I take it you also heard this artist died yesterday?

I really miss the old standard of hand drawn posters. I even like the fact that they took a bunch of creative liberties with stuff that didnt even happen in the movie(Mechagodzilla 2)

i tried to find any poster from 2015 that would disprove that, but honestly most of what i find is:

-simple poster with title and title character surrounded by enviornment
-photoshop of all main characters together

-just the title

im sure there are good ones out there today, but we just havent seen them yet

That's a great picture. Looks more 3d than most movies today.

I'd say to answer your question who's in movies is more important that whats going on nowadays and these posters would get passed over a hundred times today.

There are still artists pulling their weight for fun unofficially anyway.

okay, did Noriyoshi Ohrai really do a crocodile poster? I know he did Star Wars, Godzilla, and metal gear, and this looks like his style

it's always about the money. probably cheaper to have some asshat photoshop actors onto a background and slap on the movie's title in a large font than to commission a skilled artist to paint an original.

and audiences don't give a shit anyway. most probably wouldn't stop to look at a good poster among the sea of shitty ones.

to be fair, Godzilla movies always had awesome japanese posters, even the non-hand drawn ones had intensity to them.

This was one of the last modern movie posters that actually caught my eye and it wasn't even the official movie poster released by the studio.

this, sadly.

no one in the general public really cares about a poster to catch their eye anymore. you can literally print the title of any big name franchise(Star Wars, avengers, jurassic whatever) on an all black poster and people will still see it

Because it would cost 100s of dollars to hire an artist to make the poster but only slightly less to hire your nephew to photoshop a poster despite the massively bloated Hollywood budgets

(Hint: it's all money laundering)

Quoted By:

but with a market budget of tens of millions, surely it's worth paying a few thousand to commission some really good art? kind of like how video games with a multi-million-dollar budget used to hire nobodies to do the voices and they sounded crap. Eventually they learned and mostly hire proper voice actors

The Avengers had a marketing budget of over 100 million dollars. They couldn't shell out, what, a couple thousand bucks for a decent poster?

The Avengers 2 ones were kinda lackluster though
