I personally like that the Expendables 3 poster looks like a bunch of people standing around laughing about how ridiculous this is, because the less serious that franchise takes itself, the better.

No actually, the more these movies pander and phone it in the worse they are. I feel like this attitude can only exist if you're already contemptuous of these guys and the idea that they could make something good if they wanted to - the people looking forward to a redux of the Chuck Norris jokes in the 2nd one must be going "I want it to waste my time! I don't deserve a good movie!" as they walk into the theater.

Here is the official one sheet for The Expendables 3 which has to be one of the worst posters I've seen in a long time!

I thought it was drawing attention to how Stallone's Statham's kneecap is about 6 inches from his foot. But the cherry-picked shadow decisions are nice too.

Isn't it just the character one-sheets 'shopped into one giant poster?

Yeeeep. It's strange though, the Kelsey Grammer shot isn't worse than any of the others, but something about him feels even more out of place. He almost looks like the result of a "Photoshop Kelsey Grammer wearing a bucket hat into strange situations" thread in GBS.

Honestly Wesley Snipe's giant floating head stands out to me worse than anything else. Is he in front of Arnold? Is he behind him? Did Willy Wonka shrink down Terry Crews and Jason Statham? Did an intern make this poster?

So is this gonna end in that Robot Chicken joke where they talk about "Ocean's 27" or something and spend a good couple minutes just naming various people in the heist while talking about the plan? Like, is the next Expendables gonna be a big wide poster of everyone in Hollywood who could use a quick paycheck?

That poo poo happens. Hell it happened to us today. Dolphin Tale 2 and This Is Where I Leave You switched dates and we debuted TIWILY today and had the wrong date. We managed to correct the interactive ones before going live but our first shipment of one sheets have the wrong date. :shrug:




In theaters that says Sept 12. Total bush league I know.



edit: also every face that looks photoshopped has an annoying publicist. That's my stance and I'm comfortable sticking to it.

So their casting process is basically them brainstorming how many actors and actresses they could possibly fit on a poster and then hiring them all on the spot?

Why are they using the Fast and the Furious Font? It was in the trailer too and I was totally confused at first.

The Escape from New York one is nice and the Night one could be good but the execution is awful. The giant loving conical tree (?) is the first thing my eyes are drawn too.

I haven't actually seen the movie and was wondering if that was some kind of weird zombie pod thing.

The colour thing is an artifact of the printing process they use, so it might just be the same process.
