^Laurent has some real skills.

Reg, variant and art edition Wicker Man prints have just gone up at Dark City Gallery (http://darkcitygallery.com/). I think the variant is very good looking...I'm a sucker for black backgrounds with rich colours screened on the top

Imagine if they did one for the wicker man remake

I've still not got round to watching the remake...must rectify that one day, it sounds pretty funny

That WICKER MAN is a damn fine poster.
I like Mumford's style a lot.

First time I (rightly) hated it.
But second go, I went in thinking of it as not a remake, just some crappy movie, and I laughed my arse off.
There are some scenes that are too out there for a mainstream American movie, sadly they were serious, but it works as a comedy in a really bizarre way.

Picked this up. Joshua Budich print. I like the artwork on this.

Wow, that's awful...

You would think that anyone who has spent as much time/effort as Budich, would have to improve to some degree.

Or, maybe, he just hasn't hit Gladwell's 10,000 hours.

I like it... I am not seeing the awfulness... Nice one! Compare it the Bass original - now that was awful.

Although it does seem to clearly rip off that Stout fella.

I own one Budish (Ferris Bueller) and that was a tragic mistake. Just got carried away. And I happen to think that the original Bass poster is brilliant. Simple and to the point.

Give me this one, any day:

What are you guys talking about! That Shining poster is a hack job. It's practically a 'text only' genre. There is noting to grab you - boring... If I recall I don't think Kubrick even liked it.

rdavey26 · « **Reply #566 on:** February 24, 2013, 05:39:19 PM »

Well I like the Budich Shining print. Yeah granted some of the heads look a little f-ed up but I still like it. The theatrical poster is alright but it is mainly text and to much damn yellow. I think that they could have come out with a much better poster for this movie.

Not so. Kubrick had much "pull" in the approval on the final poster used for the film. He was a perfectionist & would not have settled on something he didn't like.

Kubrick made Bass go through at least 300 versions of the poster until finally ending on the extremely alien looking version we now know.

A selection of other Bass designs that were rejected by Kubrick can be seen here:

Nothing was ever used without Kubrick's approval. He was a maniacal freak (in a good way) and had final say on all aspects of production, distribution and marketing.

To me, the Bass art is way scarier than the international 2 face design.

I've heard this and the 300 bit... You guys win - I have no explanation as to why anyone would think this poster worthy of more than the Bad Movie poster thread...

Have to agree with Charlie on this.
And I collect daybills.
