Description

The past year has seen an explosion of a new online art movement – great graphic designers doing re-designs of movie posters for classic and cult films, re-imagining the posters that might have / should have been. The results are starrling, brilliant, witty, disturbing and surreal, but often better than the originals. This is a book that will appeal to all true movie buffs and lovers of poster design alike. Arranged by genre – Thrillers, Dramas, Crime, Sci-fi, Comedies, Horror and MIscellaneous – cult movies featured include Psycho, The Bourne Legacy, Naked Gun, Nightmare on Elm Street, Jaws, The Shining, Blade Runner, Mulholland Drive, Reservoir Dogs – and many, many more. Each poster is accompanied details on the movie, classic quotes and a statement from the artist. The Introduction is by the doyen of writers on the movies, David Thomson.
