We're coming out of a dark period for movie posters, when promo art for new pictures almost always consisted of a bunch of celebrity faces photoshopped into a crappy pastiche. Then there was the period where all comedy posters featured the stars against a white background with red letters. There's still some awful (and frequently hilarious) crap hanging in the hallways of your local cineplex, but a handful of Hollywood art directors are getting a serious bug up their ass. And there's at least one or two execs cool enough to sign off on their work.

My wife and I recently saw a movie at Block E, and I thought up a great movie premise (so you have to pitch this for me when you move back to LA):
A movie theater manager goes insane and takes to kidnapping nubile, young women and placing them in his maze of horrors, which he has constructed out of standing cardboard promotional displays.
