A Movie poster for the 'UNDEREXPOSED! The 50 greatest movies never made' by Joshua Hull
in collab with PosterSpy
"The untold stories behind the 50 greatest movies never made, illustrated by 50 new and original posters"
I was asked to create a poster for the never-made Stanley Kubrick’s Lord of the Rings film, starring the Beatles. This poster was included in the 'UNDEREXPOSED! The 50 greatest movies never made' book written by Joshua Hull.
I wanted to keep it simple and intriguing, my main inspiration for the design was '70-'80s movie posters. It was made in Adobe Photoshop with XP-Pen drawing tablet.
Book is available for pre-order on Amazon

ABOUT THE BOOK:
"For most films, it’s a long, strange road from concept to screen, and sometimes those roads lead to dead ends. In Underexposed! The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made, screenwriter and filmmaker Joshua Hull guides readers through development hell. With humor and reverence, Hull details the speed bumps and roadblocks that kept these films from ever reaching the silver screen. From the misguided and rejected, like Stanley Kubrick’s Lord of the Rings starring the Beatles; to films that changed hands and pulled a U-turn in development, like Steven Spielberg’s planned Oldboy adaptation starring Will Smith; to would-be masterpieces that might still see the light of day, like Guillermo del Toro’s In the Mountains of Madness, Hull discusses plotlines, rumored casting, and more.
