IGN posts their V FOR VENDETTA Poster!
Hey folks, Harry here -- this time out it isn't so much German Expressionistic as it is heavily influenced from the Spanish & Argentinian poster art worlds. I hope they did a Polish style and Russian Style posters. THESE are real movie posters - not that standard photographic crap you see all over every other film out there. Here go check it out...

This gives me great hope for this film after a generally uninspiring trailer. Looks like they know what they're doing. A very literate poster.

The "Freedom! Forever!" tag is ruining these posters...
by LeiaDown&FuckHer
Outside of that lame and poorly placed and implemented catchphrase these first two of the new V For Vendetta posters that have been revealed have looked great, but that tag really is a detriment to the overall look and style of these posters. It sticks out like dogs balls, take that tag away though (or place it somewhere else where it doesn't clash with the design and style so much) and these would have been truly kickass.

... how this movie was supposed to come out last week? First time director, again without the consent of Alan Moore. This guy was DP on the Matrix films, yeah? The poster's the dog's cogs, no two ways about it- hell, I'd even be on board if the film had this look, though it'd probably come off more in line with that Franz Ferdinand 'This Fire' video. Whatever. That trailer was a touch underwhelming. The bullet-time swishy knife throw? Ugh. I'll give this a chance, but this still should've come out the weekend of the 5th for that spectacular chronological tie-in.

The tagline still sucks, though.

I really hope the film quality follows suit.

This looks like it was done by the artist Shepard Farey (the "obey" campaign, and the "walk the line" poster). Does anyone know who did this one, it's fantastic and original.
-
dig it.
-
the mtv and aicn posters are good but do not really fit the social circumstance of the film (rebellion to the point of violence within a romantic ideal). this one fits that circumstance well and i like it the best. could become a classic poster a la the first fargo posters.
-
But, within all that terrific art, where was Alan Moore's name? Did he have his name taken off and I missed it? Enlighten me, people. Klak!

by exit272
Will this be another wonderful Moore, ahem, "adaptation" like From Hell and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (oh, excuse me, "LXG")? You know, where they basically just chuck Moore's brilliant story in favor of some shit script by a hack-for-hire?
-
And the Barbara Krueger?

Has the UGO.com one been posted yet? Of the three I've seen, this is definitely my favorite. Now let's hope they release a new trailer that's equally cool.

These are amazing so far...some of the best movie posters I have seen in a long time.

...doesn't want his name associated with this, or *any* other films based on his works (regardless of quality). He doesn't so much care that they get made, he just doesn't want anything to do with them if/when they do, and doesn't want his name used to justify or sell them either (apparently if he had his way his name wouldn't be credited or on any of these films in any way). He believes that these stories were written for the comic medium, are best told in the comic medium, and should be experienced that way, and as such he wants nothing at all to do with any filmic adaptations of his work, good, bad or indifferent. That's his position on these things pretty much in a nutshell really. As such his lack of clear crediting is hardly that surprising really.
-
Right now it looks like a cool rental. "Uncompromising vision of the future?" How about showing some of it before you start boasting, Wachoskis? I'm tired of the boasting, because it's usually a sign a flick can't deliver.

This will suck! Fuck them for raping Alan Moore AGAIN!

-
BTW, the poster is fucking awesome. You simply cannot compare it with anything else out there presently or recently. I'll bet a studio head or two hates it but who cares...I love it. This movie may, just MAY, redeem the brothers after matrix reloaded and revolutions.
-
I really dug the aicn's poster, but this poster (the ign one) is the fucking shit. I thought the trailer looked pretty faithful (despite the dagger action waves) since it looks like it has the attack on the television studio and the concentration camp liberation sequences in tact. And each poster has been progressively more "HOLY CRAP!" inducing. I fucking love this poster... hot damn!
-
but I preferred 'Ideas are Bulletproof' as a snappy quotation from the script.

He's not accepting any money for this film, nor did he accept it for Constantine. His royalties are passed on to the artist he collaborated with. Get your facts straight before you shrug your fucking shoulders.

...is every one of them going to feature Natalie Portman sporting the crewcut? Might be good to push a more glamorous shot of her. I know it's integral to the story, but damn, that look is just not flattering for her IMO.

RE : Artemis Clydefrog - Remember Remember the Release Date..
by kingrobot
was changed due to the fact that on 7th July four suicide bombers blew up parts of of the London underground transport system killing 52 innocent people and injuring 700 (it was on the news channels...you may have missed it while watching spongebob Squarepants or whatever). The producers deemed that promoting and releasing a movie about a terrorist blowing up London landmarks would be a bit insensitive. Have another poster... http://www.comicbookmovie.com/news/articles/2422.asp

by Movietool
Just to shove it up the ass of the creatively dead producers who keep trying to adapt his ideas instead of coming up with their own. I mean, really - how much did Constantine (a pretty decent movie, in my eyes) have to do with the actual comic? Or "League?" Or this one (I've never read the comic, so I can't say)? I like Moore's attitude on this - "fine, take my ideas if you can't come up with your own, but don't expect me to call a piece of shit a gold nugget." I'm actually dissapointed he's letting his royalties get distributed to the other contributors. I'd take that check with glee, myself.

I love these new posters

Did they change the plot so that V can replicate himself?!?!? :P

before you start posting shit. If you are so fucking frustrated with your miserable life, then hit a punching bag and work on your upper arm strength. Don't take it out on complete strangers! Why are you so fucking pissy and defensive about alan moore? He could give a SHIT about your "concern" about him or his bank roll. Stop breaking those pills in half....Take the WHOLE PILL, NK?
-
That the poster for "Closer" should have also featured a "V"? As in the thong going down between Natalie's asscheeks?
-
HUH? Sorry, NK is sort of gay. I'll admit that. Normally I'd spew all sorts of venom and call you names however you have a point there. Sorry about that.
-
...out of the three, I prefer the AICN poster.

by FluffyUnbound
If it is, cut that shit out right now.
-
And it is pretty sweet too. I still have to go with this one and the aicn exclusive over it though. I can't really tell about MTV's, since those asshats have it so small.
-
Don't get me wrong, the other poster was better than most movie posters, but this one has a style that the other is lacking. It will stand out among all the other posters on the walls of the cineplex.
-
Hell yes! Aint it cool?

I really hope the movie is good...
