It's always so interesting when artists take it upon themselves to recreate a [movie poster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeposter) and graphic enthiusiast Midnight Marauder does just that with a [typographical twist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/markdown-to-poster-editor).

The posters the artist creates are among some of the best I've seen and definitely give the originals a run for their money. My favorite part is how they find a relative balance between the actors and actresses in the production, and the title. While each one maintains a different aesthetic, I'm particularly fond of the *Argo* one that places the movie title over the eyes of Ben Affleck; it's sharp and leaves so much to the imagination.

Check out the entire collection of posters from [Midnight Marauder](http://www.midnight-marauder.com), who continues to release new creations frequently.
