Holy One Sheet!
Looks like it’s either going to be so audacious as to be a major event or so audacious that it loses 85% of the audience… we soon shall see…

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”
~ Harlan Ellison Takes In Star Trek: Into Darkness
“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell

This style was brought to you by: Ocean’s Thirteen! Coming June 2007!
The question is, do they want the audience that’s already seen Casablanca, or the audience who hasn’t?
Has to be my favorite poster in quite some time. It echoes my favorite films, 30s and 40s noir. I don’t know if they are comparing Clooney’s character to Bogart but if they are they have a lot of work to do. I gotta say that I’m intrigued.
I second that. It’s nice to see a one-sheet that hits its target so spot on.
A very lovely poster. And 90% of the audience will be turned off, as it is by any poster with a retro style.
Anybody remember the Out of Sight posters? Same people, same approach to the poster, same problem.
“Out of Sight” was retro, but original (and still a favorite of mine). This one seems like a carbon copy of 100 other posters. I don’t see the fuss over it.
Why do I suddenly feel like watching “Casablanca”?
Most posters are plain and ordinary with likeness of the movie’s star(s) as the character…and that’s about it. Art film posters are usually better. But this one is freakin’ sweat. I dig it, I know it’ll alienate some people but it looks like a breath of fresh air.
BUT, the best Soderbergh movie poster is still THE LIMEY. I had that up on my wall for years.
Soderbergh’s key art always kicks so much ass. The original Ocean’s 11 teaser, the Out of Sight one-sheet (voted one of the best ever in some publication, probably EW), The Limey, etc. Such great, classy taste.
Hopscotch, I hope you mean “sweet”.
And I thoroughly agree, a fantastic poster. I am now very intrigued for the film.
Nice and attractive, but would have been prettier if it was drawn as opposed to photo-shopped heads.
Seems this has been kicking around for a few weeks though. I wonder why they “officially” sent it out just today.
I’m surprised this leaked so early:
http://mp.aol.com/audio.index.adp?mxid=1723398
“You Know My Name”–the theme song for “Casino Royale”.
That poster rocks! Clooney looks like Davis Straithairn though.
David Straithairn…that was…and however you spell it.
I like watching George Clooney. And the poster is nice too. I like noir of it.
I hope this is the classic Hollywood entertainment that it promises to be (by the poster). Clooney gets much atention for his politics, but as a leading man in a solid film he is actually quite compelling.
Love the poster.
So did I, Hopscotch! At least, in college. And signed by Stamp, to boot.
And let’s not forget the movie’s in glorious black-and-white, so it’s completely appropriate.
It’s okay I guess
I’m surprised they didn’t retitle the movie Berlin or wherever it’s set. And that tagline is horrible. And I don’t like the red heads down the side. That looks awfully photoshopped.
Something just doesn’t feel right. Like they’re saying “WE’RE AS GOOD AS CASABLANCA (and don’t you forget it)!!!”
But still, if your black and white post-ww2 romantic thriller is gonna ape the style of any movie it may as well be Casablanca, right?
I wish more movies were in black and white though.
Does nobody else think there might be something ironic going on with this design? Soderbergh is too smart of a guy to blatantly invite comparisons with Casablanca unless he was intending to play with those expectations.
Am I an idiot or does it look like a young Anette O’Toole is staring at me?
so is this a prequel to Pleasantville?
Ooh, Tobey’s character returns to the 1950s to attend his sister’s wedding, but he accidentally goes back a decade too far and gets involved in spy intrigue and George Clooney’s dreamy eyes.
