25 Imaginative Illustrations Inspired By Film
Posted by Andrew Lindstrom / Lists / April 16th, 2009
For the most part, being both a film geek and design geek are two completely separate interests of mine that rarely coexist. Occasionally I’ll be enticed by a great poster design, or appreciate the font choice in a title sequence – but usually the two worlds never collide.
However, lately I’ve noticed a trend of artists and designers paying homage to their favorite films in their own creative way. Whether it be the re-imagining of a film’s poster or the designing of a cover for a film’s novelization; I simply can’t get enough of this stuff.
It is in admiration of this movement that I’ve hand picked my favorite 25 Imaginative Illustrations Inspired By Film. Hope you like them.

I know someone else commented, but ‘Starring Ernie Hudson’ has me very confused about that ‘I Can Read Movies’ series.
Brilliant post though, lovely work.

absolutely amazing, i pine for posters like these
These are excellent!
They should be on Louvre
I like a few of them like the fight club poster, but a number of them just don’t feel like illustrations to me like the ghostbusters one for instance. It just feels like a graphic designer needed to fill the space but didn’t have time to do or get an illustration so they just made a few shapes that resemble something from the movie.
Just could have done so much more with it in my opinion I guess.
Great compilation!! I love this blog! Congrats… I’m from Caracas btw 🙂
Wow Andrew, this post is great, you did your research. Keep them coming.
Rain Man, Die Hard, and Groundhog Day posters were very smart!
graphic designers would be f**ked without Saul Bass
Really impressive.
Modern movie posters should be this beautiful.
Excellent sharing about imaginative illustrations!!!Thanks for ur sharing..
I love how Ghostbusters is starring Ernie Hudson….? I didnt know he was such a huge star?
The Die Hard poster has to be my favorite. I vivdly remember the scene where he takes his shoes off to scratch his toe in the bathroom. Then those terrorists realize it and shoot all of the glass. The scene made me feel nautious as hed ahd to pull the glass shards from his toes. OUCH!
