The Brothers Bloom.

Drawing by me.  Everything else (read: turning a drawing into a bona-fide movie poster, from Font to Typeset to Layout to god-knows-what-else-this-entails-because-it’s-utterly-beyond-me) by Marke Johnson, The Made Shop.

My cousin Rian Johnson (the acclaimed Writer and Director of 2005’s BRICK) has recently finished his second feature film, The Brothers Bloom, which hits theaters this May.  It is a con man movie, and it is simply beautiful, adventurous, tragic, and utterly hilarious.  (If these inadequate adjectives feel worn and somewhat grab-bag, I assure you that I use them very intentionally, and not at all lightly.)  This film is, in my opinion, everything a movie should be.  And I unabashedly love it.

[..] Rian asked me to draw an unofficial poster for it — a sort of special treat for the fans and the people who made the film.  And so we endeavored to create a good old-fashioned Hollywood poster, like how they made them before Photoshop came along.

Anyway, here is the poster, and everyone who loves anything, or holds anything dear in this life, should see the film when it comes out.

Or at least anyone who loves great movies should.

Go read the rest of Zach’s post, where he talks about serbia, smoking, and artistic intimidation.
