Teaser Posters for The Wolverine and Stoker

The boundaries of design are converging. Movie posters are looking more and more like book covers and art pieces.  

Wolverine takes its cue from traditional oriental paintings. The Japanese-inspired insignia in the lower left corner is clever and the red/black contrast is perfect.  

Stoker is all whimsy. Fine details abound, enclosing Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska like a black wreath. It's so organic you wouldn't notice the numerous plot clues jammed in the poster: a black coffin, a spade, a grand piano, a spider. a skull, and God knows what else. It doesn't look like a movie poster and that makes it all the more memorable. If Tim Burton and Björk had a love child, this is how it would look like. 

Essential Posters: 69th Venice Film Festival

La cinquiéme saison is from another planet. If this poster is a person, it would be Björk.

Bella addormentata (above) steers clear of conventions by doing away with people. Viewed from the ground up, we're given a whole new perspective of how beautiful and eerie nature is..

Izmena (above) shows us a woman giving in to lust and adultery. This movie is going to be hot and sinful, and by the looks of it, tragic.  

Posters: The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Rain, crumbling buildings and dark skies figure prominently in the somber posters designed by Ignition Print. One of the posters feature a cocksure Bane walking away from what looks like the grizzly remains of Bruce Wayne. 

With that thick, impenetrable mask, Anne Hathaway (Selina Kyle/Catwoman) is the ultimate feline enigma. 

Posters: G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

G.I. Joe returns four years after Rise of Cobra (2009), this time, with a new director (Jon M. Chu) and new characters. Joining Duke (Channing Tatum), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) are Flint (D.J. Cotrona), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and Jinx (Elodie Yung). Except for the fiery something at the bottom, the teaser posters by BLT Communications are tremendous. Storm Shadow and Jinx are so hot they are in a perpetual state of combustion. 

Posters: The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

BLT Communications made the posters for Spider-Man (2012). Previous designs include The Avengers (2012) and Thor (2011).

Andrew Garfield doesn't look too good in Spandex as Tobey Maguire, but his spanking, ultramodern tights more than makes up for his lanky frame. 

Streamlined with a smooth, aerodynamic sheen, Peter Parker's new get-up is so glossy flies will slide down on contact.

Can't beat those details on Spidey's hands... the gynormous spider in the background takes the cake, though.

Essential Movie Posters: August 2011

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Tag line "Evolution becomes revolution" Designed by Art Machine Why it matters Clever use of light and shadows. Intense. What the poster is trying to tell us It's going to be dark. It's going to be serious. Prepare to go ape-shit.

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy

Tag line "A comedy about old friends in new positions" Designed by cold open Why it matters It doesn't have an overblown face in it. Why? Because none of the cast are Hollywood crowd-drawers, that's why. What the poster is trying to tell us Expect sex. Lots of sex.

Griff the Invisible

Tag line "He's a dreamer... stuck in the real world." Designed by cold open Why it matters Clever twist on the superhero, dual identity schtick; shows how the real intersects with the unreal in a flat, two-dimensional world What the poster is trying to tell us The dude's a schizo.

One Day

Tag line "Twenty years. Two people..." Designed by Mojo Why it matters Uncanny sense of urgency. Fleeting and temporal, as if everything will change in a nano second What the poster is trying to tell us PDA is making a comeback. Word.
