These [pun-inspired film posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) by director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon present a satirical view of classic [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywoodthemed-games) movies. Each of the images was actually created for Gomez-Rejon's new movie called 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.'

Within this particular movie, the main characters create classic Hollywood movies into humorously phrased posters. The characters in the movie are actually very big film buffs, but they prefer to create their own movies, so they can make fun of others.

One particularly humorous poster is a remixed version of the iconic film Citizen Kane. The recreated poster is a watercolor, handmade piece of art featuring and an old man. The title of the poster reads "Senior Citizen Cane." Each poster has its own quirky aspects that poke lighthearted fun at timeless films.
