15 OF HOLLYWOOD’S MOST FASCINATING FILM POSTERS
It’s evening- a typical weekday evening and we city dwellers are where we’re expected to be. Damn! It never seems to end does it? Moving at snail pace, listening to the cacophony of hoots, sniffing on the whiff of exhaust fumes and then looking on ahead at the sight of anything but a clear straight road. In no time, our eyes begin to search the surrounding for distraction as a means of escape from a journey that seems to only fuel our frustration levels inch by inch as we move through hectic peak hour traffic.
By distraction I’m talking about those big time attention seekers we call billboard ads, and to be more precise- film posters! While most film posters evoke in us a ‘blah’ response; there are also some that instantly capture our imagination. Here we take a look at fifteen of Hollywood’s most fascinating film posters that have succeeded in driving crowds- Crowds that are led by the power of their own preconceptions and expectations to finally land a seat in the cinema hall. Have a look!
