Movie posters for US/International releases, as designed in Poland.
While most movie posters in the United States pretty much showcase the standard corporate style imagery to hawk the film, the fine folks in Poland have a brilliant dramatic license when marketing Hollywood’s finest in their country, resulting in some of the most brilliantly surreal and amazing pieces of movie artwork ever created. Some of them are obvious, some seem to be crazy nonsequiters that have nothing to do with the original picture, while others seem to change the focus of the movie altogether. Weekend
At Bernies now looks more like a horror film, and Polish poster for The Terror of Mechagodzilla looks as if it was animated by the folks that made Yellow Submarine.
Really neat. It makes you wonder how a US movie would do if they used the Polish art.
Though I have to wonder now — most (all?) of the movies up there are a good decade or more old. I can’t imagine that Hollywood would approve of this going “off-message” today, which makes me wonder if this is all a thing of the past.
Man, those are some ugly posters.

Answer: Avo wouldn’t see many movies. 🙂
Cooool! I especially liked the one for Ghandi.
I hope they can still do that in Poland. Would like to see more of it here.
Yeah…the Ghandi one was cool.
Now the big Question…
Did Dave Download the the Howard the Duck poster?
Didn’t download any of them (otherwise I would have put them on the post).
But, yeah, the HtD one was pretty cool …
Avo doesn’t see many movies! One, maybe two per year.
