If you’ve been following /Film for a while, then you know that we love minimalistic movie posters. But these concept posters by graphic designer Jamie Bolton are probably the most sparse we’ve seen so far (and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing — I’d love to hear your thoughts). After the jump, I’ve included Bolton’s posters for Star Wars, The Shining, Jurassic Park, Blade Runner, and the Back to the Future Trilogy.

He is also selling prints of the posters, printed on Canon A3 Matte Paper (although the size isn’t listed) for £10.00 on Shoot the Glass.

  • These are fantastic, but I don't get the Shining...anybody?
  • Ethan
    The Green circle in the ROTJ poster is supposed to be Endor i think, with the grey circle representing the death star.

    back to the future is the only time-traveling series to ever have scientific approval
  • Jemedia
    These back to the future posters really suck... They have really nothing to do with the movies. Can hardly find anything cool about them. Sorry.
  • joenostalgia
    The Blade Runner one... IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
    It bring me to tears... in the rain. *wink-wink*
  • He-Dan
    Is the third one correct? 1955 to 1855 to 1985? So line should start in the middle, go back and then go past the first point.
    Very cool posters though!
  • AnantPr
    The Back To The Future ones are definitely the best.
  • helicoptahs
    I haven't looked at the comments section on this site in awhile, and man, there are a ton of trolls on here now.
  • ezgoo
    loving and buying the Jurassic Park poster!!
  • The FilmFreak
    I remember this guy, he made a amazing oldboy poster that was just beautiful
  • iec
    awesome. similar to Olly Moss.
  • clarence somerset
    Anyone can explain the Jurassic Park one?
  • mirrorrim
    There is a scene in the movie where you can see ripples in a glass of water signaling that T Rex is coming towards the characters. The first real "scare/suspenseful" scene of the movie.
  • Harmonica
    They don't sell the movie (which is what posters are supposed to do), but the ones for Jurassic Park and Blade Runner are fantastic.
  • I wonder if Mr. Bolton has seen the XKCD graphical representation of PRIMER?
    Kudos for minimalism.
  • simalex2000
    i was thinking the exact same thing.
  • Genius absolute genius, I especially love the back to the future ones....although there are more then just 2 alternate 1985s....still great work!
  • wjoeyu
    someone explain to me star wars. i get that that's the death star, but i'm lost outside of that.
  • guest
    Star Wars is the rebels attacking the death star. The Red arrow is Luke 'Red 5'.

    ESB death star being built 'off screen' I assume with the Empire on the offensive. ROTJ is the death star cover in a shield perhaps with the rebels and the empire engaging in battle. It should probably be half completed also and have a smaller circle next to in indicating Endor. Everything i just typed is incredibly nerdy.

    One thing I just noticed TESB and ROTJ both have "A George Lucas Film" I think they should have their respective directors over Lucas. I'd probably buy them otherwise.
  • son_of_el_topo
    the white triangles are the rebels. if you look at the triangles like the numbers on a clock, then the red one is 5. luke skywalker is Red 5.
  • Who Ha
    Wow. Thanks. I caught the single fighter/Luke, but the clock/Red 5 connection is outstanding.
  • Wow, that was really in depth, I needed help on that one too.
  • Jo Strood
    you act like you are five. get a life and stop posting on everyone else's posts.
  • Douche.
  • Brendan McCue
    I'm going to guess, given that they are printed on A3 Paper that they will be A3 sized, or 11x 17 inches
  • These are beautiful; I could see the Shining one being used for a Criterion release cover or something. The BTTF ones are trying a bit too hard to be clever, imo. They end up looking more like hipster t-shirt designs.
  • GeradDePoopoo
    from left to right dots go...1885, 1955, 1985, and whatever year Biffs crazy future was...the dot that is off the mark is the crazy 1985 Marty went back to that had the Principal shooting at everyone...it all makes sense..
  • cmar92
    i just saw Blade Runner recently so I'm embarrassed that I don't understand the poster. Could someone explain it?
  • Read the comment directly above yours.
  • damnitall
    Oh clever. I thought it just was meant to represent normal humans and then the few replicants hiding among them. But that is even more interesting.
  • Could actually be a combination of both of those ideas.
  • cmar92
    oh wow. that is very edgy but awesome
  • Mr_Vengeance
    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.
  • I'm digging the clever simplicity of the Back to the Future posters, but isn't the one for Part III inaccurate? Shouldn't it start on the second dot, curve around to the first, and just end there?
  • Spandau Belly
    If the dots are in chronological order, starting in 1955, going back to 1885, and then forward to 1985, it makes sense. The starting point is a little disorienting though.
  • eedeesee
    OLEG LIVES!
  • Oh I see. They didn't curve it the other way since the dot representing the alternate timeline would've thrown off the flow of the design. Got it.

    Still, wasn't the ending of Back to the Future: Part III open-ended? I stand by my original suggestion.
  • Hunter
    you're right. The Back to the Future III Poster is definitely wrong. 1955>1885>1985
  • Square
    (But that would be a spoiler)
  • Spandau Belly
    Was it? I mean, insofar as it's related to the poster, the movie ends in 1985. It might be interesting if there was another line veering off from 1985 into god knows where, representing Doc Brown's psychotic skytrain ride.
  • inteliboy
    love it. this minimalist cover/poster trend is getting old - but this guys stuff is genius.
  • simmy25
    yeah, people should go back to making ugly floating heads posters

    please
  • inteliboy
    not what I meant.

    if you look around - you'll see hundreds of these things on the net, it's a trend that took off a year or so ago... and it's great to see this guy pulling off A+ stuff that sits above from the pack.
  • zak
    the blade runner one is amazing
  • son_of_el_topo
    completely agreed.
  • Jo Strood
    completely disagree. son of el idiot.
  • Wow, you're a douchebag, shut up.

    Are they supposed to be tears in the rain?
  • Son_of_el_topo
    you are so stupid. stop posting on my genius references. get a life you stupid man child.
  • A3 is approximately B in US paper sizes.
  • son_of_el_topo
    i love this guy's other stuff, but the Back to the Future posters are a little bit much... or less as the case may be.
