Struzan Poster for 'Cowboys & Aliens' [spoilers]

 

There are certain things that a filmmaker should have to do in order to truly consider themselves truly "successful"; one of which should be having Drew Struzan to create their poster. In a theatrical landscape filled with bad photoshops, text-over-face images, and all manner of poor design choices, having a traditionally illustrated movie poster by a living legend like Struzan is a rare thing (unless you're Harrison Ford, who seems to be in half of Struzan's work). Unlike the recent 'Super 8' poster (which was confirmed to not be his work), this poster for Paramount Pictures' 'Cowboys & Aliens' is 100% pure Drew:

 

We're very sorry.
We've been asked to take down the poster at the request of Universal Studios.

It seems that they would like to use the artwork (pure win!),
but they're not ready to unveil it just yet.

 

Beyond his iconic pencil style and sketched shading, you can also tell it's by Struzan by the attention to detail and color scheme (having his name signed on the side doesn't hurt either). While it's still unconfirmed whether Universal will be using this artwork (they may use it for a poster, or inside an "art of" book, or any number of promotional items), I think it's safe to say that we would much rather have this as the official poster than the double-cliché "over the shoulder, blue and orange" poster they've been using.

 

Starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde, 'Cowboys & Aliens' arrives in theaters on July 29th.

they didn't show it cause it had the friggin alien upfront in center spotlight!

I could understand why they didn't want it unveiled this early.

God I miss seeing posters like these in the cinemas. So much better that the photoshopped to death posters we get today
Comment by Stephan on June 14, 2011 at 12:18pm
THIS is Struzan. Much better than the Super 8 poster.

See? Why the hell can't we have more of these? Makes you ask: "Gee what's this about?" Not give us the same goddman pose
