski’s new movie-based-on-a-play, Carnage, seems to have a lot in common with some of those foursome films of the 1970′s — Carnal Knowledge and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice — except without the sex!
Bad Dads.
From now until November 22, the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco is presenting an art show-based-on-a-film(s) called Bad Dads: A Tribute to the Films of Wes Anderson, featuring one of my personal faves, The Royal Tenenbaums…
Timeless?

The Michael Caine Mutiny!
So how’s your Michael Caine impersonation? Here’s Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s funny takes of the famous actor from their new road movie, The Trip! (Btw, the classic UK quad poster below of Get Carter was done by UK/Italian design great, Arnaldo Putzu.)
Tarantino Meets Django!
What do you know? Just last week, we featured the beautiful Italian movie posters by Symeoni and Gasparri from the 1960s spaghetti western, Django — and now comes word that Quentin Tarantino has just finished his latest script, Django Unchained, which will surely be a bloody, modern Southern-ized update on the much-heralded, though little-seen classic…

They’ve Got Personality!
Back in the mid-1940′s, Paramount hired Roger Soubie to do a series of French Personality Posters to promote its stars in Europe, most notably Veronica Lake, Fred MacMurray, Dorothy Lamour, and Ray Milland.
And if any movie studio needed someone that could highlight the beauty, radiance, and charm of its “product” — it’s apparent that Soubie was the right artist for the job.
I’m There!
Character posters flashback from the Dylan biopic, I’m Not There…
Expendable Characters
Only time will tell if these character posters are truly expendable. But I wonder if Sly came up with the title for his new movie while reciting lines from his old Rambo movies.
