Movie Posters from an Alternate Universe

Not sure if this belongs in the tv & media forum or here. But as most of the posters in it are sci-fi in origin and as the title itself is pretty sci-fi, I'm opting for here.

Artist Peter Stults has a lovely portfolio of 'what if' movie posters here, generally involving recent-ish movies done in a retro style or classic movies as if they'd been made in an even older era. So we get Die Hard with Leonard Nimoy, Pulp Fiction with Charlton Heston and Harry Belafonte, Avatar with William Shatner and John Wayne, The Hangover with Jack Lemmon, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, John Wayne as Superman (with Clint Eastwood as Zod) etc.

Well worth a look:

Edit - there's been a bit of a controversy about plagiarism, so here's also a link to the artist who seems to have had the original idea. Stult's work is better though, IMHO

'Inception' would be great with that cast! :D

Actually I always thought Tyrone Power could have made a pretty good Superman and Rita Hayworth an AWESOME! :adore: Lois Lane in a 40's Superman movie. :bolian:

John Wayne as Superman. Meh. :borg:

[edit] The second batch of posters I didn't find as interesting...some were kinda funny though.

The Fifth Element looked authentic to a tee.
They were all a lot of fun. Danny Bonaduce would have made a great John Connor, too!
 
I was gonna post these here, they're awesome!! I'd like to see several of these more than the originals!!
 
I want to see the Vincent Price/Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing Ghostbusters, Anthony Hopkins/Terence Stamp/Michael Caine/Julie Christie/Ian Holm Trainspotting, and Steve McQueen/Faye Dunaway/Richard Kiel Terminator films the most. :lol:
 
I want to see that AVATAR. Do you think the alien dialogue is in Esperanto?

(Don't really get the DIE HARD one. At what point in his career, was Leonard Nimoy ever a movie action hero?)
 
Jodorowski's Star Wars
Mario Bava's Masters of the Universe
The Phantom Menace TV Movie
Cronenberg's Tron (NC-17, natch)
Charles Bronson Lone Wolf and Cub

I'd love to see those.

Click to expand...

Of course, Bruce Willis wasn't before he did Die Hard...
 
Dude, Where's My Car? makes me smile, if not laugh out loud. The Pulp Fiction poster is something I'd actually hang in my house. :lol:
