Poster Review - January 2014


As Sundance starts to slow down, some of its selected films have publicly released their poster art, along with some (un)fortunate ones from Hollywood:




Zach Braff snatched $3 million out of his fans' wallets to cover his production costs, and this is the poster that was paid to be made. Oh how kooky, that little kid is carrying a drill! And a purple wig? What zaniness. This tells me nothing, nothing about this stupid project.




Oh my god, what happened to Elizabeth Banks' face?! Unless you are blind, it's pretty clear that she was photoshopped on to the bench, as evident by the unnatural body positioning and her near tendon-tearing legs. Also, how is this supposed to be a shameful appearance of the character?




This IMAX exclusive poster would be striking if not for the fact that it appears to be from the viewpoint of a Terminator. Nice job spoiling the re-use of the Prime Directives.




Designed by Rivers Cuomo.




Displayed to all viewers at the end of Catching Fire, this teaser for Part 1 (ugh) of Mockingjay is a cool rallying cry for injustice.




The tagline may nicely match up with the image but that doesn't excuse this putrid creation. Also, considering the downward spiral of the two horror franchises, that producer of Paranormal Activity and Insidious credit has to go.




Well, this is a pleasant turnaround for Focus Features. Simple, effective, and pretty brave to pull off.
