He’s Just Not That Into You
This film contains a Scarlett Johannson nude scene. We really should try and find a way of working her into the poster. What do you mean we’ve got five minutes to finish it?
Okay, well, we’ll knock a basic image up in photoshop in a second, but let’s make sure we get her name on there at least.
But, you know, it wouldn’t be fair to put her name first, just because she’s the biggest star in this thing. We should do it in alphabetical order or something.
That way people will have to get past Kevin Connolly and Gennifer Goodwin before they get to her name and remember ‘Oh, this is the film with the Scarlett Johannson nude scene. I gotta see this!’
Nothing But The Truth
Ace, a poster you can’t look at for more than 3 seconds without feeling drunk. Seriously, this thing’s a gateway drug to Nurofen, not a film ad. Stick it on a billboard and start counting the car crashes.

haha, i think the Eden Log poster looks pretty cool, although I do echo the 'wtf' statement! xD
Race To Witch Mountain poster wins this for me though, its got everything!!! Oh and I don't think Dwayne Johnson's head is a prize, I suspect it's some fantastic form of transport, like, a giant floating head, which shoots lazerbeams out of its eyes! or whatever. win.

We had a bit of a debate about Eden Log's inclusion in the office, but the WTF-ness of it won the day.
Genius theory on Witch Mountain. It's now our ambition to ride around in Dwayne Johnson's head firing lasers at anyone who tries to beat us to Witch Mountain. Brilliant.

Who the f**k cares about the movie poster?!?!?! Who the f**k cares who's on the movie poster?!?!?! Who the f**k cares how ugly people are on the movie poster?!?!?! Odds are, we've all seen them before in movies ... so we already know what they look like. Who the f**k cares if the movie poster has a bunch of random/weird letters or pictures on it?!?!?! It obviously has SOMETHING to do with the movie. Who the f**k cares if you can't decipher the entire plot of the movie just by looking at the poster?!?!?! And last but not least, why the f**k don't you people all go out and make the most supreme and irresistible movie poster ever made?!?!?! Honestly, none of them aren't even that bad.

I wonder what they're using to sell The Unborn?
Odette Yustman is not off to a good start - but I suppose everyone needs to be a scantly-clad horror babe sometime.

Dude, if you're gonna rant about something, whatever you do don't undo all your work with a double negative that undermines your whole - and I use the term loosely - point.

The Bride Wars poster reminds me of the vs. screens in Mortal Kombat 3.
Good article, thanks :)

Hmm as disappointing as The Da Vinci Code movie was, I think I preferred Angels and Demons as a novel. I just hope they don't p**s on it from a great height like they did with the other Dan Brown masterpiece...

Fired Up is certainly the worst. Erm and what exactly is wrong with Catherine Zeta Jones' face? Eden's poster does its job for me, mysterious and no details to feast on. Remember the first trailer for Cloverfield? Got the people talking disregarding the fact it sucked.
