I thought we had a thread on movie art? Anyway, a few art pieces
have drifted across my desk of late. Just very cool stuff...
The very eye catching and retro one sheet...

[glow=red,2,300]Artwork for Marvel’s AVENGERS ASSEMBLED Blu-ray
Set Revealed; Great Individual Covers for Each Film by Matthew
Ferguson[/glow]
[quote]Last month, Marvel announced that they’ll be releasing a
10-disc, six-movie Blu-ray collector’s set called Marvel
Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled. The
ginormous set will include all of Marvel’s films up through The
Avengers, as well as loads of special features. Now Marvel has
released some truly gorgeous box art for the set, as Matthew
Ferguson has cooked up some fantastic sleeves to go with each
corresponding movie. The sleeves will house each individual
movie, while the actual box for the whole set looks like it’ll
be in the shape of a briefcase.[/quote]

[glow=red,2,300]Paranorman [/glow]One Sheet
[quote]
A series of five new one-sheets has come our way for the
upcoming animated kid-friendly horror comedy Paranorman that are
really cool in a vintage kind of way. And guess what? There's
not a floating head to be seen anywhere! Rejoice!
ParaNorman is directed by Sam Fell (The Tale of Despereaux,
Flushed Away) and Chris Butler (Coraline, The Corpse Bride) from
Butler's original screenplay. [/quote]

I found this very interesting
[glow=yellow,2,300]The Movie Poster Brake Down
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/2012/08/06/the-movie-poster-brake-down/[/glow]
French film distributor Christophe Courtois is no stranger to
movie posters. Having dealt with thousands of movies in his day,
Courtois noticed a growing trend in the world of movie posters.
Each cliche poster has its own genre of film associated with the
style of poster. Or so we think. His blog was written in french.
The Cold Shoulder
The Cold Shoulder poster features the mysterious lead with a
chip on (you guessed it) their shoulder. The long trenchcoat is
also a trending feature of these, dark and ominous characters.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/affiches+de+dos.jpg
The Explosion
Action. Bullets. Fire. EXPLOSIONS. Bruce Willis: 3. Jason
Stathom, 3. Nic Cage: 5. I smell a villian for “The Expendables
3: Someone Stole the Declaration of Indepenance”.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/noir+et+flammes.jpg
The Lady Turnback
They are powerful, smart and strong women. They don’t need a man
to tell them squat, because they’re independent and could solve
any problem. Even when they’re busy saving the world, they still
have time to look back at you, flex their glutes and say “I am
not a piece of meat. This is a respectable pose.”
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/trois-quarts+basse+def.jpg
The Quirky Public Bench
Corky and lovable, but has a problem. No worries, whatever it
may be, I’m sure it will all work out in the end, but until it
does lets just sit on this bench and think about the world for a
while.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bancs+petit+format.jpg
The Text Message
A fairly new method of sending a message about a movie via text
on said movie star’s face. Matt Damon’s face appears 3 times on
this board. I guess he has a very writable face, must’ve been a
great canvas for the nights he’d pass out drunk during his
Harvard days.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/texte+sur+visage.jpg
The Tom Cruise Profile
Hollywood loves the side of his Tom’s face. Rumor has it every
mirror in Tom’s house has two ajacent mirrors angled at 45
degrees so he can catch a glimpse of his profile at all times.
That could quite possibly be true.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/tom+cruise+de+profil.jpg
The Blindfold
See no evil. We get it. The movie is trying to say there’s a
mystery or secret here and gosh darn it someones going to figure
it out.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/affiches+yeux+bandes.jpg
The Sunglasses Reflection
Something about sunglasses that just make everyone seem a little
cooler. Well maybe except of #1 and 3. What better way to get a
360 degree visual than to get a full frontal of the movies star
and the point of view from their very own eyes? 100% of people
wearing glasses in these posters are the protagonist or
antagonist and portrayed to the the coolest bro in the movie.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/lunettes+dans+les+affiches+de+films+moyen.jpg
The Eye See You
Nothing more visual than an all seeing eyeball. Especially when
there’s an image or graphic that should otherwise not be
associated with an eye on, in or around it. Since the eye is
one, if not the most sensitive part of your body, nothing turns
a head for better or worse than a giant eyeball associated with
a foreign object. Not a shocker than most of these flicks are
Horror, thriller or suspenseful.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/affiches+films+yeux.jpg
The Back to Back
The two protagonists, usually who have contrasting
personalities, back to back in true odd couple fashion. Shows
the symbiotic connection between two opposing forces. Usually a
romady, dramady, or comedic-fartady.
HTML http://www.rsvlts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/affiches+dos+a+dos.jpg
The 5 Hole
No mystery here. Guys like a nice pair of legs that go on for
days and where better than to smack the title of a movie than
between them. Thank you Hollywood

Very cool post. When I use to do commission work designing stuff
for other people, I had a ton of references and what you posted
is what I have in my folders, labeled accordingly. It's hard to
break the cycle when people pay you decent money because they
say they want something that "looks like________".

[glow=red,2,300]Add Some Wow to Your Walls[/glow]
I like some of these...
HTML http://www.hometheater.com/images/912cinst.promo_.jpg
[quote]If you’re the kinda guy who can recite classic movie
lines like, “Leave the gun; take the cannoli” on command in
between handfuls of popcorn, you may want a pop culture print,
painting, or sculpture in your home theater with a little
personality, right?
What better conversation starter or way to warm up a cinema
space than with an original masterpiece from David O’Keefe
Studios (davidokeefe.com).
The passionate pop culture artist—who has a solo gallery in
Sarasota, Florida, but is based out of Tampa—nails it with his
caricatures of everyone from his laugh-out-loud Animal House
tribute, Knowledge Is Good, to his sepia-toned, spot-on,
gun-toting Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry, which by the way, is
one of O’Keefe’s favorites and on the gallery’s most requested
list. “Caddyshack is another staple for us,” he adds. [/quote]
HTML http://www.hometheater.com/images/912cinst.anhouse.jpg
[quote] O’Keefe is the first to admit that his masterpieces are
geared toward men—guys who have man caves or media rooms and
want something special for that space. Not surprisingly, there
are some core favorites among the movie, sports, and music icons
that O’Keefe illustrates. Seinfeld is a huge favorite for TV
fans. Sports nuts are eating up the Tim Tebow stuff.
The statement piece for movie aficionados is the original
Godfather painting—La Famiglia—which took a full year to
complete—outfitted in a custom frame complete with the signature
horse head, healthy representation of cherubs with tommy guns,
and the church where the baptism took place. In all its dark
majesty, it carries an $80,000 price tag (we hear it’s
negotiable). But don’t worry; there are plenty of points of
entry for those without deep pockets. A small original paper
piece goes for as little as $40. [/quote]
HTML http://www.hometheater.com/images/912cinst.sein.jpg
[quote] Interestingly, O’Keefe creates his art—and is so adeptly
able to capture the likeness and personas of his pop culture
icons—with a technique that has served him well. “I don’t like
to work from photos; I like to work from video.” For the
Godfather piece, he says, he watched the movie over and over and
over to capture the distinctive personalities.
While the Coppola movie is one of the best ever, grants O’Keefe,
he was able to name his favorite film without hesitation. “Oh,
Goodfellas,” he laughs. “It’s the best comedy ever written.”
We’ll be buying that print as soon as it’s ready! [/quote]

[glow=red,2,300]Back To The Camera Posters Are The Trend For
2013[/glow]
[quote]It would seem that movie-goers don’t want our stars
looking us in the eye anymore. We just want it quick, dirty,
and, most importantly, from behind.
Earlier today we saw the release of the first poster for the
upcoming M. Night Shyamalan-directed sci-fi thriller After
Earth, but if you’ve been paying attention to the film world
over the last few months you probably realized that the design
is very similar to some other recently released posters for 2013
blockbusters. In fact, it almost seems that every movie that is
set to debut next year is getting a different version of the
same poster.
Don’t believe me? Well, let’s do some quick mental time travel
all the way to late September when the folks over at Dreamworks
Animation released this poster for The Croods: [/quote]

[quote]
About a month later Marvel Studios unveiled this piece for Iron
Man 3: [/quote]
HTML http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/34794/_1356379541.jpg
[quote]Then earlier this month we got the first one-sheet for
Paramount Picture’s Star Trek Into Darkness: [/quote]
HTML http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/34794/_1356379549.jpg
[quote]That was followed just four days later by Universal
Pictures’ Oblivion: [/quote]
HTML http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/34794/_1356379558.jpg
[quote]And then another four days passed and Warner Bros. Jack
The Giant Slayer came out with this: [/quote]
HTML http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/34794/_1356379566.jpg
[quote]Just to cement the point, here’s the poster for Columbia
Pictures’ After Earth: [/quote]
HTML http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/34794/_1356379575.jpg
[quote]For those keeping score, that’s six practically identical
2013 movie posters from six different studios that were all
released within four months of each other (and four came from
December alone). Obviously I’m not naďve enough to think that
this is a brand new thing. Not only have movie studios reduced
the number of poster templates in general down to about 10,
they’ve even been doing the behind-the-back look for a while now
– and it was popularized by this pair of pieces from Christopher
Nolan’s The Dark Knight: [/quote]
HTML http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/34794/_1356379584.jpg
[quote]Though it’s been happening for years now and the
diminishing amount of creativity in Hollywood has been long
apparent, it is now becoming a legitimate problem. It’s one
thing for studios to release stupid, generic designs a couple
times over the course of a year, but when they’re all released
at the exact same time there is a danger of homogenization.
Serious film fans may not have the problem, but is a casual
movie-goer going to look at the posters for Oblivion and After
Earth and know the difference? Absolutely not. They’re going to
be processed mentally as the exact same thing, and how does that
help either film?
What’s funny about the whole situation is that it will end up
being the studios that are hurt by flooding the market with
material like this. If everything looks the same people will
have to decide whether they want to spend money on the same
thing twice. And that’s going to hurt at the box office.
Repetitive designs like these come from excessive market
research and testing, so it’s very likely that people do
actually respond to the “hero’s back to the camera” poster, but
marketing folks have to start pumping the brakes. Otherwise they
may as well just go with pure grey backgrounds with movie titles
on them. [/quote]
