OCEAN'S ELEVEN poster here
Hey folks, Harry here... Hellboy sent in this wonderful image of the OCEAN'S 11 poster for the Soderbergh, Clooney, Cheadle, Pitt, Damon, Roberts, Mac, Gould, Garcia, Damon and on and on and on remake of that old Rat Pack legend flick of yesteryear. Finally a remake that is being put together and handled with style and class... And personally, that's what this poster has... Style and class. Looks.... COOL! All Caps! You have to love it when every single aspect of the film is smooth... Scripts, casting, test screening and the promotional material... Nice!

That poster is sweet. Very mod-ish.
-
Yeah, it's classy and simple, but it's also lacking. Maybe it's just my primitive mind of growing up with gaudy/tacky one-sheets, but this seems to be missing some charm. Just one guys opinion.
-
I've got such hig hopes for this film for no other reason than to show the rest of H'wood that a big budget movie with a plethora of big name stars can still be done with style and class today. And that it doesn't have to end up like "Rat (excuse me while I vomit) Race"!!
-
Does anyone else think that the 2001 Harry Head is quite a bit flattering? He must have been running for quite a while!
-
This looks sweet. As Harry says I can't believe how cool this film is in every aspect. The poster is the cherry on top of a nice gateau. The artwork looks very much like Alex Ross's comic cover work. Finally, I've mentioned this before and I'm going to annoy people but DOES ANYONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE know where I can get a look at the script. Harry if you're are listening have mercy on my poor soul.For any responses I bless you and thank you and that guarantees you a place in heaven.

...reminiscent of the ever cool Barry Lyndon poster, with a bit of a Reservoir Dogs feel to it. I really loved the poster for the Limey. Too bad I didn't enjoy the film. I loved Traffic, but I didn't like any of the poster designs. This design is beautiful. Simple, with a punch. Everybody loves Saul Bass.
-
I'm not at all salivating over this movie, re-makes still leave a bad taste in my mouth. I have to say though this is one of the most eye catching posters I've seen in a long while (hey poster you mind giving my eyes back? I need them to oggle Cameron Diaz.) Hats off to whoever designed it. I'm hoping this is a good omen.
-
Nice to see one sheet art isn't dead and buried, at least. I definitely like this one.
-
the "starring in alphabetical order" bit. Whose agent do you think demanded that be put in? I also wonder how many hours agents and mangers fight with studios to get the little word "and..." added above thier client's name or the position of it on the poster.
-
anybody else notice how close to the Smithereens "11" album this poster is?
-
I really liked this and I am pleasantly surprised also. For a movie that has so much star power and big names, how cool (and very strategically ironic) is it to have nothing showing but the feet. Very well dressed feet, at that. Very cool, makes me want to see this film. I'm not a caper-movie type of gal, but if the rest of the men in this movie look half as good as their bottom-halves do on this poster, then I am there. Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.......ZZTop
-
This'll be the advance style, so any others closer to the time will have faces probably. Bram Stokers Dracula had a good advance which didn't even mention any star names nevermind pictures. Saul Bass would've designed this poster if he was still alive. He did the opening credits to the original Sinatra movie as well, and this poster has the kind of stark image he did a lot of
-
instant classic.

RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF

The Grin,
frowning on robbery -
yup this looks smart as hell.but i hope they underplay the publicity of this movie cos there r a lot of expectations from this and overhyping it could harm it.
-
I wouldn't mind George Clooney's head, though...
-
i checked out that link, youre right its the same thing. the fonts even looks the same...
ohh well its still cool thoe.
-
Nice poster but...way too like something i have seen before,C'mon you know what i'm talking about.
-
Guarantee you that the boys in marketing kill this and go with a beauty shot of Clooney, Pitt and Roberts. Damon will be noticebly absent.
-
I checked out the Smithereens "11" album cover on Amazon, and bizarrely, the lower artwork is directly lifted from the 1960 Oceans 11 poster, and the figures are very nearly identical to the final credits scene in the original, so I think this might be an ironic in-joke by somebody -----www.oceans11.co.uk
-
It looks like the Smithereens cover because the Smithereens cover was a takeoff on the original movie's poster art.
-
Erase the "And" before Julia Roberts' name. I think it would be cool if they just made them all equally cast instead of giving them ranks. I think it would look better too. I hate it when there an "And" before the name..."And" = 10-15 mins. screen time :)
-
To "The Grin" and other TB'rs who are under the impression that the Smithereens stole this iconic 11 design, please take a look at the following:

Being a VERY big fan of the Smithereens, I do remember where Pat DiNizio was interviewed once about the similarity to a certain rat pack picture and said it was the whole point to sell the album on one of the 60s strongest images: the Ocean's 11 poster by Saul Bass.
This film being a remake anyway, it makes even more sense to use the title design. Much like Burton's use of the original Planet of the Apes logo for that remake. I mean, reimagining.
To add my own 2 cents about the film, I do hope it's as cool as seems to be the general consensus. I'm coming around to the Clooney after "O Brother" but am not exactly a fan. Also, the original 11 was no great shakes, itself. What I've read here seems to seperate it enough from the problems of the source material (stopping the story to make time for Sammy and Dean-O to sing a couple of numbers, eeesh), we'll see.
Anyway, my point was Soderberg and the Smithereens both stole from Saul Bass if you want to call it that, but the argument for it being done in homage is pretty valid in both cases. Let's just hope it's a better heist than "The Score"

LOOKS LIKE A TEASER -- BET THE RELEASE POSTER BLOWS...
by porkchopexpress
... like every other movie poster these days that HAS to have the stars' faces on them. I used to collect movie posters and quit about five years ago when everyone of them was covered with a mug. Whatever happened to the old painted posters. The word "old" frighten some? Many of those films made $100 plus, and yet we're stuck with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt smiling for "What Women Want." There is no imagination or creativity left in the marketing world of film. Browse your local video/DVD outlet and see how every cover looks nearly identical. Kudos to a catchy and clever teaser poster... but I'll bet the release shot has Clooney and Pitt all over it. As much as I like them, let me have to hit "play" or dish out the dough to see them.
-
Okay, thanks for correcting me on the origins of the art. - - - Man, I can't believe it... somebody corrected me in TalkBack without finding it necessary to hurl profanity or say terrible things about my mother or whatever. Might there actually be intelligent and civil life among talkbackers? God be praised.

The Grin, humbled. -
I wouldn't mind seeing Julia Roberts giving me head in this poster. I mean seeing Julia Roberts head.

-
I think its great. I like the typography. Not too squashed. The image is tempting and evocative. Best poster I've seen fir a while.
-
Is it just me or does Andy Garcia's name dilute the poster's otherwise enormous display of starpower? I realize they're listing these guys alphabetically but it seems like he's just not a big enough star to be listed between Clooney/Damon and Pitt/Roberts. Must have a good agent. PS: I have a feeling this movie may have to deal with a little bit of Mexican backlash. I know many people who actively hate Roberts and Pitt, after seeing that film.
-
Not the poster image, for it is actually way cool. But Andy Garcia gets top billing and Don Cheadle doesn't? Fuck this shit!
-
And to be honest I thought "Smithereens" too, that was a beautiful record by the way. Either way, Rat Pack, New Rat Pack, Smithereens, it literally is all good, I'll see you all at the opening of this sucker, meet me beforehand and we'll down a few martinis and sing a few SMITHEREENS tunes....lalalalala yesterday girl, yesterday girl....lallalala
-
Sorry but I find this poster to be VERY lame. Set up a monkey with Adobe Photoshop and you'd get a better poster. Here's hoping a cool shot of Pitt and Clooney w/ Roberts in-between makes the final release poster. I wouldn't even care if it was just a silouette of the three of them. It should be a great movie regardless.
