I scoured IMPAwards.come for what IMO are the best 24 MPs so far this year:

If those are some of the best, it makes me wonder what some of the worst of 2017, so far, look like.

Akiko's "The Void" is cool. She consistently does great work.

Best art of the year (so far) - my opinion

https://www.flickr.com/photos/filmquadposters/35013140014/in/photolist-VkZuFQ

It's pretty good, just not sure about the leopard (?)

Pretty repulsive but much better than the usual VV dreck:

I took the leopard to be a cougar, as in an older woman with a younger man.

For me, the best posters of 2017 are The Graduate and Baby Driver Final

I glossed by it thinking it was a cougar, but a cougar has no spots. If they drew a leopard by accident, then it is bigger rubbish than I thought!

Cougar in a leopard jacket. Anne Bancroft wore a leopard print jacket in the film, so that's why I said cougar.

Agreed.  I didn't buy the print when it first came out for that exact reason.  Didn't make any sense.  Extremely lame design imo.

And Dustin Hoffman looks off, too. Not the best rendition of him, by far.

That's so much more interesting than the guy and his leopard.  What movie was it again?

It's a leopard because Anne Bancroft wears leopard print clothes in the film. The artist said a cougar would be too on the nose and obvious. It's probably my favourite Mondo print from last year.

Tob, you are correct. I have spoken to Rory who confirmed it is a leopard.

As I said earlier and Tob said it because Anne wore a leopard print jacket.

Lest I forget... This poster design by James Jean is a knockout.
I haven't been able to find it for sale yet, so I contacted the artist and am waiting on a response.

Thank goodness she didn't wear a zebra print instead

 Zebra or leopard --- any and all could have worked for this particular print.  8)

Hahaha... the perfect poster for me would have been Bancroft in a cougar outfit and Hoffman in a zebra outfit.  Now we're talking.  Utterly ridiculous.

ALIEN COVENANT

THE LURE


Both great, but Lure is a 2015 movie:

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).

Yes, The Lure was released in Poland in Dec. 2015, but didn't get more than American film festival exposure in 2016 until a limited release here in the States in Feb.2017, when this poster first became available. Impawards added it to their site Jan.3, 2017.
