A new documentary film about movie poster artist Drew Struzan will premiere at ComicCon a week from tomorrow. (
Video link)
Struzan created many of the legendary poster images from the '70s through the '90s, until photomontage solutions took over. Struzan was and is a master of synthesizing the excitement, glamour, and acting personality of a film in a single image. When you first saw a Struzan poster, it made you want to go watch the film, and then once you experienced the film, the Struzan image lived as the symbol of the film in your mind's eye.
The documentary includes interviews with Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, Guillermo del Toro, Leonard Maltin and many others. It will release widely to theaters August 16.
