The movie poster can make as big of an impact as the film they are for and can leave a lasting mark on you or your bedroom walls. The poster gives a taster of what is to come and teases you of stars and plot points which you might not fully realize until you see the final film at the cinema.
From Top Gun Maverick to Barbarian 2022 was a great year for movies and also a great year for movie posters. There have been iconic images, like the poster for Nope with shows Daniel Kaluya looking to the sky or the kaleidoscopic illustration for Everything Everywhere All At Once below we are going to showcase some of the very best movie posters of 2022.
BLONDE
The Marilyn Monroe biopic starring Hollywood’s hottest leading actress Ana de Armas as the troubled movie icon was not for everyone but one thing that cannot be denied is the undeniably stunning poster which was released for the film.
TÁR
It had been 16 years since Todd Field released his last film “Little Children” in cinemas but 2022 marked his return with the masterful film TÁR, which stars Cate Blanchett in a career best performance as the problematic conductor and the poster is as bold as the film itself.
BARBARIAN
The indie horror about a double booking of Airbnb with surprising turns and deadly consequences was a breakout hit in 2022 and the poster which pays homage to the 1970’s giallo films really captures the terror of the movie.
TOP GUN: MAVERICK
The idea of a sequel to Top Gun nearly 30 years after the original wasn’t something the audiences were particularly calling out for, but when it arrived last summer it was met with great enthusiasm by critics and movie goers alike. The poster which shows Tom Crusie looking to the sky was all that was needed to convince us that we did need another Top Gun in our lives.
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
2022 was a big year for the multiverse with Everything Everywhere All At Once coming mere months after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The psychedelic poster for Everything Everywhere All At Once perfectly embodies a movie brimming with creativity.
NOPE
The highly anticipated third film from director Jordan Peele might not have hit the impossible heights of “Get Out” but was still a fantastic modern alien invasion movie. The simple but striking image of Daniel Kaluyas OJ looking to the sky was all that was needed to hook us in.
SHE SAID
The #MeToo drama about the exposing of sexual abuse allegations against the most powerful of Hollywood producers was a great tribute to journalism. The poster makes a nod to 2017 Best Picture winner “Spotlight” in its serious but understated design.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO
Lastly, Guillermo del Toro is a master of dark fantasy and his latest movie, a reimagining of classic tale Pinocchio is another beautiful masterpiece from the Mexican director. The film’s poster is just a hint towards the magic that is to come from this fantastic film.
