I think I can outsource my thought on this one. Peter notices the resemblance between this and the posters for 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Meanwhile, Eric asks the question that is on my mind.
The Dark Knight
Yes, it’s yet another poster for The Dark Knight. I have to admit, even I can’t muster much […]

The Dark Knight, now in outdoor format! I don’t have anything of substance left to say about the TDK campaign, so I’ll just throw a few observations at you.
This is sort of a continuation of that first poster featuring Batman, isn’t it? Instead of seeing him just watching the town we see him preparing to […]

Yes, that’s right, more posters for The Dark Knight. Too much? Perhaps, but at least it’s too much of a good thing.
The first new poster can be seen above, and it showcases Batman in his Batcycle. Like the poster from last week the idea seems to be to show that the movie has lots of […]

Comments (7)If I was to make a list of the 10 summer films most likely to be box office disappointments I think Wanted would easily secure a spot. Nothing I have seen from the marketing for this film so far has made it look like more than a generic action film featuring guns and Angelina Jolie. […]

There were only a couple of things I didn’t like about Batman Begins. Unfortunately the posters were one of them. Those dull, brown posters.
The Dark Knight is doing much, much better poster-wise. In part because they substituted the brown with a cool blue tone. But more importantly because they have shown tons of creativity in […]

So, first things first. This poster for Hellboy, drawn by the legendary Drew Struzan, was made exclusively for the New York Comic Con. So it’s a “for the geeks only” kind of thing, and the final poster is probably going to be very different. Which is too bad, because this is pretty great and I […]

Ok, now this is a teaser poster.
As you might recall I was a little surprised with the first few Spirit posters because they were visually underwhelming and I was expecting something stunning, like the kind of thing we got from 300 and Sin City. Not that the posters were bad exactly, but they did use […]

And just because I said nothing new was happening, IGN brings us a poster for The Hulk.
Over at Slashfilm Hunter Stephenson says that he likes the poster but thinks it is not good enough considering that this is the second go around for The Hulk. I think I’m less positive about the poster than he […]

Over the last few years we had two films, Sin City and 300, sold largely on some stunning imagery which was deeply based on the works of Frank Miller. Both marketing efforts were a success (300 much more so, but still) so I think there was never any question that the posters […]
