Merrick here...
…with a look at a poster for Martin Scorsese’s THE DEPARTED (a remake of the HK crime opus INFERNAL AFFAIRS) .
Can’t say it’s a terribly exciting poster. Harry says the logo design at the end of the film’s trailer would be a fantastic teaser image, and I agree wholeheartedly.
But…this? This feels like they were going for a retro feel, and waayyyy missed the mark. Ended up with something that looked cheap instead of evocative. It reminds me of the title sequences for BARNABY JONES or THE STREETS OF SAN FRANSISCO. “The Departed – A Quinn Martin Production! (in Color)”. Whatever.
Ah, well…here it is. Decide for yourself!
