Maybe not favorite, but it’s up there. Best thing about the movie and really tells you all you need to know.
This single poster arguably has more depth than the entire prequel trilogy. I remember being absolutely stoked when I saw this poster.
Totally for the fans. We knew what was coming already, it didn’t have to say anything. As much as I love the original poster for the first film (had it on my wall forever) this one is the best for Star Wars, even if you didn’t like the prequels. It’s perfection.
We knew what was coming already
If only that was true …
Me and my buddy were sitting on the couch smoking bowls watching news coverage about all the crowds at the theaters. We were a couple of blocks away from one so we decided to drive by and see how crazy it was in-person. Once at the theater, there was plenty of parking and no lines. We went to the box office expecting there were no lines because everything was sold out but we were able to buy two tickets to the next showing around 9p. We had enough time to go back and smoke more bowls and when we got back to the theater, we had plenty of choices for seats. I remember how much I hated the acting performance out of young Anakin and Natalie Portman, and whatever it was that Jar Jar was supposed to be. When The Force was explained as a blood disease I questioned why I ever liked Star Wars at all. I enjoyed Episode III when the jedi kids were slaughtered, The Force Awakens, and the last bit of Rogue One, but haven’t kept up with any of the side stories or origin stories. The first time I questioned my fandom was when I went to the theaters for the specialized editions. When I saw the CGI I thought if this is what his vision was supposed to be maybe I don’t like his vision.
This one’s brilliant.
Alrighty then
This one because it was an accident; somehow a black piece of paper got ‘accepted’ as the artwork instead of the actual artwork and everybody else just kinda rolled with it without asking questions.
Had to look this one up. According to Cameron:
"And I said, ‘Honestly, if I had a choice between that piece of shit and just an all-black frame, I’d go with the all black frame.’ And apparently what happened was I walked out of the office and he called somebody up and said ‘He wants it all black!’ He wasn’t hearing what I was saying. So if you ever wondered why there was literally nothing on the one sheet for Aliens, that’s why.”
I mean, it works!
Yeah that’s the story I was thinking about! Heard it on Lateral I think.
Niu Lai poster made by a theater because the mom and son who made the movie didn’t have a budget to produce promotional material
Was a toss up between this one, 2001, good the bad and the ugly or back to the future
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
My Neighbor Totoro’s release in china was delayed by 30 year due to political tensions. The eventual release got a new poster:
I like it much more than the original
