G&T Photoshop Battle Reborn: Movie Posters

G&T Photoshop Battle Reborn

Note from the 'Dude':
Gentlemen and Gentlewomen, today marks the rebirth of something once held so very great. A long time ago, Captain K would hold photoshop contests. Great fun and amazement were had by all who viewed and entered. But sadly, as time went on these contests began to fade away. Today I aim to change that with a newly branded 'contest' like event. So gather round, ready your mice and wacoms and fire up your favorite image editing program. The battle for movie posters begins NOW.

VIDEO GAME MOVIE POSTERS
THE GOAL: Make a game and/or technology into a movie poster. DVD covers, Magazine adverts, and anything else that 'sells' the movie concept is also fine.
(Also, if there was a game turned movie like 'Alone in the dark' that you didn't like. Make a better poster for it!)

Quick Q&A:

Prizes?:
Prizes you ask? The only prize you will get will be that of glory and fame! Maybe carpal tunnel syndrome.

Will this one be properly archived?:
I would hope someone far better then I could archive the proceeding events for future generations to observe. Much like a good ol' wrestling match from the 1980's, I can only assume the children of the future would like to see what there ancestors had done in the past.

Rules?:
The only rule that really comes to mind is to follow the 'concept'. If you have a really cool video game movie poster and we are doing 'If video game character's had there own 80's hair metal bands, what would there album art look like?' then this probably isn't the time to post it. Oh, and maybe don't make the posters huge. If you want to make a super hi-res print out have an external link.

    Don't know if this counts since the game already has it's own movie, but I made these for the poster contest Sony was holding and lost out to some quick clone tool work and screencap from the movie with text placed on top... also disqualified because I was Canadian.

    To be honest, I have no idea why I did the majority of that.

    Whelp, I love these threads and here is my submission, it's probably been done somewhere before but here is my quick take on it. I know I'm not very good at photoshopping, i just wanted to get the idea across.

    It's bugging the fuck out of me that everything is so sharp, but unfortunately all my filters went bye bye when I switched computers. (Ideally I'd love to have some fakie creases and folds in there like the Bioshock poster done earlier)

    Obvious reference.

    Oh God I wish I had Photoshop skills.

    I'd certainly be doing the following:

    - Infamous
    - Prototype
    - Rock Band
    - Valkyria Chronicles
    - Uncharted

    Not that I'm making requests or anything...just throwing them out there...

    Also, I obviously have zero idea of what it actually says in small print on movie posters.

    Go nuts, no cap. But if you make 5 really bad ones in a row, then we might have to take away your keys and call you a cab.

    I'd see it as more of a teaser poster, seeing as it's going to be a hit summer movie...

    That said, still not sure whether I like it.

    EDIT: Also, I went for "overly dramatic" rather than fun. Which is probably what I'll do if I try another.

    I was toying with adding a tagline or something to this, but I think it stands well on its own. I probably need to do a bit more work on it to be really happy with it, but here we go.

    If someone could quote, that would be appreciated. :P

    You know I was just commenting the other day in the D&D [Chat] thread that these should come back after reading the ones in the Archives.

    Some of these are great. My quick&dirty favorite is Jack Black as El Fuerte but I love the Metal Gear one because I absolutely picture that to be the box cover to a Bolle movie.
