Posted: 5/8/07 at 8:02pmThey are adorable, although I wish HAIRSPRAY was on one line.

Posted: 5/8/07 at 8:02pmMy general reaction was "Oooo... Shiny." I think that about sums it up.

They're very bright and cute, but I don't know how effective those will be in getting people into the theatre.
I hope they are, but they don't seem like they will be.

you waste no time neddy. :)
It makes sense to break it up- if you want the title to stand out. If it were connected it would be very small on a vertical poster.
The way the poster is now, helps it to be highly noticeable from greater distances.

Amber is my fav. Brittany is making the best face.
I am such a big fan of B-Snow, and she couldn't be sweeter.

They changed the Link poster from the ShoWest display in March- Link was doing a more full-out dance move in his Ladies Choice outfit.
However, this poster has more of a sexier result.

They sure are colorful enough. A nice contrast to all the black/chrome/earthy action movie posters of the summer.
Hairspray, Shrek and The Simpsons print material will stand out the most. I feel.

contract billing I assume.
some actors- if they cant get the top billing for a film, they will opt for last billing so they get a special "and" before their name.
I think that is why.

Posted: 5/8/07 at 10:48pmI understand that in the context of a trailer or on a poster with the full cast- it just seems weird on a poster that is supposed to stand on it's own. You know?

I guess no matter how they are displayed- she will always appear last.

Of everything...I'm thrilled to notice that both Velma and Amber are wearing authentic and period correct french stiletto heels. If you look at every single photograph (and film) from the early 60's, every single woman who is wearing heels has french stiletto heels on (that was the norm --- those pointy tips and needle-thin heels).
Unfortunately, this small detail is always overlooked by many unkeen eyes whenever a film is made taking place in the early 60's. Even in the original 1988 HAIRSPRAY film, this small detail was overlooked.
Kudos to the costume designers of this film as well as DOWN WITH LOVE and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN who didn't miss this in their costume design.
