Shape of Water... she's hugging the 1950's Creature From the Black Lagoon.

Shows that some characters and designs are truly ageless and iconic.

But a little "tweaking" and updating for this 2017 version might have been in order (especially if the creature looks as depicted on the poster).

Reminiscent of the Gillman for sure, but del Toro fans see more of a direct connection to Hellboy's Abe Sapien.
Check out the trailer.  It looks fascinating.

Hopefully, with del Toro at the helm, as well as him being the screenwriter, this may turn out to be something special.

The Kong Apocalypse Now homage is pretty awesome.  Is it by Matt Peak??

I don't know.  Is it?  I love what he did with the recent Halloween.  Would love it if it was him.

And since it's garnered ridiculously good reviews, I'm taking my nephew/niece to see it:

I must be getting old, but are those Justice League posters really 'Best 2017' ? If you want to do something just a little different for a Super Hero film seems Thor got it right.

I can't think of a scenario where batman and wonder woman alone wouldn't get the job done. If the bad guy is hiding out underwater - ok, Aquaman would be an asset in that case.

I don't understand the gong joke? I assume it means I'm an idiot, and because I don't understand the gong joke, it proves I'm an idiot  ;D

I agree, Ted (if this is what you're suggesting with your image. If not, apos in advance) that the dressed, 'nurse-mannequin' poster and the other showing a costume adorned with inflated, latex gloves, are both a couple of real turkeys.

Sewn on, blown up, surgical gloves...

Really??

I think you should rename this thread "Best 2017 Movie Designs..." because a lot of these will never be printed.

Here's one I got a few weeks ago.  I really like it.

^Yeah, I like that Wonder Wheel poster too.

The Deadpool 2 Thanksgiving poster is spot on. Love the facial expressions and Stan popping up in the picture.

Ted, the Tracey Ching is available here on holofoil paper:
