We Need To Talk To Roman Polanski

With awards season in full swing, I think We Need To Talk About Kevin has won the Oscar for Most Variations of One-Sheet Designs.

And the marketing dept might be running out of ideas since this latest poster bears a striking resonance to Polanski’s baby Rosemary’s Baby. (ImpAwards)

Girls Riding In Cars With Boys

Up In Arms!

The new bullet-laden teaser for Baytown Disco is not the first movie poster to show off its firepower — as seen below by the 2005 one-sheet for Lord of War and the classic 1960s shoot-’em-up film, The Professionals, with posters from American artist, Howard Terpning, and the French version by Jean Mascii.

And let’s not forget everybody’s all-time favorite pointillist, Georges Seurat.
