Really, Warner Bros? Really?!!
Out of all those comps sent over you went with this? With Rob Lowe? We know the one-sheet doesn't matter to anyone other than the producer and it does almost nothing to open the movie, but come on! The art directors like to hang them on their office walls - so couldn't you at least pretend to give a rat's ass about print?

Glad to see you lay the blame at Warners feet. You can't blame Cold Open for that boring poster. They do good work when the marketing geeks let them.

Sometimes the Marketing geeks don't have much of a say either, sometimes they want the good art only to have someone choose shit.
Just sayin

At least they over-retouched everybody. Joel would approve.

Are these frame grabs from the trailer?

What difference would it make?
Posted by: Just Sayin | Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 12:36 PM
No difference. All those lame quotes make it look more like still shots from a bad trailer than a poster.

Cold Open - this one SUCKS!
