Cloverfieldwas a touchstone moment in film marketing campaigns. Rather than release a trailer that stated explicitly what the movie was about, the public was given only bits and pieces of information, virally building up the film through websites, photos, and enigmatic clues. The trailer was camcorder footage of a party, interrupted by loud rumbles...
It looked like a Sears photo studio shot gone horribly wrong. The image of Steve Carell, his face shining with optimism and his hairstyle reminiscent of 1970s elementary school, is so simple, but captures the crux of this comedy perfectly. He lookslike how one would imagine a 40-year-old virgin, so there are literally no surprises going in.
Deceptively simple, the image of an astronaut standing in front of a series of concentric circles representing the moon. But as you look the circles start waving, an optical illusion behind the main character, a sense that something isn't right despite its normal appearance, echoing the events of the film.
This particular poster, one of many leading up to the release of the film, is particularly striking. In it, only the Joker’s hands, the writing and the crooked smile are crisp. Everything else is a blur, a mystery. It's the perfect introduction to Heath Ledger's Joker, a take on the character whose hands manipulate the events of the film while the ...
A little background: a grindhouse is a term for a theatre that primarily shows low-budget horror, splatter and exploitation films (the grindhouse genre of cinema), often running multiple features for a single admission. Grindhouse, the film, is a loving tribute to the grindhouse genre, with two separate features: Planet Terror from director Robert ...
The poster for this black comedy film is the image of two stick men, one with an American tie and the other with a Union Jack tie, linked by two cups and a string that’s knotted in the middle. It is a spot-on reveal of the film’s satirical examination of Anglo-American communications.
Warning: despite the name, Funny Games is not in any way a comedy. At all. This shouldn't come as a surprise if you look at the poster itself. It's a close-up of Naomi Watts’ face, tears running down from her eyes, but otherwise haunting and vacant. The font of the title is unassuming: a plain, capitalized sans-serif that gives no clues to the natu...
Another movie that had a number of different promotional posters, this specific one is most interesting. It's a closeup of a man on a wire, the one referred to in the title, walking between two buildings on a tightrope. Most know the tightrope is strung across the World Trade Centre buildings, but the buildings are not clearly shown. Instead, the p...
A photo taken of the Golden Gate Bridge from the top of one tower, scanning across to the second tower and San Francisco be hind it. Chillingly, however, the road across and the bay beneath are covered in a dense fog, mirroring the unknown in the film. Where is the killer? Who is the killer? How far do you dive in before you lose yourself?
Yet another film that had multiple poster releases, with one that stands out from the others. It's a close up of a hand, holding a bloody knife which has run through a Nazi flag. It gives all you need to know about Inglorious Basterdsgoing in. It will be fierce, and violent, and no one remains unscathed.
