So "Snow White and the Huntsman" comes out this weekend, but aren't there a couple of smaller releases, too? The compositing makes the head look chunky. Oh, it came out in some places already. Let's see what Australia's poster looks like.  Well that's even worse. Isn't there something else coming out this weekend?  No way. Easily one of the worst posters I've ever seen. They didn't even bother to crop anything properly (you can see where someone used the erase tool on every one of those kids since they have pixelated white haloing on all of them).

Here's a teaser poster for the first live-action movie from Zemeckis in twelve years. I like it, even though that image has been done before.

 Hey. Hey! HEY!! You remember "Inception"? Our movie is totally like "Inception"! "Inception"! Remember "Inception"? This is the new "Inception"! "INCEPTION"!  Uh, the printer hosed up again. Ah, hell, let's just send it out like this.

Noxville posted:I don't really get 'Inception' from that poster but it does make me interested in it because I don't know what the gently caress is supposed to be going on there.   I also think they were trying to go a bit for the look of this poster, too:  The trailer makes it look like "They Live" got a bigger budget, and it has some visuals that would seem at home in the third act of "Paprika." The movie doesn't look bad, but it's just that you'd think a smaller production outfit (Roadside Attractions) would try to make a more interesting poster. EDIT: gently caress, beaten on the "They Live" connection. Robert Denby fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Jun 14, 2012 |

ZeeBoi posted:So during halftime at yesterday's football match I had the unpleasant misfortune of seeing a tv ad for Sandler's latest movie and noticed that they actually used tweets as review blurbs. Last week I saw a New York Times ad for "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" that used tweets instead of reviews. Frankly, I'm amazed this isn't something that's caught on, especially for movies dependent on word of mouth.

Bad photoshop time again! I think that's David Duchovny on the left. Why is he leaning awkwardly? Why is his hand locked up? Did they erase a cane from his hand? Also, the large version of this poster is terrifying, especially with the cast portraits:  Starring David Duchovny in "Half-Life 2"!

BARONS DEF CHARGER posted:THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.  Also I just looked up "Up the Sandbox to see what in hell it was about. Wikipedia posted:[...]focuses on Margaret Reynolds, a young New York City wife and mother who, neglected by her husband and bored with her daily existence, slips into increasingly bizarre fantasies that involve, among other things, armed robbery, tribal fertility music, and a terrorist plot to blow up the Statue of Liberty.

The 48fps thing just seems like it should have been used on a much smaller film as an experiment, not just used right out of the gate on a $300+ million franchise. I'm very surprised Warner hasn't done something like what "Avatar" and "TRON Legacy" did; showing 15 minutes of footage for free in theaters to gauge audience interest and see what the response to the 48fps element is. Hell, Christopher Nolan decided to change the sound mix of "The Dark Knight Rises" as far as Bane is concerned because people commented about how difficult he was to understand in the prologue.Dillbag posted:Content: gently caress YEAH (huge) EDIT: Idris Elba. He's been in a couple of major movies like "Thor" and "Prometheus", but he's most known for having a major role on "The Wire", and he's loving amazing in it. v v v Robert Denby fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jul 9, 2012 |

 That's a bad poster, alright, but it's not the main event here. Today's the day you lucky people get to see what Robert De Niro and Robin Williams' faces look like when they come.  Oh, I'm not done yet. IMP Awards has a much bigger version of this poster up. Witness the horror!

I wonder if it'll have voice recognition and say things like "DOUBLE WHAMMY." or "ARMOR PIERCING." the way it did in the Stallone movie. "Dredd" actually has something pretty awesome I'm surprised I haven't seen done before. A clip online showed that some of the 3D effects would 'spill' into the letterboxing of the image. You can see a clip that does that  here .

That long-shelved "Red Dawn" remake has a poster (and a distributor other than MGM strangely enough): What a generic poster. Wonder what the original movie had as its poster?

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Speaking of which, I saw an Atlas Shrugged II teaser that played in between previews, without the MPAA title card. I have never seen that before in my life. Same here. Also, whenever there's text on the screen, it drops to about 12 frames per second and looks like a Flash website ad circa 2003. I laughed very, very hard when I realized what the preview was for, and that a movie coming out in two months is using a trailer that doesn't feature a second of footage from the movie itself within it.

Say you're a studio. You've got a big fall movie, big names, some Oscar potential, and a director with two solid productions under his belt. You've got to come up with a poster that'll put butts into seats. Try harder next time.

Coming this January to the Best Buy $3.99 DVD bargain bin. The most generic action poster in the world, even if it does have Tom Cruise with a big head.  A semi-decent poster that would work a lot better if the title of the movie were on it in some capacity (it's the remake of "Carrie").

Speaking of "The Hangover", I suspect there was recently a pitch meeting that went "We've got a generic kids movie set on Halloween. How do we market it?" Here's a huge version of the center of the poster. It looks like everyone is sitting in front of a rear projection screen.  Here's the original "The Hangover" poster for reference. It uses the same loving tagline.  Oh, and here's the poster that'll be handed out to patrons at the IMAX midnight screenings for "Skyfall":

Y'know, Paramount has had a rough year. What with the distribution rights for Marvel Studios going to Disney, Dreamworks' distribution going with 20th Century Fox, and their biggest picture of 2013 is a massively troubled, delayed production that's gone wildly overbudget. So, how do you grab people's attention to a movie that could make or break your fiscal year?  There isn't an emoticon big enough for this.

Although I'm not big on 3D conversions, it's nice to see that people want to see movies readily available on video on the big screen. Pretty good new "Zero Dark Thirty" poster.  What's funny is the layout made me immediately think of this poster:

Probably a lot cheaper to use just the censored version of the song for both than license the censored one for the green-band trailer, and the uncensored one for the red-band trailer.

Speaking of "Star Trek IV", I think it was in the last thread that someone whipped out this gem: "Star Trek III" didn't do very well in Europe, so someone's bright idea was to market the next one as "The Voyage Home: Star Trek IV"
