The movie poster is a paradoxical creation. Designed to be aesthetically pleasing while selling a movie too, it is this meeting of art and commerce that makes them such a unique and enduring creation. SciFiNow takes a look at ten of the most memorable.
Award-winning artist John Alvin’s iconic poster for Ridley Scott’s genre staple is a truly mesmerising creation. Capturing the noir aesthetics of the film and the skyscraping production design perfectly, photoreal paintings of Harrison Ford’s Deckard and Sean Young’s Rachael sit atop a vertiginous view of the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles 2019. Action packed and yet wholly atmospheric, it recreates the chaos of Scott’s visionary dystopia while maintaining a classical appearance and, of course, it introduces the signature logo too.
