THE HOBBIT Midnight Premiere IMAX Exclusive Posters

Just gorgeous, character portrait posters. 

These will be the giveways at the 12:01 premiere IMAX screenings on December 14th.

While the standard HOBBIT posters haven't been horrible...these would have made fantastic official posters. Can't find an artist credit yet - but they have a vaguely Drew Struzan feel to them.

The Lord of The Rings Poster by Olly Moss for Mondo

LOTR by Olly Moss. It's the simple little details that really make this sing. 

Why can't actual movie posters be more like this?

I like the warm tone version a bit more - see more close-up photos of both @Mondo.
