The Original Movie Posters Blog - Art of the Movies

2018's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" left us in a world where dinosaurs roamed the U.S. mainland.

We have to wait until 2021 for the final episode of the trilogy, but, in 2019, a new eight-minute short, "Battle At Big Rock" surfaced...

It's well worth a watch!

How many times did you visit the cinema in 2019? We averaged a couple of times a month. Given what we do, I imagine that's not a surprise.

What about the average cinema goer? How has that changed over the past few years? 

We decided to do a little research with the help of the excellent UK Cinema Association. What we found was a surprising and fascinating story...

2019 has been a phenomenal year for the movie lover. Avengers: Endgame, Toy Story 4, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Joker and Frozen II led the way, with a whole host of fantastic films filling the screens around them.

With the return of James Bond, Doctor Dolittle and Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, 2020 looks set to be another great one.

So, here are our pick of the trailers for the first half of 2020...

It is here at last! The first official trailer for Bond 25 - "No Time To Die".

Now widely believed to be Daniel Craig's final outing as 007, the trailer shows Bond retired, a relic in a fast moving modern world, but maybe, just maybe, he could be the one to save us...

Watch the trailer here...

As our favourite movie of the year becomes the first ‘R’ rated film to take $1B at the box office, rumours abound of a possible sequel.

The movie posters for the film have been in high demand and the studio, agencies and distributors have excelled with some stunning images, using both art-house film-stills and illustration from some fantastic contemporary artists.

In this week’s blog post, we pull together the ones we have found, and those that still elude us…

A little under two months before it hits the big screen, Lucasfilm have released the final trailer and release poster for the last episode of the Star Wars Saga - "The Rise of Skywalker"

See them both here!

2019 has already delivered some of the biggest films of recent years. April gave us Marvel's Avengers: Endgame. Summer gave us the highly anticipated Toy Story 4, The Lion King and Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and as I write this, the astonishing Joker has just hit the big screen.

Here are our pick (with all the trailers) of the Autumn and Winter releases! 

This month the jury of the 76th Venice Film Festival announced the winner of their highest honour, the Golden Lion.

Alongside Cannes' Palme d'Or and Berlin's Golden Bear, the Golden Lion is among the elite of European film awards.

So, the jury's announcement that the Golden Lion was won by Todd Philip's "Joker" was all the more amazing...

Back in January, we reported that Netflix and The Jim Henson Company were working on a prequel series to 1982’s fantasy adventure “The Dark Crystal”. For those too young to have seen the original film, it introduced groundbreaking puppetry to create Thra, a magical planet populated with amazing alien creatures such as Geflings, Skeksis and urRus, battling for control of a powerful Crystal.

Netflix have now announced the series will premier on 30th August. You can find out more (including all of the incredible trailers) here...

On Saturday, attendees to Disney's D23 Expo were treated to a “special look” teaser preview for December’s “Star Wars Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker".

Today, it dropped for the rest of us.

We have been treated to a glimpse of a new poster too...

Enjoy!

2019 is shaping up to be a fantastic year at the movies. From now until mid August, there is a blockbuster release a week, and some great movie posters to go with them.

To whet your appetite, here are all the trailers for our pick of the big Summer hits...

2019 is shaping up to be a cinema / movie theatre classic.

We have the Avengers currently breaking global box office records. In December we have the final chapter of the 'Skywalker Saga'.

Between the two we have 'Joker' which, even from the single trailer yet released, looks set to be a classic.

But, coolest film release of the year will probably go to Quentin Tarantino...
