Three new posters have cropped up in the last twenty-four hours. One is only a design proposal, though it is probably the best of the bunch. The other two range from unimpressive photoshoppery to fairly well-done photoshoppery. Figure out which is which after the break.

First up is the new image for Law Abiding Citizen, premiered today as an exclusive at Cinematical. It’s not a terrible image for the revenge film per se, just an uninspired one as it simply mashes up the two previously-released character posters. I liked those individually, as they had a fun b-movie vibe, but this one isn’t capturing me. Click the image to get to the full version at Cinematical.

Next is the design proposal for an Australian Antichrist poster, via In Contention. This is a damn good image, appropriately uncomfortable and threatening. If you know some of the film’s secrets it is easily the most on the nose image we’ve seen for it so far, but for those who don’t know (and please, don’t reveal anything in the comments even though it’s pretty much common knowledge at this point) this scissors and faces design should be tantalizing and suggestive without giving anything away. I’d hang this on my wall, but I’m sick like that. (It could go right next to my poster for Cronenberg’s Crash.)

Finally, there’s the debut teaser poster for the Michael Jackson tour documentary This is It. I’ve got no love for the idea of this movie, and less interest in seeing it, but this is a pretty good image. It isn’t terribly over the top, nicely captures the same design sense we’ve seen from the last decade of Michael Jackson imagery, and therefore will be immediately recognizable as a promo for Jackson and the film. As these things go, it’s pretty solid.

  • That Antichrist poster is just plain obvious, like it came out of the rejected Saw 6 lineup. Maybe it's because I just didn't like the film very much, though.

    That Antichrist poster makes me shiver......oohhhhh....*shivers*

    i like the mj poster
    i liked it better when it was the jumper poster
    or even the vantage point poster

    I'm totally loving the Antichrist poster. In some ways, it's beautiful, but it creeps me out. The juxtaposition of sex and violence which I know, even though I haven't seen it, is abundant in this film is evident in this poster. To be honest, I think this new poster for Law-Abiding Citizen is nothing special and the one for This Is It is forgettable.
  • Considering I have only a vague knowledge of the incident invoked by the Anti-Christ poster I figure multiple ways that poster works. 10/10 for symbolism.

    Man, Law Abiding Citizen needs an awsome poster to go with that awsome trailer, this is just pathetic. I really like the Anti-Christ one, especially knowing the ending. I could give a rat's ass about the MJ one.
  • Oh man, when you know the context of that ANTICHRIST poster... ugh.... Much worse than any SAW poster.

    Is it wrong for a rich and successful man to have a sugar baby? is it right that she falls in love with a handsome and charming man? It's human nature for her to want a younger and more attractive partner. NOW crazy time!!!! (★★★Sugarloves.Com★★★ )!
  • I'm going to see THIS IS IT, but that poster could have used some more ingenuity. ANTICHRIST is an engaging poster, I love the gritty grunge without overdoing it like most horror posters. Less really is more.

    brother sent is not the comments , is lonely!!!!
    A place someone who can treat you as a king or who can spoil you like a queen, this is the great place. It's dedicated for those sugar daddies
    (★★★ Sugarloves.Com ★★★ )who are rich and successful to support and pamper women who will treat you like a king and for sugar babies who are attractive and young to seek a generous benefactor to mentor and take care of you.
  • Sugarloves.com??? Is that a viral for "Antichrist"?
  • Your comment>: I’ve got no love for the idea of this movie, and less interest in seeing it, but this is a pretty good image.

    God gave him a talent to use for the good of himself and the people. Why you sit back in your chair and get paid for idle talk? I don't know why? Nevertheless, I say to you that you should be writing how to love everybody. Hell is final and he ain't in it.... are you?

    I will be glad to see the movie?

    The Antichrist poster is nice, Its a really clever idea that if you were to bring the two faces together, you would also be closing the scissors' blade. Don't know anything bout the movie but the posters got me interested in it.
  • ib9wink
    Ditto.. then I read the synopsis on IMDB and got uninterested in it.
  • greggorybasore
    The poster for Law Abiding Citizen looks bland as hell, the one for Antichrist looks creepy and abstract, guess I'll have to see the movie to understand why it's so fitting an image. The one I like best is for the film I'm least interested in seeing, This Is It. It really does capture the style of MJ.
