I complained that in the last batch of posters the characters in G.I. Joe all looked the same. Well, in this poster a much better job is done of distinguishing the bad guys from the good guys. The good guys are surrounded by blue flames and background. The bad guys are surrounded by red flames [...]

This poster for A Christmas Carol hits just the perfect balance between seeming like a hundred posters you have seen before and still having enough fresh elements to appear modern. Which is exactly as it should be.
Obviously you can’t have a poster that makes the film seem like something straight from the 80’s. And yet [...]

Poor Donald Faison, not only has Mos Def suddenly become a bigger star than him, the guy also stole his arms!
Tough luck, but are you going to do, right Donald?

Half-Blood prince is going to be the sixth Potter movie. So it’s no surprise that by now they have a marketing formula they think works and is not worth straying from. For the posters this means lots of character posters showing the characters either looking distressed or looking ready to fight back. Apparently it also [...]

The Watchmen poster campaign has mostly kept a coherent visual style and used well the fascinating characters. This poster gets all of those characters together and keeps the same visual style, so I guess I can’t complain about it too much. Still, it’s sort of a dull ending for a campaign that had a great [...]

This weekend I ended up watching a fair chunk of Krull, which reminded me of just how much I liked this one back when I was a child. A truly under appreciated gem of a fantasy movie if you ask me.
The posters, unfortunately, aren’t anything to write home about. Typical and uninspired eighties fair [...]

Two films about fantastic stories that come to life? Oh, it’s on. Although since one film has Adam Sandler and the backing of Disney and the other has Brendan Fraser I’m guessing it won’t be much of a fight.
I do think the design in general and the fantastic [...]

She is human. He is a vampire. They are both made of wax. Should be interesting.

Today we have two sets of character posters.
First, it’s the motley crew from Burn After Reading, appearing in some stylish posters with a light touch. Frances and George sure can open their eyes wide.
All of the BAR posters use the same frame, which strikes em as being at the same time interesting a and [...]
