kiimo, how much power do you have over these posters you make? That hand drawn poster for "Only the young" made me think of movie posters featuring Louis Wain's cat pictures from his schizophrenia phase. Could you maybe make that happen?

I can think of Thor, and Evil Dead off the top of my head, but I know there's more. Melancholia did, but only for the Russian poster. I know there are several more out there, but I can't remember them.

Isn't the social network poster based on someone's else's art style who has been around for decades? Michael Clayton had it beat anyway.

If I had to put a percentage on my level of power in actual decision-making in regards to what goes on a poster I'd say somewhere around 7% tops. But hey if you want to post a link I'll pass it around. Because all I know of Louis Wain's schizophrenia cat phase is that it was somebody's (Ellis D?) avatar.

DEAD MAN'S SHOE posted:Jenny Holzer or Barbara Kruger, take your pick It's nitpicky, but it's Barbara Kruger. Jenny Holzer does more installation work where she projects phrases and silkscreening declassified documents on torture and the Iraq War. Kruger is the one woman that examines the relationship between imagery and text. I've posted her work in relation to the poster trend so many times now that it probably needs to be in the OP, along with the "blue and orange" color scheme.

Here's the international poster for Les Miserables: It's a boring heads in the clouds poster. You've got your blockbuster megastars and a love story. I don't think they're convinced the Les Miserables name will sell the film internationally. The one with young Cosette is my favourite:  The tagline isn't doing it for me though. Could apply to about a million other epics. Vegetable fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Dec 8, 2012 |

You could literally make the tag line "I dreamed a dream..." with that Cossette image, and you'd be set. Everyone knows that title, everyone knows that song (thanks, Susan Boyle!), and I imagine a lot of people know that image (the original version, at least). Spend some money on television advertising for your plot points, and you've at least got the U.S. market sewn up. Edit: Technologic

In those one trailers for Les Mis, the tagline is "The Dream Lives." I mean, you think that everyone has heard that song. And then I was like, well, okay, so not the people who wrote that tagline.

Spend some money on television advertising for your plot points, and you've at least got the U.S. market sewn up. They might have not have used 'I dreamed a dream' for the Cosette image simply because that one in particular is aimed at people who know the musical and using Fantine's song and Cosette's image would bug the crap out of them. That's probably more thought than put into it, though. Are those character posters linked before all of them? I'm surprised there's no Eponine 'On My Own', that song and 'Do You Hear The People Sing?' are the other really commonly known ones. That and they really could have had better lyrics-based taglines for Javert and Valjean. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Dec 9, 2012 |

I love musicals, but my experience has been that Les Mis fans are like the Trekkies of the musical world; kinda scary and cultish.

casa de mi padre posted:This poster came up on my Kindle Fire HD (who says ads on the lock screen are a bad thing?) and made me immediately check out the trailer, which got me incredibly excited for the movie. And I know nothing about Les Miz and I generally dislike musicals. They did a hell of a job marketing this. Well, that imagery used in that poster has had the benefit of having proven over time; it's a real-life arrangement of the one image out of all the illustrations in the 1886 print that's filtered down over the years as the most evocative and become emblematic of the story, so it's kind of benefiting of survival of the fittest in terms of how striking it is.

I suppose most of its fans are hardcore musical geeks, but they don't seem to be as bad as Wicked fans from what I've gathered. The praise is rightfully due. It's a great production.
