Is a poster that's so awful that it's getting publicly mocked still accomplishing it's goal of drawing an audience? I know when I see an awful photoshop hackjob it doesn't make me want to see the film.
99% of the audience neither notices nor cares. Much like the audience for your posting.

A Killer 7 film with that cast would rule because Tom Waits would be perfect as Harman Smith.

I imagine that these contracts which have such specific stipulations about elements on a piece of advertisement is mostly why this thread exists.

Well, partly. It's also because the studios and distributors will micromanage the advertising because they can, and so you get the "Rasta-fy him by 20%" factor.

Plus things like billing and ad prominence are common in contracts because they're small and easily tradable. Instead of paying the star 20 million, the studio can pay him 15 million plus points off the back end plus your name is above the title plus you get the bigger Gulfstream and all the Gummi Bears you can eat, and all these things cost the studio less. (Unless the star really loves him some Gummi Bears.)

It's a fantastic movie that gets better with every viewing. The bomb scenes are still in, I'm pretty sure they just never bothered to give it a theatrical release at all. The whole climax of the movie is about getting a nuke on a plane so it would've been impossible to edit around.

I like New Girl well enough that I catch it on Hulu if I miss it, and I had no idea that was Zoey Deschanel there. I guess she had a different thing going on ten years ago.

It definitely got a theatrical release (at least in the US), but it was dumped with very little marketing around seven months after its original release date.

Pretty sure that's been a trend as long as there have been movies about sea monsters, though. The reason you go to see a movie about a sea monster is for sea monster carnage and inevitable tit shot.

It's a Phallic thing. The trauma of the rape scenario made market-friendly.

It's for the same reason the sea is always seen as a feminine space in fiction (expansive, formless, transgressive). This is why Piranhaconda is the poster's subject - the protagonist. By watching this movie, we are Piranhaconda.

I've actually been meaning to watch this someday. The previews were interesting enough, but it's a shame that everything changed on 9/11 to keep it out of theaters.

I swear I've seen that same woman on the Piranha 3D poster. Or am I confusing this with yet another movie that ripped off that poster.

I really like that poster. That poster says: It's Chernobyl. It's a horror movie. It's stupid but fun.

Am I right so far? I really have no idea what the movie actually is about, but that's what I get from the poster.

The radiation tri-foil looks like a scared ghost. Could it be possible to make it both a radiation tri-foil and a skull?

Also, I agree, that tagline is way to loving long.

I was thinking the same thing about the tri-foil. I think it looks good now but I wonder if it can look scarier. Anyway, good job on the poster! You may have already sold me on the film. :3:

Thanks, we did that too. I saw Cabin in the Woods but purposefully stayed outside until right before it started to avoid our trailer. I've seen it enough.

I haven't seen The Hills Have Eyes though.

I feel like this term has become nearly too blurry to even be used any more. It is kind of like calling Modern Family or The Office a faux documentary because they use OTFs.

So I guess they answer is yes but it isn't tied to the rules on that. By the way if you see this and hate it I apologize in advance.

Well, The Office used to be a faux documentary but that angle was dropped long ago and now the cameras are so omnipresent it's more a taped comedy that allows 4th wall breaking.
