The DVD cover for Womb has been revealed. A film where Eva Green has to deal with the complexities of giving birth to a clone of her dead boyfriend Matt Smith.

I'm kind of shocked that they even distributed that posted in the US. I'd have figured that poster hung up in a theater would have lasted all of a day before somebody started complaining.

I thought it was Adrian Brody for a moment there. Probably because it reminds me of scenes from Brodyquest.

I think I'd like this one better if the back plane wasn't flying outside of the frame as well. It looks neat with the first plane, but with the second it looks like they're dogfighting infront of the world's largest picture frame.

More offensive is the idea that they are beating down ME-262s in turning dogfights instead of just blowing them up on the ground or while they were landing.

Wasn't the ME262A the first jet if I remember correctly? Are we to believe he is chasing down a jet with a prop plane? I don't really know planes but that seems silly.

If you can't quite put a finger on why their style looks familiar, they're better known for their MAD Magazine work.

And lastly, somebody who's best know for way different stuff like this:

While they do destroy a few ME-262s, it's not at all how the poster depicts it. Spoilers They're briefed ahead of time that the jets might show up, but even then are unprepared for the massive difference in speed. After a few attempts at chasing them down, they give up the by the books tactics are go for much more dangerous/difficult approaches. It helps that the lead German pilot is a guy they had shamed earlier in the film, who is more interested in getting revenge on these "Africans" than carrying out his mission or safety.

Yes, but they weren't superweapons that most people think they were and the Tuskegee airmen did down a couple in aerial combat. They'd wait until they overshot and lead them.

However, most of the 262s were destroyed on the ground.

Are posters like this still being made? Or are we stuck now with red big letters and white backgrounds for comedies, with bodies assembled together and brushed to Hell in photoshop?

And I don't like the posters for Red Tails. When you talk to me about serious WWII movies, I think of vintage and Saving Private Ryan. Not awesome CGI loving EXTREME airplanes and dubstep.

That's actually Dirch Passer, he's the guy in this gif from Reptilicus, a monster movie in the vein of Godzilla, where he (as was probably mandated by law at the time) has a role as a slapstick janitor who gets shocked by electric eels, etc:

(sorry for the dumb emoticon, only version I could find right now)

Also I just found out Aage did posters for foreign films as well:


I think this is this one The Fiction Makers (it's a The Saint movie anyway)


Lightning Conductor


Carry on... Up the Khyber


Jour de fête, and I guess you could say a subversion of the "view between the legs" poster before that was even a thing (the French poster has the same pose too).

Also those Drucker & Davis posters are great.

The most recent one I can think of right now with a somewhat similar style is this:


But just like with Grindhouse or Saul Bass-style posters, I'll bet there are at least some out there, if only to parody the style.

When I was developing my drawing style back in my teens, they were two artists I shamelessly ripped off was inspired by. Kind of funny that Drucker would draw the poster for a George Lucas movie, then a few years later do the MAD parodies of some other George Lucas movies. Hey, maybe he'll draw 'Red Fails'!

BTW, in that comic book-style Red Tails poster, the pilot looks like he's shooting bullets out of his eyes and smashing his own windscreen.

To draw this out even further- I don't think the movie is trying to be a gritty portrait of the realities of war like SPR, but rather a fun action-adventure.

No, it says something along the lines of "this will be a beautiful end-of-the-world" or "this will be a beautiful world's end."

edit: the latter implies "the end" of a "beautiful world."
