You’ve gotta appreciate new movie posters that try to mix up perspectives (even if it doesn’t always help at the box office), as seen below in Virginia, the directing debut of screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black (Milk, J. Edgar).
American Shepard
Old school rock legend, Neil Young, has signed up new school poster star, Shepard Fairey, to do a whole batch of cover art for his new album, Americana, which kinda reminds me of that classic one-sheet for Terence Malick’s Days of Heaven…
You Sank My Battleship!
Hollywood’s recipe for ruining American childhoods, but gaining International box office success: take a lo-fi 1970’s board game like Battleship (the Pong of board games) and Transformers the shit out of it!
Spider Kong!
For some reason, the new Amazing Spiderman one-sheet is giving me a slicker, tinglier King Kong flashback…
French Superhero Remake?
With the box office behemoth that is The Avengers, I’m sure movie studios are scouring the globe for the next big superhero franchise. How ’bout this vintage French Superman — with original poster work done by that evil design genius, Constantin Belinsky?
The Poster Stylings of Yves Thos
With the unique style of Yves Saint Lauren and the drawing power of Thor, French poster artist, Yves Thos, set cinema lovers’ hearts afire for decades with his memorable renderings of La Dolce Vita and other International classics…(EMP)
Gangs of L.A.
There’s more to vintage Los Angeles than just movie stars and beaches — y’know, like transplanted mobsters, prostitution, and dirty cops!
So get out your tommygun because the new L.A. noir-inspired Gangster Squad is ready to plug a few more holes in the Hollywood sign. (IMP)
Pfeiffer Friday!
Everybody’s talking about the latest re-teaming of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp for their new horror-comedy, Dark Shadows — but what’s also notable about the production is that it marks the big budget return of 90’s screen siren, Michelle Pfeiffer, whose beautiful features and dramatic skills dominated movie screens for years. However, with Shadows, I’m sure her dark side will come out! (IMP)
Scary Houses of Horror!
Now you know why some say it’s better to rent –– especially in this market! (Wrong Side of the Art and ImpAwards)
