Practically Perfect Poster...






Now that this is an example of art…

A lot of times of poster falls under the slavish dominion of a marketing department obsessed with stars.  Where poster will convey nothing of the story, no semblance of art or creativity.  Just a bland picture of an actor saying: "see this!".

Now, while this poster does have the stars, it also conveys what it's about in a very creative way.  The shadows beneath each actor represent the persona of each character they're playing without saying a word.  Very good job, marketing department.

Very good indeed…

You forgot to praise it for its use of shadows. You love shadows.

This is a good idea for a poster since the title alone tell a person nothing about what this is about (and just seeing images of the actors would do the same). Granted, I will admit that this might be too subtle (a person would need to really look a the poster, not just glance at it to notice the shadow forms). Hopefully there will be more marketing to get this movie known soon.

It's a bit like the Episode 1 poster, but still very very nice!
