Design collaborative Wear It With Pride invited over 40 creatives to put their own spin on classic, cult, and otherwise obscure films through one of the more ubiquitous forms of commercial art, the poster. The result is Now Showing, a collection of prints, one-offs, and sculptures exploring the lost "art" of the movie poster. Currently appearing at Soho’s Cosh Gallery, the exhibition features the works of Veer faves Corey Holms, Marian Bantjes, Michael Gillette, Si Scott, Non Format, and many others.
Collectors of filmic ephemera rejoice … a number of the posters have been made available as limited edition giclée prints as well.

My favourite out of all of them has got to be Hellovon and Non Format’s poster for Planet of the Apes, although I have a soft spot for Logan’s Run.

I'm a little partial to the 8 1/2 poster, even though I don't understand what it means. Probably helps if you've seen the movie.

I just spotted the Bond ones in the bookstore, on the covers of Penguin's Ian Fleming reprints.
