To contribute to the thread here is a great scrolling gallery of minimal movie posters. (From the aptly named Minimal Movie Posters tumblr.)

This trend of minimalist movie poster design has worn out its stay. A lot of those come off as either pretentiously witty or Olly Moss rip offs.

[edit] To contribute, I'm heavily partial towards Drew Struzan's select posters he did for Blade Runner, Hellboy, Star Wars, Back to the Future, and Indiana Jones. They're not so much movie posters as they are timeliness pieces of art.




While it's been argued among me and my designer friends that this (and other Struzan posters) does fall victim to floating heads syndrome... the general composition, Struzan's signature style, and sweet use of color makes this look more iconic when compared to poster comps hastily created with rendered out photos in Photoshop.

As per my previous post, I like illustrated posters and minimalist posters (done right). Mondo's collective of posters from various artists are loving awesome in that regard. Saw someone post the My Neighbor Totoro variants from Olly Moss, but really, Mondo's whole archive of movie posters is pretty drat great. [link]

Some of my favorites are from Tyler Stout and Olly Moss:

I'm sure having the man of steel wear chainmail armour is quite important and symbolic in the movie but good god does it look stupid.

Skyfall was by far the prettiest Bond movie. I like watching it simply because the aesthetic is gorgeous. Casino Royale is my favorite of Craig's run though. Mads Mikkelsen makes a great villain.

His Batkid poster didn't look as good as his previous work either. Maybe he's losing his touch? Still, I think that D23 poster is fine, definitely not his best, but it's still awesome to see something Struzan illustrated for The Force Awakens.

e: or maybe it's not, although why would you have a Struzan poster and not have it be the theatrical one, and if he's doing another one why would you have someone at his age make a poster for what is an overblown shareholder's meeting

Struzan has made a bunch of alternate posters for Star Wars films in the past. It was just a nice little giveaway at the expo for the turbo nerds.

Much like Zach Snyder there's a real niche for guys who can stretch a special effects budget to its limit and frame a shot to boot.

Unfortunately these guys keep thinking that means they can shortcut the writing process.

If you liked Blomkamp's other movies then yes, most definitely. I liked Chappie, but it's not as polished at District 9. Elysium is the worst of his three films imo.
