This year has produced a glorious array of movie posters, and although there was plenty to admire in the brash marketing of big budget franchise fare - there was some interesting work around Tron: Ares and Thunderbolts, for example - it's perhaps telling that the most eye-catching creativity can be found promoting lower budget films that don't have recognisable IP to fall back on.
My excitement for the Wicked sequel posters has been an emotional rollercoaster of excitement, slowly descending into disappointment. Like the stages of grief, I was initially in denial about the quality of the designs, hoping for redemption. Now, in a state of sad acceptance, I present the latest abomination. While I was never expecting the Wicked: For Good posters to join the ranks of some of the best movie posters of all time, I was hoping for a least a sprinkle of magic. The reality has been a slew of Photoshop bodge jobs and soulless CGI that leaves me feeling anxious for the upcoming release.
