OBS PRESENTS: MOVIE POSTERS FOR ‘PERCY JACKSON’S THE LIGHTNING THIEF’

Brought to you by OBS Staff member Krystal

Here at Open Book Society we like to see things from every angle. Movie posters are what sells people’s opinions of a film and like a book cover it has to be appealing. Also like books, movie posters can look differently depending on where they are made. Whole campaigns revolve around films, everything from viral web content to poster’s for every character in the movie.

International Poster – Brazilian Version

It’s the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson’s Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they’re not happy: Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy’s mother. As Percy adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mt. Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy’s mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves. ~ ComingSoon.net

I love all of these posters. This campaign had such a good use of color and mythology to play with. Despite the majority of the pallete being blue, I don’t feel overwhelmed by the color. The great use of yellow and orange in the backgrounds of some posters really created a good contrast between light and dark

Which ones do you like and have you seen the movie yet?
