It's the holidays dude! Going out on New Year's Eve is for suckers*

If we get more than 20 entries I will try to find some extra piece of cool exclusive swag to throw in for the grand prize winner. :D

*and by suckers I mean young people

Sweet, gotta love more swag. Hmm if there is more competition I might actually have to make a good entry. Ideas, ideas.

I was only messing about. Thought you would have been more busy with your work (scriptwriting). But then again I don't know the process of making a film, so yeah :p

I tried jumping beside a stopped bus with a Book of Eli (I think it said dELIver) but it took off as I snapped a shitty cell phone pic. I'm going to Avatar tonight though so maybe... Maybe.

Okay, I went to Avatar again last night but got there a little late since it was all of -5 with the windchill so I kept putting off going outside. I looked for a poster but didn't see one on my side of the theatre and once the movie was over, I dashed home.

Soooo, no poster yet. I did snap this with my phone though.. turned out pretty badass. :lol

Saw the poster on side of a London Bus today...but my fingers were too numb from the freeze to take a picture. But I'll keep my eyes peeled (and gloves on) tommorow. :D

No chance your shirt is a Stereophonics reference, right?

I didn't see this thread before today but my eyes will now be peeled!

No. The shirt is from an English motivational poster originally made for WW2 but never used until it was rediscovered in 2000. Stereophonics took it from that.

And I saw billboards all over NYC this past weekend and one of our two big theaters where I actually live has one up.

That's me in front of the German version of the poster:

7087452.03495b46.jpg



It's taken in the Cinecitta in Nuremberg, which claims to be "the most successful multiplex cinema in Germany".
There are many posters of movies to be released months in the future, but of course I was looking out for other promo material of The Book of Eli.
I found two other posters that use the same picture but in different formats:

7087451.b8424724.jpg


7087450.ce70f4b3.jpg


By the way, the tagline "Die Zukunft der Welt liegt in seinen Händen" means "the future of the world lies in his hands".


I'm sorry that I forgot to take a good closeup of your credit on the poster.
That's the best I could get from the pictures:

It's supposed to say "DREHBUCH" (German for "screenplay").

So you know how some people pretend that your Avatar is saying whatever you post?

ALRIGHT GARY.

I went all out.

not only did i find an eli poster, but i found the eli shop!

and i wasnt sure what would net me more points: me blatantly advertising the movie with my free eli shirt (which ill be wearing all day), or dressing up as eli as best i could and imitating this pose:

SO I DID BOTH:

Congrats to all! PM me your details and let me know how you want your soundtrack prize - personally I recommend the iTunes version as it comes with the four exclusive tracks but if you want the CD that's fine!
