Olympus Fase Allen sounds like a potential title for the new Alan Partridge movie.

What's even funnier is it's painfully obvious how easy it would be to avoid that.

You could literally put the H A S in the center three pillar voids, then leave the other two pillar voids empty for spacing.

I like the bottom half but agree the color is wrong. Anything would be better for this than red.

Red would be cool if the movie was called Mars.

It's on the real poster too. Well, the actual one says "950,000 miles" but who's counting? :v:

If they redid the name and made it a lot more legible I would like this poster quite a bit. The colour scheme is good and the design is pretty cool.

Most of those Near Dark posters are interesting in their own way, but drat, that's a dull Blu-Ray cover.

Raided my local video store a few days ago, and came across this:


Checking it online shows that it had a handful of alternate titles, including Slaughter in San Francisco, which had some interesting posters.
The first one completely misrepresents it.


The second one is truer to the film. Kind of. Except that it shows Chuck Norris as the Karate Cop, replacing the actual actor.


The Canadian(?) title, Yellow Faced Tiger, has the most faithful depiction.

This is probably the shittiest poster. ''Babbys first stock vectors'' all the way.

This is much better. Not only can you read the title now, but the way "HAS" fits in between the columns and sticks out away from the rest of the title creates a sense of depth and shape.

The poster is still pretty bad tough. The red colour and style of the linework on the weapons evokes Soviet, not Korean propaganda. It also doesn't tell you anything about what the movie's story, tone or themes are. It actually looks like the White House is launching an attack, rather than it being taken over.

A website called Talenthouse had a contest to design an Olympus Has Fallen poster and this is the one that won.



Apparently that design was worth $3000.

Honestly, that should be the poster for Saints Row IV. Just color it purple and gold and change the title.

Here is a battle scene from the Asylum move Age of the Hobbits. It is hilariously bad. I've seen the full movie. There are dragons, but they do not breathe fire. Also, I don't remember seeing the guy in the hooded robe (that guy is carrying a steel dagger, and this movie is supposed to be set in the Stone Age). I read somewhere that Warner Bros forced the Asylum to retitle this to "Clash of the Empires", which I think is the first time their business model has been successfully challenged.


Well that's because they tried the specious argument that because scientists nicknamed that prehistoric tribe as "hobbits" that they were allowed to use it. Also I thought they got in trouble for their Battleship knock off for actually using the word "Battleship" in their title.

It's like they were making movies off of a movie exec's to-do list and forgot to change the title.

Movies to produce in 2013:

Fairytale adaptation #8
Miscellaneous horror remake
3D rerelease of Gremlins or something
Fast and Furious 6
Paul Walker vehicle #19
Comic book movie
Michael Bay's Transformers The Musical

In Malaysia (and maybe a few other countries), this is being released in theaters 2 weeks before Fast 6.

The original tagline was really silly.

They probably thought it sounded badass, but instead it sounds like "This is not the car we asked for! Obviously, you are not qualified for this job."

Also, it's apparently trying to one up Live Free or Die Hard. Three cop cars hitting a helicopter!

A parfait is a dessert, but it is also the French word for perfect.
So I decided to punch "good minimalist posters" into Google image search and see if I actually liked any.

I found 3. Out of several hundred.

Somebody who understands the importance of color:


Somebody who understands that minimalism doesn't mean "stuff the picture full of your lovely in-jokes."

No idea what's the first one, the LOTR one is decent but the Drive one is still poo poo. I'm starting to think there's no way to capture the essence of Drive in a poster.

I don't think they ever knew what they wanted to do with the titles. That series has the most inconsistent naming scheme I've ever seen.

The Fast and the Furious

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

They're also in continuity with the director's debut, Better Luck Tomorrow, where the character of Han was first introduced. And that movie came out and was set in 2002, and Han was still in high school in it. So all these movies take place between 2003 at earliest and 2006, or they have, like you said, bumped both of them to taking place way after they were originally set.
