Return of the One-Armed Swordsman
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is how you make an effective movie poster. Oh, sure, you wouldn’t be allowed to display it at the local multiplex - which, I admit, is a bit of an issue for something meant to promote your film - but I absolutely guarantee that nobody who sees this thing in all its full size glory will ever forget it. The film is Robert Sigl’s The Spider, a fifteen million dollar production shooting in Turkey. Archaeology, demon possession, reincarnated emperors, it’s got it all. Plus that killer poster.

Nice. Very nice indeed. Why? Cause I say so, and because it actually doesn’t look like a movie poster!

Well when you use one of Gustave Dore’s illustrations for Paradise Lost for half of your poster it’s hard for it not to be striking.

Well when you use… ehm, Arch Stanton beat me to the punch.
As for use in a multiplex: they might get away with it because it’s such a well-known piece of art. Would people complain about nudity if the Venus of Milo would be on a movie poster?
