As the existing Black Swan and Piranha 3D movie posters are massively looking most elegant among them.

I wrote a little piece about it on my site. One of those images that made me smile just by looking at it. Not as dark as some of the images here, but totally effective at expressing joy and absurdity.Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-23298399212172388222010-12-28T14:34:15.113-05:002010-12-28T14:34:15.113-05:00Good additions!

* Ja...Good additions! And interesting because ... <br /><br />* <em>Jack Goes Boating</em> nearly made my list. Something about it draws me in. Perhaps I left it off because the trailer for that film -- I didn't see the movie -- annoyed me after repeated viewings. But the poster itself is terrific.<br /><br />* <em>I Am Love</em> and <em>I'm Still Here</em> have a similar look and feel. Meantime, they are posters that I saw on the walls of my local art house that would make me stop to ponder if I liked them or not. I suppose the fact I spent so much time staring at them trying to make that decision says something to their power.<br /><br />* I missed that alternate version for <em>Buried</em>. But I like it.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-79904944909271706732010-12-28T12:55:05.654-05:002010-12-28T12:55:05.654-05:00Just looking through a gallery of this year's ...Just looking through a gallery of this year's posters, most of them are entirely redundant bits of Photoshopping that don't do much to stand out from the crowd. That even goes for some of the movies you showcase here, as the posters you point out are the "alternative" ones that most people don't see at the theaters.<br /><br />With that in mind, I love the ones you chose for <i>Black Swan</i>, <i>The American</i>, and <i>Let Me In</i>. Some other ones that stand out for me would be these:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.impawards.com/2010/i_am_love.html" rel="nofollow">I Am Love</a><br /><a href="http://www.impawards.com/2010/im_still_here.html" rel="nofollow">I'm Still Here</a><br /><a href="http://www.impawards.com/2010/buried_ver3.html" rel="nofollow">Buried</a><br /><a href="http://www.impawards.com/2010/jack_goes_boating.html" rel="nofollow">Jack Goes Boating</a>Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-34097245520703414202010-12-27T13:29:04.345-05:002010-12-27T13:29:04.345-05:00Excellent choices.

I love the <i>Let Me In</i> poster that shows the girl (or boy) lying in a fetal position, isolated in the middle of the image. <i>127 Hours</i> is one of my favorites.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-51476939780105035132010-12-27T10:45:21.076-05:002010-12-27T10:45:21.076-05:00Some of my favorites here, too.

I called that a Steve McQueen movie, and actually the poster is a lot like <a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4160WdETkML._SL500_AA300_.jpg" rel="nofollow">this one</a> for <em>Bullitt</em>.

Those second versions are drastically different from their main ones, at least thematically. <br /><br /> And as far as a linking theme? I'm still scratching my head. Symmetry seems to be common, as well as the angel theme, but if you're hinting at another, more subtle theme, I'm stumped. Great collection, though, and I look forward to keeping up with your work in 2011.James Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318633423894546202noreply@blogger.com
