Movies They Should Make blog pitches films’ fake posters
Like 0 Retweet 0A Risky reader named Lisa tipped me to the Movies They Should Make blog, which has fun with devising posters for nonexistent movies that are designed around the wishful thinking of a movie fan.
There’s not much on the site at the moment, but what’s there gives you a pretty good idea of the concept, which is fairly well executed by using familiar elements to construct doctored one-sheets. And while the anonymous creator needs some help with spelling (John C. Reilly? Shia LeBeouf?), some of the bits are funny.
Like the Rupert Murdoch biopic starring Geoffrey Rush that drums out the tagline: “The Man. The Legend. The Son of a Bitch.”
Or Robert Pattinson and LaBeouf in the gay military drama titled, of course, “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.”
And describing “3001″ as the prequel to “2001.” Actually, I’m not sure if that’s a legitimate time-travel joke or a dumb mistake. No matter.
As for whether any of these should actually be made as claimed, well … we live in a world where a studio thought it was a good bet to spend $100 million on “Land of the Lost,” so why the hell not? And any movie that stars Kate Winslet, Christian Bale, Dakota Fanning and Christoph Waltz gets my money.
