EXCLUSIVE: 'The Bank Job' Poster Premiere!
Filed under: Action, Drama, Lionsgate Films, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Posters
Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for The Bank Job (click on the image for a larger version), starring Jason Statham and the beautiful Saffron Burrows (whose name always makes me hungry for some odd reason). Love the premise for this one; check it out (from the synopsis): "In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London's Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth millions and millions of pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then suddenly disappeared - the result of a UK Government 'D' Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden in those boxes, involving murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved."
Statham plays a car dealer with a shady past who gets roped into the whole ordeal. And we all know what happens when Statham gets behind the wheels of a car. I've heard this story before, and I'm definitely hungry for an old school cool heist flick with a British twist. Hopefully The Bank Job will prove to be both satisfying and compelling when it arrives in theaters on March 7.

Fantastic retro job on the poster, reminiscent of 70's movies posters.

See Hollywood...how hard is it to let a cool poster go thru the "agents" & "Handlers"? The giant double head poster is not art and it's not helping your lame client. This poster is an exercise in simplicity and authentic coolness. Yes, it's retro only in the sense that the posters of old are about a thousand times cooler than any poster designed nowadays. It looks ice cold, gritty and stylish as hell with the cool car stuff in the refracted window. The overlit desaturated colors only enhance the coolness of this simple poster. Kudos to all those that allowed this to go and to the designer that did it.
