Jasta posted:The title seems to stand out too much. I just find it a little distracting. I love Emma Stone's pose, though. Posing? She's standing up straight doing nothing in front of the camera.  That would work really well, like Ez said, as the DVD menu. Besides the fact they all look like melting wax it's a pretty stylish poster. VV It's okay dude. Everyone likes Emma Stone's face.

kiimo posted:You would think right? I'm going to say either Penn or Nolte, considering he's on the poster. In Stone's portion, Penn's almost unrecognizable. I had to look at the others to see that there was a motif going on. And Nolte is just small, in the background, and also completely unrecognizable. I had to look at the poster again when someone was talking about him just to see if he was on it.

Context-less, the title "Heat" and the presence of two apparent frying pans makes me think it's a strange, concert movie-esque version of Iron Chef.

It's a really, really lovely idea.

When exactly did fan posters mean taking some obscure part of the film and making that the point of the poster? For Heat, you might as well have a broken TV be the focus of the poster, with a car peeling out in the background. Or Jaws, and make the poster just a closeup of an ugly swimming cap. Or Mad Max, with the poster focusing on a boomerang. Etc etc etc etc etc etc etc........

Far as I can tell, it's a weird, maddening way of circle-jerking the in-group (the aforementioned fans) who have already seen the movie. It's not meant to advertise the movie to get people to see it, it's just to celebrate some obscure-yet-oddly-iconic image embedded deeply in the film, so that film nerds who see the poster at a party will go "Oh, I remember this, other people don't, and that means this is COOL!"

This is exactly it and it is shameful I hate it and I want it to end. The one for A Clockwork Orange is just bizarre, it's just an eye made out of a clock which I guess is relevant to the movie but in such an unappealing way. The There Will be Blood one is so much the worst, there is so much cool icons they could have used (they could have just used the hardcover version of the book cover) but they use such a dumb in joke that even when you've seen the movie the poster leaves no impression on you. piratepilates fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jul 18, 2012 |

I think it just comes down to a cost issue. Even with custom giant vinyl printings, you'd need a ton of them to cover the side of the building and it would cost a fortune. Large-format painters I'm sure command a decent sum as well, but probably just a fraction of a what the multiple printings to make up that size would.

Emma Stone's photoshoot was fantastic. She's very photogenic. Like, every pic was one-sheet-worthy. She looked pretty, coy, sweet and alluring in like every shot. Wish I could share them.

I know theres a bunch of Olly Moss/Mondo poster fans here, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew that they are (finally) doing a timed poster release, so everyone that wants to buy one of these has a chance. It's $40, and you have until midnight EST tonight to order one. As an added incentive, one lucky buyer gets a "golden ticket" inserted with their order, which gives you the ability to commission Olly Moss to design you a poster of anything you want.  It's too bad I don't care much for the movie or poster, otherwise I'd be all over it just for that chance.Go here to buy: http://www.mondotees.com/The_Dark_Knight_Rises_p_535.html

That's assuming in a film like this that Nolte gets likeness approval. That is usually reserved for stars. It is one of the biggest popularity contests in the legal process. Some will get more passes than others too. Like so and so gets likeness approval at 3 passes because they're huge at the moment. They have complete control of their likeness or brand. (think Johnny Depp, although he actually doesn't use them because he's super cool) Often actors and publicists and even agents who help set up the deals think they have likeness approval when they don't. We'll try to help out when we can if they don't like their image but it's pretty funny when at the very last second they call up to yell at us to change everything and you get to say, hey sending that to you was a courtesy but...sorry. Be more famous I guess.

The Heat diner scene is pretty iconic, so using it for the poster isn't a bad idea at all. Boiling Heat down to a gun fight almost sells the movie short. The problem with that poster is that's a terrible design. They look nothing like coffee cups unless you already know they are. A more traditional design utilizing the same scene would work really well.

A more traditional design utilizing the same scene would work really well. I thought they were stove knobs. They are the same knob in design, but they are facing opposite directions. Therefore, the poster is deep and meaningful. Also, something about heat.
