Post your "tricked out" "official" movie posters here, not the commercial ones - ones that have actually been posted in movie theaters.
These posters have unique physical characteristics - the "wow" element - glow in the dark, lenticulars, optical illusions, etc.
These are not common, probably because they are expensive to produce.
I'll start off with a few.
-
The prismatic holofoil Sin City B1.
-
Mel/kovacs what are the odds of coming up with all three of those Prestige character sheets? Zero to non?

Probably zero to none. I have the Bale, but have never heard of anyone with that one or any others, nor have I seen any for sale (and I have been keeping watch for them). I guess its possible, but for no further examples to surface in 4 years is very strange for a modern film.
-
Wouldn't those posters fit perfectly in the "Unicorn" thread, then?
-
That Sin City is awesome, Erich. There's a number of Japanese posters that use the prismatic effect. I also love the ones that use raised ink, sparkles, embossed printing, and other details. But, the one that takes the cake in this category is this B1 I have for Midnight Eagle. The regular poster has images of bullet holes on it. But this special copy, printed on heavy card stock, has actual holes in the poster for the bullet holes. Where you see black in the image, when in a lightbox, the light shines through the holes. One day I need to take a pic in the lightbox. It's the best of all tricked out posters, I think.

-
You have it backwards. The characters are visible from a distance, but not up close. I dont think I can take a picture of the effect though because I can't get a tight enough angle with the camera.
Ah, just take a step or two back from your monitor to see the effect.
-
As promised, here's the "Tank Girl" poster under black light - really strange they actually produced this for movie theaters - I've never heard of another official black light movie poster:

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Physical/TankGirlunderblacklight.jpg)
Here's the Spiderman 3 poster - the gloss is streaked over the poster to produce a cool rain effect when backlit:
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Physical/Spiderman3-withbacklight.jpg)
-
you know, I had seen and considered nabbing one of those tank girl posters. I never knew it was a blacklight poster though. That spidey 3 poster is great, but it is really too bad the movie was so terrible. Personally, I have one of the "Venom on the left" versions.
-
I have the quad for Spidey 3 although Ive never had it up for display .. Id love to see what that looks like ! I got the version like the image above with the main image being of Spider man and the reflection being Venom .. To me that portrayed the struggle between the characters better.
-
This thread has been dead for a year but I spotted a new tricked out poster. Can you read the hidden message?

I've also got a Spiderman 3 one sheet with just Venom and the gloss varnish rain, it's a really great effect... just can't photograph it!

Nice Mel, very nice.
Free your mind Stew and ye shall see ;D
Holiday loving that bullet ridden Midnight Eagle, great idea for a poster and would look great backlit with the light coming through the holes.
-
Mel...outstanding...
Agent..come on man gimme a pointer.....the slight effect i got was the text seemed to move behind and on top.....
Stew
-
Yeah, I left the Killians out of that list on purpose, but they have a nice selection of mylars.
And Stew, I dont believe there is any effect there to be found, other than the prismatic holofoil effect which is immediately evident.
-
Curse agent... ;D
He would have let me spend all day on that....
Danke Kovacs.............Agent.......you swine.... ;D
Stew
-
Sorry Stew, didn't mean to make you hang on... nooo message just a gorgeous shiny poster ;D

You need to get out more Mel. Back in the 60s they made this really cool black light poster for Majin, and there is also one for Gamera vs. Barugon from the same studio.

-
That is a cool MAJIN image.
Those films freaked me out as a kid. thumbup
-
Plus or minus a few years around 1970, NSS made a bunch of those long paper banners in fluorescent, black light friendly colors. Many of the AIP titles were like that, and I think even mainstream studio films were as well.
Not a big release, but here's another, '60s era:

That's cool as hell, Sean. I know Marvel issued a few black light posters in the early/mid 70's, but those were commercial posters and not for movies
-
So how 'bout some pics of those posters UNDER black light?
-
Alright Mel,
when looking for something else I ran back into these black-light posters for Gigantis (1959 - the earliest blacklight I am aware of) and Majin (1966).
So I went ahead and tried to get photos for you:

(http://marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/hi/6/5768/majin_day.jpg)
then while shooting I noticed the Nightmare Before Christmas lobby I had hanging up had some cool reflectivity in the logo and other places (but the photo didn't turn out as well)

Cool black light designs, too bad they swiped this GIGANTIS art from BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS.

I brought this poster set up on the Animation Posters thread. I'm still trying to get it - the work that went behind creating it is really impressive for an animation fan:
Featured Characters
Tokyo: 130 posed characters, 2 simulated crowds
London: 145 posed characters, simulated traffic
Italy: 140 posed characters, simulated crowds
Total: 415 posed characters
Composition
Total shots: 20 cameras and locations per poster = 60 individual shots
Total staff: 20-25 people: CS TDs, layout artists, master lighters, matte painters, simulation TDs
Total time to complete: 5 months

FTFY... It's the Lucas approach to merchandising. Can I interest you in a Spaceballs: The Flamethrower?
BTW, have you ever won anything in a Pixar Projectionist contest (2nd prize is always an autographed adv poster)?

No, I haven't. Nor have I ever heard of this contest. What is it?
-
No, I haven't. Nor have I ever heard of this contest. What is it?
For every Pixar reelease they have a contest that is only for projectionists. The grand prize is a trip to and tour of Pixar Headquarters. Second prize (100 given away) is an adv poster of the film autographed by the director and sometimes the producer - a note on Pixar letterhead comes paperclipped to the poster). Just for entering, they usually send out a consolation prize (baseball cap or some such). I have seen two of the posters, Ratatouille and Up (I have this one), but I believe they started with The Incredibles...
In the film cans/hard drive case of every print is a plastic case with the pixar equivalent of baseball cards. Each card has a character from the movie on the front and general Projectionist info on the back - Toy Story 3 had a really nice lenticular card. Somewhere on the cards they tell you to go to website and enter a password to enter the contest.
-
So that's what those damn cards are... I have a whole stack going back to Cars. I'll have to make sure I get involved this month!
-
I can appreciate this one Mel
-
Surprised this one hasn't been posted yet. I'm having difficulty flattening it around the bite mark, but still a cool poster.

That is interesting! Is that on paper or mylar? I'm trying to think of how they achieved that bite pattern. What type of machine?

I like the "shark bite" poster. Here's the other Dancing poster, all "aglitter".....

The trick with this poster, which is on thicker than normal paper, is finding one where the jagged bites are not torn or folded.
-

It's called a Die cutter.
-
I remember yeahs ago Bruce had a jaws poster with a large chunk missing and the sales pitch made it sound like what they have done here. Maybe the stole his idea.
-

It is paper. I've seen the poster listed as 'die-cut' but don't know if that helps. I imagine there was a large press the would simply come down on the stack and shear away the bite area. Just a guess.

Fortunately mine has neither tears nor folds.
Unfortunately the poster was rolled too tight so it's been a beach to flatten.

Here is another die cut example.

I think that bug has ulterior motives here...

It's a she bug, this is the female version of top gun.

That's exactly what it is. it's like attaching a big cookie cutter to a hydraulic press...they normally can cut stacks around an inch thick. any thicker and the blades start to flex off square. the blades are inserted into a laser etched piece of wood that is attached to the top of the press and there is another lasered piece of wood on the bottom of the stack that the blades fit into after they've passed through the stack.

Note a die, is also the term for the mould (which isn't a mould) that coins are struck from,
Coins are struck not moulded.

Great poster for a great film, and a gift from Mr Gallo himself... clap

Wonder if there's also semen.
-
I think Chloe took care of that.
-
Wonder if there's also semen.
You can't afford it.
-
How much did he want for it again?
-
a million, with certain conditions:
Vincent Gallo's Sperm
$1,000,000.00
Price includes all costs related to one attempt at an in-vitro fertilization. (A $50,000 value) If the first attempt at in vitro fertilization is unsuccessful, purchaser of sperm must pay all medical costs related to additional attempts. Mr. Gallo will supply sperm for as many attempts as it takes to complete a successful fertilization and successful delivery. Sperm is 100% guaranteed to be donated by Mr. Gallo who is drug, alcohol and disease free. If the purchaser of the sperm chooses the option of natural insemination, there is an additional charge of $500,000. However, if after being presented detailed photographs of the purchaser, Mr. Gallo may be willing to waive the natural insemination fee and charge only for the sperm itself. Those of you who have found this merchandise page are very well aware of Mr. Gallo's multiple talents, but to add further insight into the value of Mr. Gallo's sperm, aside from being multi talented in all creative fields, he was also multi talented as an athlete, winning several awards for performing in the games of baseball, football and hockey and making it to the professional level of grand prix motorcycle racing. Mr. Gallo is 5'11" and has blue eyes. There are no known genetic deformities in his ancestry (no cripples) and no history of congenital diseases. If you have seen The Brown Bunny, you know the potential size of the genitals if it's a boy. (8 inches if he's like his father.) I don't know exactly how a well hung father can enhance the physical makeup of a female baby, but it can't hurt. Mr. Gallo also presently maintains a distinctively full head of hair and at the age of 43 has surprisingly few gray hairs. Though his features are sharp and extreme, they would probably blend well with a softer, more subtly featured female. Mr. Gallo maintains the right to refuse sale of his sperm to those of extremely dark complexions. Though a fan of Franco Harris, Derek Jeter, Lenny Kravitz and Lena Horne, Mr. Gallo does not want to be part of that type of integration. In fact, for the next 30 days, he is offering a $50,000 discount to any potential female purchaser who can prove she has naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. Anyone who can prove a direct family link to any of the German soldiers of the mid-century will also receive this discount. Under the laws of the Jewish faith, a Jewish mother would qualify a baby to be deemed a member of the Jewish religion. This would be added incentive for Mr. Gallo to sell his sperm to a Jew mother, his reasoning being with the slim chance that his child moved into the profession of motion picture acting or became a musical performer, this connection to the Jewish faith would guarantee his offspring a better chance at good reviews and maybe even a prize at the Sundance Film Festival or an Oscar. To be clear, the purchase of Mr. Gallo's sperm does not include the use of the name Gallo. The purchaser must find another surname for the child.
This service is available, but is only payable by cash, checks, and/or bank wire. No credit card payments accepted for this item.

Brandon,
Why did u delete that cool "shark bite" poster you got? dontknow.gif

I saw it on eBay, and I couldn't confirm that it's an original, as I didn't see another anywhere else. After thinking about it, the detail of the cuts indicate that it is likely an original, that was made with the type of dies specifically designed for that.

In talking about the Stout sheet metal poster for Robocop in the Wanted board, I remembered the special poster that was also made of sheet metal for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011). It was die cut into the shape of a razor blade. So it seemed a good fit in this genre thread.

Cool piece there, ML. I recently heard about the infamous scene with Chloë Sevigny in this movie.
Do the footprints reference something in the movie? Interesting how he wrote all that stuff, in addition to his signature.
