Such good posters for such a poo poo movie.
Seriously even King acknowledged that the movies were closer to comedy than horror, and the scene depicted in the last poster was pretty much a pure slapstick scene.

It looks like they time traveled to 1998 and found a 14 year old "artist" who is all "Check it out, dudeZ! I just a got a copy of Lightwave 3D off Usenet and I've been messing around with it. Pretty cool, eh!"

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

So what's the deal with the flying houses in that Insurgent trailer? I didn't see the first film, but I was under the impression it was a Hunger Games knock-off instead of Harry Potter/X-Men or whatever. Is there magic/psychic powers in that series or was that supposed to be going on in her head?

Without getting too much into the stupidity behind it, it's basically a VR drug induced trip where you face your fears or something and based on how you solve/overcome the fear you're dumped into whatever group the society divided itself. Why she's going through it again I have no loving clue. In the first movie/book it actually was a relatively big part of the story but aside from blowing your VFX budget I have no loving clue why the story needs to go back to it.

Same, it stands out from other posters, and I really like the composition. It works really well in insuring the guy falling stands out, whilst he is also absolutely dwafted in size by his surroundings.

Good way of showing the David vs Goliath type feel a 'were fighting against a giant all encompassing system' movie should want.

but yeah, first movie in the series looked more than a bit rubbish, so still going to skip this one.

And then Uncle Red (Gary Busey) gives the kid a great present. A customized, souped-up, hot rod wheelchair named the Silver Bullet (it kills werewolves--get it?). The kid takes off at sixty miles per hour, doing wheelies down the highway, and eventually the movie treats us to the extraordinary sight of the local clergyman in his car, trying to run down the kid in the hot rod wheelchair. This is not an image the movies have previously offered us.

Jeez, regardless of it being fan-art or not that's still a pretty big copyright violation, isn't it? He seems to be playing it off like it's just a "oh well" thing but unless he gave them license to use it or signed some contract giving his work over the company in charge of making that boxart would be in deep poo poo.

Deep poo poo meaning "Oh snap, we're sorry. Here's $5000, please go away now." Then he declines, takes them to court, and ends up owing $20,000 in legal fees after a settlement for $2000.

Fanart is itself copyright violation, he has about as much to stand on as the warez groups whose no-CD cracks were "stolen" by the developers for digital re-releases.

Same thing happened to some guy who did a poster for Spike Lee's Oldboy, where the ad agency working on the film lowballed him, he decided not to sell the work to them, so they just stole it anyway. He complained to Spike Lee on Twitter who proceeded to go off on the guy.

Yeah, he has rights, but trying to enforce them is begging for a counter-suit for the initial violation.

I don't believe it's copyright violation on his part unless he stands to profit from it?


I build garage-kit models in my spare time, and that hobby is obviously rife with copyright violation. The funny thing is, people in the kit industry will complain up and down about other people recasting their works because it deprives they, the creator, from making a profit. Which I agree with, as they should stand to profit from their labour. But sculpting and then selling kits of a character some other company or individual owns the rights to? Oh, well, that's completely different. That's fine, ahem *cough*, just fine. Many of the sculptors of unlicensed properties go to silly lengths to "conceal" or protect their works. They'll sculpt something like Wolverine, but then title their kit "Mutant Rage!", or sculpt a Predator and call it "The Alien Hunter". It's doubly silly too since despite all this, there have been very few lawsuits from copyright holders. It's such a small industry (most sculptors might sell 30 castings of a work) that it's obviously not worth the copyright holders time or money to bother. Still, sometimes on a sculpting forum someones posts their own "The Alien Hunter", and when someone posts "Wow, that's a nice Predator!", sometimes people respond with "What? That's not a Predator. It's an Alien Hunter. GET IT, an Alien Hunter!"

It doesn't matter whether or not you make a profit on if it's a violation. Most companies just ignore people that aren't making money off it.

The primary one I go to is The Clubhouse. It's probably the most popular one out there for the garage kit industry. Lots of subforums for works in progress, sculpting and painting technique, and finished work galleries, etc.

You might also want to check out The Replica Prop Forum. That ones more focuses on recreating famous movie props and models. Lots of cool, and expensive, stuff there. You can find almost anything, from Alien Pulse Rifles, to Indiana Jones Fertility Idols, all the way down to replicas of Rick Deckards wallet and all the associated badges, inserts, cred-slips, and ID's that go along with it.
