First Look: Check out these sweet studio-licensed WOLFMAN posters from Mondo!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. In the last post I made about a series of Mondo posters I made reference to a few super sweet designs that I had seen and would hopefully be able to share with you. Well, that became a reality when Universal approached us to debut their officially licensed posters for Wolfman and the original Lon Chaney Jr. The Wolf Man (my favorite). Check them out (click for super large versions):
First up is Daniel Danger's poster for the new one, THE WOLFMAN (without a space):
Next is Martin Ansin's for the classic THE WOLF MAN (with space):
Both will be put on sale at Mondo's site tomorrow mid-morning and are limited pieces. There are 350 prints of The Wolfman by Daniel Danger and 250 of the vintage Wolf Man by Martin Ansin... and there will be a limited glow in the dark variant printing of 75 pieces of Ansin's work, too. GLOW IN THE DARK LON CHANEY JR.! Yes, please.
All purchase and price details will be found at Mondo's site tomorrow morning, February 4th.
I, for one, love this trend and applaud Universal for licensing these posters as a promotional move for their redo of WOLFMAN, which opens February 12th. The official movie website can be accessed here.
I hope we see a ton of geek art associated with cool flicks. I especially love the vintage classic monster stuff. More, please!

says that bob hope

don't listen to the stories of behind the scenes turmoil, the film is breathtaking on far more levels that i can say
-
second one is eh
-
Nice meticulous linework, and if you look closely at the zoom, the untransformed wolf man is in red. Very strong image with a neat retro design.
First one looks good from a distance. -
Apparently that's what people around the world want to know;)
-
that said, if this film is decent why the mid-February release? In time for Valentine's day? Whaa?
-
Are you still jacking off all over a hardcopy of it because you so desperately want to feel intimately connected to the film JAWS? The longer you wait, the worse it looks for AICN. Post it already! Brown was a god and you are all snubbing him by your silence.
-
Now we are in the Wolfman Crase now there will be teen movies with hairy half-naked boys fighting over a skinny pale bitch!!
-
You are aware that the Twilight series actually has werewolves in it already as major characters, and that one of them is already a teen sex symbol? You're behind the curve a little here.
-
Those fuckers disrespect the classic monsters all the time. At their theme park, they have the monsters atop a 50's style diner holding fiberglass drinks, burgers, and pizza slices, or they have them playing in a stupid song/dance review starring some hack dressed like Beetlejuice. Disney doesn't dis the mouse, Universal shouldn't disrespect the monsters. They saved Laemmele's ass in the 20's/30's.

u massive homosexual
-
which is kinda odd since it generates revenue.
-
honestly harry there someone out there that would take on the duties and probabaly have the time to put more effort into it then you currently do, pass it on brother take on an apprentice who will carry on the torchI would volumteer except i'm mondo busy with production of batman 3
-
you monkey king you
-
Ha ha. If Harry needs someone to take over for him, I'll happily volunteer. I even live in Austin. ☺
These Wolf Man posters are amazing. I really hope enough people see this one in theaters. I'm trying to get as many as possible to buy a ticket...everyone do their part! -
now we just have to hope that the movie is any good. Can it beat the odds? I want to believe!
-
are gonna be great fun times at the movies.
-
Shit, I want that.
-
Clone? Imposter?
Wait...who gives a fuck? -
"That"??
lol .... what a cunt. -
....The second should have employed a real image of LC jr. or why bother.
-
I have a bad feeling about this movie.
-
....I reckon 'THE WOLFMAN' title doesn't look as good as the original 'THE WOLF MAN' title....
-
Guess this was made when Haslinger was still attached.
-
The classic one is too close to the actual classic one for me, but maybe the glowing thing'd make it cooler.
Going to see it Monday and they'll have a Q & A with one of the makeup guys so I'm going to ask whether Baker got fucked over. God I hope they've re-done that 'eye' shot in the trailer...
And btw what's with the music credit on the poster? I thought Elfman came back? -
Posted at the same time...
-
Just quit wasting your time bitchin'. Just go to the movie and have fun. It's done in the style of the old fashioned monster movie. How often have we ever gotten that? This is not the kind of movie that you get all sore over. This, is already by the trailers alone, better than most werewolf movies. To think that they took a risk making the movie in this style with the old-fashioned werewolf look is actually pretty damn cool considering the style of movies we get nowadays. So bitching about this is pretty damn stupid.
-
Well, yes and no dude. It's violent, with some vicious blood and gore, so not old fashioned in that way. But hopefully, the best of both worlds, and yep I want it to be FUN. I think it's fair on my part to complain about them fucking Baker around and not wanting as much of his input as possible. I'll see come Monday I guess. Cheers man.
-
There's just some sort of beauty that old B&W film can capture with movies like Wolfman and Frankenstein that I love. Damn... especially Frankenstein. I got to see that film again. It's been too long. I hope the new Wolfman and Frankenstein can somehow capture that dark yet horrific beauty.

To end every sentence with...
-
I've been traveling, but I did notice it. I'll write something tonight.
-
where students drew like that?
-
Cool design, but the context is wrong.
-
Daniel Danger's work is pretty cool. It's a poster that elitists mystery and a need to know more.
Martin Ansin's work sucks!! It looks like it needs a gimmick to sell more shit!! -
It's hard to stay mad at you when you don't insult me back. I 'spose you've heard worse. Glad to know that Brown's passing won't go unnoticed.
-
David Brown. I'm glad you responded to Speed Fricassee on this one. David Brown was a LEGEND and will be sorely missed I'm sure.
-
On Mondo's site you can actually make out the little wolfman & girl in the corner, which makes the poster anything other than meh, to be frank.
-
i will pass on a $45 poster.
-
..is actually pretty good
-
Maybe it's just my phone, but I see NO trace or sign of the Wolfman at all. It's just a carriage in the woods. It may as well be Sleepy Hollow. Meh.
-
noir.
-
I see the monster and the girl now. Good poster.
-
that Gene Simmons does the howling for this.
-
JettL93 was blocked. It's probably not an imposter, JettL just didn't take the hint and created a new account.
-
Look in the bottom right-hand corner. It's very subtle, which is why I love it :) Creeeeeeeeepy!
-
I'm trying to order the classic right now. It just seems to be spinning in circles. Probably will time out here in a bit.
-
What the fuck! I've been trying to buy the fucking Blue poster for a fucking half an hour now.
-
It's officially not working. You can get the shopping cart to come up sometimes if you refresh enough times. But can't actually add anything to your cart.
-
I can get as far as the checkout screen, but then it wont let me put in mt credit card... Just freezes up and keeps giving me that fucking Click here to return to page screen
-
I got to the credit card screen. But It showed me ordering 20 of them. It wouldn't let me update my cart to 1.

Someone call them up and tell them to halt sales until they get their shit unfucked. Some people don't have all day to sit by their computer hoping to get in on a limited item like this. -
I'll again a little later, if it's not fixed by then...fuckem I'll buy a bottle of Patron Silver instead.
-
It shows one item. I'm good so far. I just order one successfully.
-
Then check out the Mondo website (when it's working again)!

Keeps saying Invalid Hostname

I like Ansin's art but the poster's design is annoying. Looks half-baked in its development and that type is too damn tiny! Also, the Wolf Man photo he used is from HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, not the original THE WOLF MAN (I know this is a fan's quibble but there are great images to work from the original film and this just shows no effort or energy to create it). Ansin is a terrific artist but this fails in the design department. I suggest Mondo contact Texan and excellent commercial artist Kerry Gammill, a noted expert on classic horror films. Gammill also created the acclaimed book on FAMOUS MONSTERS artist, BASIL GOGOS. Gammill is the go-to guy for poster art in the future concerning classic Universal horror characters. Here's a url to his site: http:// gammillustrations.bizland.com/monsterart/ . I'm just sayin'!
-
Gammill is also on the new DVD of THE WOLF MAN, offering his thoughts on Lon Chaney, Jr., in the special feature documentary, "Pure in Heart: The Life and Legacy of Lon Chaney Jr."

New Wolfman poster!!!! http://tinyurl.com/yh4tbuo

when there are plenty of other artists out there making cool shit like this.
-
What other artists are doing cool stuff like this?
I'm on Mondo's cock so much because the stuff they have usually rocks. -
Yesterday, I was too early on their site and couldn't buy one. Today, the blue one is all sold out and dickheads are selling the fucker for over 100 bucks on ebay.... God damn it...
