While we dive deep into Hollywood’s poster offerings each month, looking at the best and worst studio-produced one-sheets, it’s time to put our money where our mouth is. At The Film Stage, we believe that if some care is taken, a poster can be a distinct creation onto itself to be observed and admired. Today is the return of our monthly feature, Alternate Art, in which the talented designer Midnight Marauder creates an original, alternate poster for one of the month’s releases.
This month is for Dan Gilroy‘s debut Nightcrawler, which hits theaters today and follows Jake Gyllenhaal‘s Lou Bloom, an overtly confident loner who is immersed into the Los Angeles nightly news system and simultaneous descent into savagery, reflected in the art below. Check it out below and one can read our review, a feature on the films to catch up on before Nightcrawler, and more here.
Nightcrawler is now in theaters.
