I wish all Hollywood movies sounded as tantalizing as DRIVE, an upcoming movie directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan, and described by some who have seen it as an "art house action movie..." Easy to please, I love this poster for three reasons: its focus on man-crush hall-of-famer Ryan Gosling, plus the combined white border and the retro pop splash of the pink scripted title treatment.

Here's one of my favorite posters from 1998, a time when I was really falling in love with film, and Alfonso Cuaron's beautiful adaptation of GREAT EXPECTATIONS became (and still remains) an underrated favorite of mine. This teaser poster, which I still remember seeing in the Lion's Head theater lobby, stars not young star Gwyneth Paltrow, but Francesco Clemente's beautiful painted portrait of her, one of over 200 pieces that Clemente painted for the film as stand-ins for the artwork of Ethan Hawke's Finn. As a teaser, it foreshadows Cuaron's lush color palette, all overgrown greens and golden hair. I loved the studio's decision to market this Christmas release with this painting alone. See more of Clemente's work as it is integrated perfectly into the film and its credits sequences, and more of his work here.

Walking around in Sydney for the past few days, I've noticed this awesome poster for this year's Vivid Live music festival, and I was pleased to find when I looked it up that it was designed by La Boca, the British design group responsible for those alternate Black Swan posters from last year. I love the colors in their work, especially in this surreal illustration which also reminds me a bit of vintage Japanese graphic design styles.

Fun 60's British postal poster that I found while browsing through a bookshop in London. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that advertising used to look this great. I'll be posting some more tour finds soon...

Changing it up a little this week, here's a nice fan-made poster for Christopher Nolan's conclusion to his Batman trilogy, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. There are some great Batman fan posters out there, and there are plenty of not-so-great ones, and that's the way it's always been. I love this one, created by Josh Gilbert aka Shok Zone Studios, simply because it could actually pass for the real deal; it fits into the world Nolan and Warner Brothers have created with the two existing films and their campaigns, and it plays into our collective excitement about this movie by creating the perfect tagline that WB would be amiss not to steal. Visit Shok Zone Studios for more of Josh's work which is incredibly professional and well composed, ranging from hand-drawn illustrations and graphics to an entire catalog of posters and DVD covers he's created just for fun (my favorites include his Speed Racer cover and a teaser poster for a "what if" CALVIN AND HOBBES movie).

Mondo Cane, 1964, by Zamecznik Wojciech.

MovieGoods.com is selling a $9.99 reproduction of this, but I'm not sure of the quality. Has anyone ever ordered a $9.99 11x17 reproduction from them?
