EDIT: Some new ground rules for what looks like it may morph into a popular thread:
1: Please post a link to the script your poster is promoting. 2: Please do not put up posters for scripts that are not available here at Simply Scripts. 3: Posters for Works in Progress are OK as long as they are not, like, months in advance. 4: Try to keep chatter to a minimum. Let's try to keep most of the posts actual posters. If you really dig one, send the artist a PM. 5: No "fantasy casts", please. People will make fun of you, and then I'll have to clean up the thread. 6: Drop me a PM if you would like your poster to appear on the thread for your script, on the original post, beneath the logline. 7: One poster per script, please. Pick one and go with it. 7.5: More rules may come later.
I know that some folks around here have created Movie Posters for their scripts -- they are fun and interesting and a cheap plug all rolled into one.
I saw one recently that convinced me maybe these little works of art need a home of their own.
Phil (Janet, actually, but let's not split hairs ) has worked up a real humdinger for "Druid", and I thought it might inspire some other people around here to create one for their own scripts.
I love looking at these, personally. I'm gonna toss up one of my own, too, but it isn't nearly as nice as this one.
If you make a poster for your script, put it here so folks can see it. Or if you have already made one that nobody has seen yet, toss it up.
This is an incomplete image, taken from my website where my Goonies Never Say Die script is posted. I had originally wanted to add some of the characters onto the train hanging onto dear life, but I couldn't accomplish that on my own, sadly. But, there's enough here to imply what my script entails... anyone whose ever been to Old Sacramento will recognise this image, as it's been borrowed from there. I love old trains and the railway museum there.
I am going to have to learn that Photoshop software. I am really impressed with some of the other entries on here. "Double Carnage" is just outstanding, isn't it?

Love it, Bert! Loved this script too. Great posters from you, mister
Here's something I made a while back for fun, but it also compares to my script Final Destination 4:
The text is a bit small because I don't have the original copy, but at the top it says: "No matter where you are...Death is always around you." And at the bottom it says "Don't Look Down 2009"
Just something I messed with because I was bored. Kill Ride.
This is a script that I look back at and am like, "So...how did I think that this was a good idea?" Haha well, maybe it was a good idea, but I just screwed it up.

I popped Sniper's poster for "Second Draft" into his script today -- on Don's original #0 post for the thread -- and since people are going through the trouble to make these -- and I really quite like them -- I will do that for anybody if they ask.
Drop me a PM -- and be sure to include a link to the poster -- and I will drop it in whenever I get around to it.
Stuck for inspiration on my Scarefest script I decided to make the poster to see if it would get any creative thinking going. Reminds me of Ed Wood, "Is there a script?"...... "F**k no, but there's a poster!".
Anyway, here is my poster for my Scarefest entry - Blood Drive.
Sorry for going a little bit off topic Bert but if anyone is looking for some cool fonts to use on their posters, you can download a bunch of really nice fonts here:

The posters look great! I can't wait to read the other Scarefest entries. I debated whether I should do one or not (and I've tried before but nothing really worked out), and finally I got a poster idea and did it. So here it is:
Thanks all, and yes the poster/film is legit. It will be playing at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner in the next couple weeks in the hope that it will get picked up, either for a collective dvd or to turn into a feature.
The IMDb listing is also legit, but that project is still in the somewhat early stages. (Please refrain from posting on the message board for it at this time.)
Sorry for not telling you guys sooner. I guess I just like to keep things under wraps for the most part.
Is the script on here or removed? But I'm surprised in the the play director. I thought I knew her from somewhere. Congrats, you moving on up, hopefully.

An earlier draft of the script (originally titled Expiration Date) can be found here. The premise stayed the same, but it was extended and more characters were added in later drafts.
Tried to make this look as degraded as possible, have the old late 80's video store feel and look. Heh, it's weak but I am so sick of reading and rewriting this frickin' thing I needed to do something different!! Nice one Jwent6688 for reviving this classic thread, some awesome art posters in here that I'd never seen. That "Bad Penguin" one is mindblowing.
* Thanks for the heads up Brett, hope the link works now. Your ZP poster is immense!
I know the rules say don't post a poster if the script isn't posted here, but perhaps this could be an exception since a lot of SS members read the script and provided valuable feedback and also because the poster was made by Sean. My favorite young artist!!

I have taken the script down from here, but plenty of people gave me a lot of input on this one. It was a 7WC script. It should be released any day now.
For the Scriptshadow submission... My partner and I revamped the poster design for Clone Wife. Took out the coverage reviews, make it look less like a pitch con deal.
Thought it might help boost our high concept story to Carson.
LATEST NEWS CineVita Films is producing a short based on my new feature!
SO. I also like graphic making, if anyone needs anything then hit me up and I shall let you guys know if I can make your script something/if I have time.
Anyways, the above poster is a teaser for an independent I am writing, it's another drama feature with a much grittier story to it, although the poster may betray that statement itself.
The "Paramount" logo is obviously just there to add to the effect of making it "real."
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
I could make fake posters for my screenplays all day, but I also pretend I'm on fake interviews about them when I'm in the shower too, so I'm just weird. Here's the poster for my newly revised screenplay Fried!
The BOTTOM is for my feature I'm going to be rewriting soon (first 50 pages are available in WIP) -- I do not dream-cast things, but I needed stuff for the credits and to fill up white-space on the poster. Hopefully nobody tells me off for it.
The TOP isn't really a poster, more a logo for a short I finished yesterday and will be submitting when submissions reopen.

A REVISED VERSION! Hopefully better than the draft I had posted up

A feature length film I wrote called "The Suicide Theory" that was posted on this site four years ago. It's nearing the end of post production. Shot in Gold Coast, Australia, directed by Dru Brown (Sleeper - the horror film) and starring Steve Mouzakis (Where the Wild Things Are & I, Frankenstein).
LOGLINE: A suicidal man hires a professional killer to euthanize him, but for some reason, miraculously survives each attempt on his life.
Here's a 30 second first look sneak peak... the official teaser trailer will be up within the next week or so.
A short of mine, "When It Was Bliss" was discovered on her and begins filming on August 3rd for a 2 day shoot. I had some spare time and whipped this together. I was going for blissful independent indie vibe.
Just to clarify, I don't use any downloaded software, all my graphics are made using online web-based photo editing sites.

Here's my some posters I threw together, one for my most recent new feature on SimplyScripts, Static Town. The other is for a script I wrote a few years ago, I'm almost done a rewrite and should have it up soon!
So this is my movie poster. I consider myself quite lucky because the director of this lives on Long Island and is shooting it here over the weekend. That mean I will be on set with the actors and crew, watching the process, watching them breathe life into my script! I also had the pleasure of attending a table read in NYC last week.
I know a lot of writers get their stuff made but don't get the opportunity to watch the process first hand. It's been fun and educational so far! Will share some stills when they come in, as well as the finished product.
Promo poster for my feature film as it heads to Austin for the Austin Film Festival. Screening on opening night, October 23rd and again on the 27th. So excited to go Austin for the festivities!
I think that last poster is almost pro. No, not like a prostitute. Especially not like the ones round here, Fussy feckers,
Anyway, I mean if the font at the top was slightly larger it would be better. I'm gonna stop typing now as I feel another poorly formed joke coming on. Steady....
