Trailer: Drew - The Man Behind The Poster

The legendary Drew Struzan is one of my favourite movie poster artists. Most of his posters have become iconic, Back To The Future, Star Wars Special Editions, Indiana Jones, The Thing, ET and many more and puts the vast majority of todays movie posters to shame!

I would recommend getting 'Ouevre: Drew Struzan' the artbook that showcases his art in different sections; Music, Movies, Publishing, Commerical, and Personal. And here's a post I've done highlighting his art.

Here's the official trailer for the upcoming feature-length documentary, 'Drew: The Man Behind the Poster', highlighting the career of poster artist Drew Struzan, whose most popular works include the Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Star Wars movie posters. Telling the tale through exclusive interviews with George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Michael J. Fox, Frank Darabont, Guillermo del Toro, Steven Spielberg and many other filmmakers, artists and critics, the journey spans Drew’s early career in commercial and album cover art through his recent retirement as one of the most recognizable and influential movie poster artists of all time.

Three filmmakers have united to bring this film to life; Greg Boas (Hefty Inc.), Charles Ricciardi (Torino Pictures), and Erik P. Sharkey (Sharkey Productions), assembling one of the most intriguing film lineups and crafting a comprehensive presentation about the artist, the art, the stories behind Drew’s most recognizable creations, as well as a never-before-seen insider’s examination of the industry and the profession of motion picture advertising.
