Wendell posted:That Ishtar poster is pretty hideous with the camel/men somehow floating above the sand and the half-assed gradient used as a sky. I mean, sure, it reflects the film's quality, but that's not exactly praise-worthy! Well yeah, as far as objective standards it's terrible (like the film), but the idea and composition is actually pretty good (unlike the film).

I always liked the teaser posters for the first X-Files movie, especially the green one - black helicopters, mysterious glowing domes in corn fields... The blue one, "Future", is depicting an ice age, which we later learn from the film is actually the past. Red is in Texas, a playground built over top of the aliens' cave - the set piece that bridges past and present. ...then, we have the second film, which came out six years after the series ended. I like the idea in concept, but the bizarre angles of the shadows versus the sole light source (combined with the pretty terrible composites of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) is pretty wonky. It would probably look pretty awesome if it were able to be created purely photographically. Aatrek fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jan 5, 2013 |

DrVenkman posted:My only real issue is that do subway maps have the years printed on them? If not it seems like a clumsy way to establish the time period. As it is though that image would've served as a great teaser poster.

Stare-Out posted:While I'd expect them to keep any news about a third movie pretty hush-hush, is there any indication that this has to do with The X-Files? The only two things connecting this project and anything to do with The X-Files are Carter and... X-Zibit. The last thing I heard was from both Duchovny and Anderson expressing a lot of interest in a third movie but nothing since that. Well, besides the obvious working title and the fact that the listed 'stars' are mostly bit actors, the production company is Ten Thirteen Productions which also produced...well, look at this list: http://www.imdb.com/company/co0078377/ (We should probably take this to another thread)

The Leck posted:Isn't the Warriors set in the future too? Or am I just thinking of 1990: The Bronx Warriors like usual? It's late 70's NY for the Warriors. No allusion to the future. I love the 80's kitsch of how the future will be with gangs and poo poo. What a good time for movies of that nature. Italian science fiction movies were loving great with good ital-disco soundtracks. Check out After the Fall of New York, it's on YouTube. I grew up loving that movie.

tmfool posted:That's a variant. This is the original, and I humbly disagree that it's lazy. But that's neither here nor there. This loving rules. I've wanted a good Warriors poster for years. All I have is a tiny postcard with Ajax and a Baseball Fury on it.

Vintersorg posted:It's late 70's NY for the Warriors. No allusion to the future. Walter Hill had always wanted a "Sometime in the future" subtitle added to the opening of the film, and he did that when he got the Director's Cut made. My guess is that he wanted some sort of anytime like Streets Of Fire.
