The cast of TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE are looking down on you in these new posters
May 22
One could argue that too many people look up to the Twilight saga, but there’s no denying the series has one hell of a following. The marketing team for the upcoming third instalment Eclipse decided to try something different for a recent run of posters by having the lead cast look down on the audience. I found it noticeably disorienting and kind of silly when I first saw them, but I’m sure they’re very exciting for fans. If you’re not bored shitless by horrendous dialogue, thin characters or lacklustre pacing, then I hardly think piss-poor Photoshop airbrushing or distracting composition in a poster are going to be a problem.
As a tool to convince people to see it, these posters are almost pointless. All they do is serve a reminder to non-fans that the film is about to be released and a ridiculous number of people are going to line-up and see it– they already know the date. It’s been marked on their calendars since it was announced. Twilight Eclipse opens 30 June worldwide (so, 1 July Down Under).
Ok, this movie is gonna make a shitload…they have some pretty damn good technical people aboard. Cant they hire a decent poster designer? i mean seriously put aside how shocking these movies are and compare it to how much its making. Its like their PURPOSELY making it look bad. Cmon the only thing going for that poster is the logo banner.
