Great posters, but I'm gonna go on the record right now and say I have an inkiling that this movie will be horrible. I don't know why, I'm just getting a Spirit vibe from this. Sort of like trying to make a noir film stylistically without capturing it emotionally.

Love the title though. Best spoken like your a newsreel announcer from the 30s.

Spirit vibe? WTF! I don't see that nut bag Miller attached to this movie... The trailer alone should seperate the film from the filth of the spirit. What...All the people that I shoot scream? Man I don't have any idea where the spirit vibe comes from?

The posters are just out and out cool. As they are intended to be. They reflect the feel of what I see in the trailer, a gritty down and dirty action flick more akin to Death Wish than Spirit.

I think what he means is that the posters have the feel of The Spirit, and not necessarily the movie, but the comics. Since the comics did in fact have a very noir feel to them. In fact I looked at it and got the very same feeling.

Cool posters definitely.

nope, he specifies that "he thinks this movie will be horrible brcause it reminds him of spirit". And I say again, go watch the trailer! This movie is absolutely nothing like spirit. He could not have watched the trailer and posted that comment, But I do appreciate the fact that he digs the posters and the tag line, and I do agree with him on those 2 points. If the movie is good or bad? I won't know until I watch it. But based on the trailer, I think I'll really enjoy it.

The first is much better IMO. I'm very interested in this project.

Looks like some Tim Bradstreet action on those posters.

I really hope this has a chance to hit theaters instead of straight to DVD. The action from that highlight reel and the shooting script would look pretty sweet on the big screen.

Is it just me, or is the tagline incredibly cheesy? I think the movie will seem grittier and more serious without the tagline. Or at least change the font!

agreed. tagline is super lame

Damn Mr.Death you stole the words right out of my mouth. For sure gives me a Spirit vibe. it should have been even harder to kill

These are the kind of posters that used to get made. The kind that MAKES you WANT to buy em. SIgn me up for two copies each!!! Wonderfully crafted and classic for the new gen. DOnt care what anyone says, Im def in line for this one. Even though Deep Blue was a lame story, I still enjoyed it and anything else with Tom Jane. This esp looks good, but whos looking for the Academy Award here? Comn. Yes Spirit sucked but last I checked, this was not a Miller stripped through the mud film.Not every movie thats black and white and placed around the 30's-50's will be compared to that anyways, right?

Gotta be the worst poster I've seen in a while... typefaces are terrible. Did they use the LOLbuilder to make it?

Tim Bradstreet · 7 months ago

Heh, thanks for the kind words tek, nah, just used Impact which may be overused but seemed right for this. Sorry you don't like the poster. Can't please everyone.
I think the tagline is pretty cool. Finding the right font for that was difficult but everyone decided this was the best way to go. I just follow orders on that note.

It's a retro looking hero in an out of time, nameless city environment. Thankfully I didn't see The Spirit, but I have seen films like Asphalt Jungle, Point Blank, and The Killing (1956). You all will be happy to know that Malone is much more in THAT vein.

I'm a big fan of the posters, I just love them. I think when I walk into my local MJR theater that they are going to stand out versus all the hollywood head crap that is on display there now...hell, give me one of those 14 foot long banners hanging from the rafters. that would be super bad. But where is the notion coming from that this is a black and white movie? It's not. Check out the trailer. This thing is going to kick some action movie ass!

All I have to say is thank God for Tim Bradstreet.

Great work here!

I suppose no one can complain about the composition, the balance of typeface and color, the dramatic impact of the images, or the ability they have to invoke mood and character, SO, they complain about typefaces and taglines. Because some people just HAVE TO complain.

Or, maybe some folks really do prefer giant heads and blurred out motion on all their posters. I suppose so.

If you think this is at all like The Spirit, then one viewing of the trailer will put six rounds into the chest of that idea, and leave it dead and bleeding in a dark hallway. Then, later on, it will come back and light the idea on fire. Honestly.

Or maybe it's a compliment, because The Spirit ad campaign was the only thing about the movie that was good. It had some killer posters!

simple bad-assery

On the lipstick poster, you should put small pictures of the other main characters; fill that white space up in-between the credits and the gun/car! Basically, you've got 2 silhouette shots against 1 photo-drawn looking shot; so by doing this it should balance it out a bit, and also give the prospective audience member a better understanding of who he's likely to be giving "HELL" too. But the lipstick one is definetley the one you should put out in theatres!
