Yaaay discussion thread!

Love the work by Francavilla, very old school feel. Use of text is great, colors look fantastic (and what is it, 13 colors?) and match well between purple, pink, and red. Evokes a very clean update on the old fashioned comic book/movie poster aesthetic. Feels like a GID variant could've been possible with this (I'm thinking the stars and the eyes?) but that's just picking nits.

Good job to FF, really just impressive work with the design and the detail.

Love it.

It's beautifully done and it is a great representation of the original icons in the movie. Still, I am not sure about it. All of Fracavilla's stuff has been, I don't know...more original and drawn from other material. I'm not saying this is bad, in fact I really love it. I'm just saying that it is too stylistic of a movie poster and I'm sure that's what was envisioned. Please don't blast me..
