Les French Faulkners
William Faulkner was a Nobel Prize-winning Southern writer who wrote movies purely for the money — and it showed as Hollywood bastardized most of the film adaptations of his literary masterpieces. But at least a few of the French movie poster artists got it right, including Boris Grinsson, who did the artwork on The Sound and The Fury below.

Remake Monday: Alfie
What’s it all about, Alfie? It’s hard to believe that at one point in time Michael Caine was a heartthrob on par to this generation’s Jude Law.

RIP: Frank Frazetta (1928-2010)
Sad day for the poster world. Fantastic fantasy art illustrator, Frank Frazetta, died today at the age of 82.
Let’s hope he made up with his son, Frank Frazetta Jr., who reportedly tried breaking into dad’s museum last year with a backhoe.
Remake Monday
From now on, every Monday I’m going to feature posters from remakes — so let’s get to work and start with the movie that recharged the Mini, The Italian Job (1969) vs. The Italian Job (2003).
