Movie posters have evolved—or devolved—from being works of art that captured the soul of a film to cookie-cutter templates that often feel like an afterthought. In this video, we explore the golden age of poster design, when films like The Shining, Jaws, and Star Wars used iconic visuals to complement their storytelling. We also dive into the modern trend of 'floating heads' and discuss why this uninspired approach has become the norm. But there’s still hope—some recent films like Everything Everywhere All at Once and Dune prove that creativity isn’t dead. Are we witnessing the death of the movie poster, or just a temporary lapse in artistry? Let’s find out.
