Best there is! Love Drew!
anyone who painted The Goonies poster is okay in my book.
Now is neither the time nor the place to get into your Sloth fetish again, darling.
He practically invented the disembodied head.
Don’t you mean “literally”?
i studied art at a liberal arts school with a guy who was pretty obsessed with drew struzan. he managed to give a presentation on drew struzan in like every class, even when it was not even when it wasn’t connected to the assigned topic.
anyway, it is crazy to think about people making movie posters BEFORE photoshop.
LOVE Drew Struzan. I also love that Thomas Jane’s character in “The Mist” is roughly based on him and they use his art in his studio in the movie.
Thank you for answering my question on what the hell Thomas Jane was doing in that trailer.
There’s also a special feature on The Mist blueray or an extra disc on the dvd(maybe both?) that’s all about Drew Struzan.
He’s very talented, and I loved that allusion to him with Thomas Jane’s character as well, who only wanted to get his kids back.
“I just want my kid back.”
- Tom Jane at the end of The Mist
LLOLL (literally laughing out loud, literally)
I bet he carries around some regret about that.
George Lucas’ under-beard chin-neck is so fucking comical. How fulsome it is! How graceful; how wobbly!
One day it will inflate, light up, and carry him to heaven.
His body of movie poster work is ridiculously impressive:
Big Trouble In Little China, Blade Runner, Adventures In Babysitting, An American Tale, Better Off Dead, Cannonball Run, Coming To America, Cutthroat Island, Harlem Nights, Angels In The Outfield, Ducktales: The Movie, E.T., First Blood, The Great Muppet Caper, Harry And The Hendersons, Hocus Pocus, Hot Pursuit, Johnny Dangerously, Ladyhawke, The Lonely Guy, Masters of the Universe, Pan’s Labyrinth, Return to OZ, John Carpenter’s The Thing, The Mist, a poster of the fictional Dark Tower movie that Tom Jane was painting in The Mist, Zathura, as well as promotional stuff for AMC’s The Walking Dead, and SO much more. He even did movie posters for the Corcodile Hunter films.
Not to mention the Back to the Future films, Police Academy films, the Hellboy films, The Harry Potter films, the Star Wars films, the Indiana Jones films (although not the original poster for Raiders), and the Muppet films.
I’ll probably see this documentary.
I am making a Thriller in a group for media studies at A Level, what do you think should be involved (scene and graphic wise) if I were to make a trailer of it and poster.

He’s the Storm Thorgerson of movie posters. http://bit.ly/bfcfK8
