One of the highlights of every month’s Empire is the “‘Ollywood” page, in which British designer Olly Moss cranks out a movie poster that is—inevitably—1,000 times cooler than the film’s actual poster. For example:
- Moss’ Sex and the City 2 poster via.
Moss also designed this poster for Thor, which was commissioned by one of Marvel’s big wigs as a gift for the film’s cast and crew. Too bad Marvel decided to go with a wannabe-Frank Miller PhotoShop job for the film’s actual poster.

A few other personal favorites, along with Moss’ latest work, after the jump.

Moss’ most recent work is a gorgeous trifecta of posters for the original Star Wars trilogy, made in a limited edition for Mondo. Naturally, they’re all sold out, which means if you’re a rich person you should buy them for me. It’s almost Christmas! Do something nice for me, rich person!

Hollywood: Hire Olly Moss. Fire this guy.
All in a very Saul Bass style.
Nothing wrong with that; I love Saul Bass.
Also amazing are this Hartter fellow’s “alternate universe” movie posters: http://hartter.blogspot.com/2009/11/misc.h…
The Clint Eastwood Wolverine one may be my favorite.
@tk.: Hartter’s posters are great! Thanks for posting the link.
Yeah, awfully Saul Bass there… but that’s still a good thing.
p.s. Can anyone, without Googles, name the one movie Saul Bass actually directed?
With Google, then:
‘In 1974, he made his only feature length film as a director, the visually splendid though little-known science fiction film Phase IV, a “Quiet, haunting, beautiful, […] and largely overlooked, science-fiction masterwork”.’
Thank you, Wikipedia.
GOOD MOVIE. Sort of. If you like strange little sci-fi movies. Nice bizarre synth soundtrack.
