THE PLAYING CARD 12/30/2006 at 12:53 PM

I never get tired of these and I hope you don't. This concept, while obvious,
is still fantastically rendered. It's probably a little too jam-packed with stuff.
A little too cluttered and it doesn't give you a clear enough sense of the film.
But I really dig the graphic treatment and the kind of mild distressing they did.
So I'm going to start firing these out every other day until I run my files dry.

Also, keep asking questions and I'll keep posting answers until CHUD catches
up with us.

ps Roxana! Great shot of that bus in London with the 'Smokin' Aces' advert. I
owe your sister big!

Anyway to get some of these fantastic posters in paper? Nice seeing the digital version, but would be nicer hung on the wall !!

I'm loving this one! I Just might you this for the background of my Myspace page lol. I have a question. What advice would you give to young aspiring directors/producers (like myself) who look up to you as their romodel for film making? Happy New Year's!

Yo Joe,
So who is designing these posters?
Do you participate in designing them and get to choose wich one they use? Or is it up to the studio?

cheers

I'd love to see an action film that combines the gut-smashing, foul-mouthed power of a Bruckheimer production with the erudite sensibility of a BBC costume drama:

Tarquin: Aargh! You shot me, you motherfucker!

Julian: Sir, you insult me!

Tarquin: I do so ask your forgiveness, sir. But it seems that you have shot me in the thigh and so did feel predisposed to call you 'motherfucker'.

Tarquin: So you did, sir, and I recognise your plight and I apologise forthwith.

(gunfire)

Julian: Fucking hell, sir! You've just shot me again!

Tarquin: I did so, sir, as you are, I declare, a drug-dealing son of a bitch.

Julian: How rude you are to describe me in such a way, sir! From your character I took you as a man of integrity and respectable bearing. I see that I was wrong.

Tarquin: Have a care, sir, for you bleed on my carpet.

Julian: Oh! I immediately regret it. I conduct my affairs to the best of my ability and I have never felt the need to bleed most dishonourably on anyone's carpet. A lovely pattern, sir, I'll warrant you.

(Police car smashes through the verandah. Sgt. Fitzbarren-Smythe leaps out and brandishes his shotgun)

Fitzbarren-Smythe: Hit the floor, motherfuckers!

Tarquin and Julian: SIR!

Fitzbarren-Smythe: (lowers shotgun) I do so, apologise for my forward approach. In keeping the law one must sometime use brusque language in the course of my duties. Sir - he's bleeding on your carpet.

Tarquin: I know. But I am a man with a heart that overlooks the failings of my enemies and embraces them even in the face of their most extreme behaviour. Come Sergeant, come sir, I have mulberry wine and Battenberg cake on the table. Join me and let us look upon a questionable past and anticipate a glowing future...

Fitzbarren-Smythe: I accept your invitation, sir.

Julian: Sir, may I say that you are, indeed a man of breeding and intellect, and also...one of the best motherfuckers I've ever met!

Tarquin: (laughs) Thank you, sir! And you may have leave to bleed upon my carpet!

(They all meet at the table and share glasses of wine. Cue rising cellos and Oscars all round)

Thanks!!! You just made my day. The playing card is my poster design. It was in the running for a while but things went another way. I really appreciate your comments regarding it. I'm also glad people out there get the chance to see the rest of the cool stuff that didn't go to print. Thank you again sir!!!

Ya know, the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) in Ohio can make custom decks!!! Minimum of 5 or 10 thousand though. This would make a killer deck!!!
