Even the story sounds drug-induced.
"The President wants a military/scientist named Micheal W. Logan dead, after he discovers the Gateway Arch in St. Louis is actually a portal to the Planet X."

Well poo poo, now I'm disappointed this isn't real. I wanna see the Arch open up like a stargate and start spitting out 50s UFOs all over the midwest.

These should really be for a proper Hitman movie.

That last one is also a 'minimalist' poster for both The Dark Knight and John Wick Chapter 2.

The other Dunkirk movie this year.

This poster made me realize how impressive it is that Veep sorta sneakily assembled the best comedy cast on TV.

Scott followed the naming rule with Prometheus, so I think this is hinting at something.

He does have a stage name, but not as an actor. He's DJ Ansolo.

I always assumed she's Native American instead of Irish-Korean.

I also wouldn't want to be alone with her on a full moon. Or would I?

drat, these posters would have been great if properly executed. Especially the "Kong's head above the clouds" one, such a waste :smith:

Also check out this one:

Both 'Skull Island' and the date stamp take a lot away from the image but it's still pretty neat.
