A Week of Movie Posters, VI: King Kong
Sorry — missed two days there. Business was calling. Anyways, a short one:
Another great spoiler poster, since it actually shows us Kong. Spoiler posters too often just give us logos (Superman Returns), or even when excellent, as with the Dark Knight teaser-poster shown here, still play possum in not giving us a good look at whatever it is that we want to see. But this poster boldly and confidently suggests that the film has way more to it than simply the joy of seeing Kong, and thus it offers a huge close-up. In doing so, it plays a neat game of convincing you that whereas you may’ve been interested to see how Kong looked, the movie itself contains way more of visual note (alluded to in the big cut he has: how’d he get this? we’re meant to ask).
And this week of posters ends here. Feel free to nominate a deserving poster for your own Day Seven
