# Chilling Movie Poster Recreations Mat Weller's Movie Poster Redesign Boasts an Unsettling Edge By Angela Rajic | Published 2013-12-08 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movie-poster-redesign References: [mightymega](http://mightymega.com/2013/12/04/terrific-alternative-movie-posters-from-mat-weller/) & [blurppy](http://blurppy.com/2013/09/11/exclusive-interview-artist-mat-wellers-work-is-as-unique-as-how-he-spells-his-first-name/) Designer Mat Weller has created a set of movie poster redesign artwork. The series includes a dark and dramatic Raiders of the Lost Ark, a minimalist Pacific Rim Post and a very eerie photo-negative Ghostbusters poster featuring a frightening looking Stay Puff'd Marshmallow Man. These posters give off a very different tone and emotional feel than the actual movies, most of which are fairly lighthearted adventure or action films. The design work is top-notch and the visuals are striking and memorable, especially the Marshmallow Man. This artwork is a great re-imagining of iconic Hollywood movies and sets. Weller's movie poster redesign work is innovative and striking, and hopefully we will get to see more movie poster re-imaginings in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dark Movie Poster Redesigns:** Creating dark and dramatic redesigns of iconic movie posters presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the world of graphic design and marketing. - **Minimalist Movie Poster Redesigns:** Exploring minimalist approaches to redesigning movie posters can disrupt the traditional visual aesthetics in the film industry and inspire new creative directions for marketing campaigns. - **Photo-negative Movie Poster Redesigns:** Using photo-negative effects in movie poster redesigns offers a unique and eerie visual perspective, opening up opportunities for innovative designs in the field of graphic arts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** The field of graphic design can benefit from incorporating dark and minimalist redesigns of movie posters, providing new avenues for creative expression and captivating audiences. - **Marketing and Advertising:** By embracing disruptive movie poster redesign techniques, the marketing and advertising industry can create attention-grabbing visuals that stand out from traditional promotional materials, attracting customers in new and intriguing ways. - **Film and Entertainment:** Exploring innovative and striking movie poster redesigns can enhance the visual appeal of films and create a fresh and enticing marketing approach to engage audiences, ultimately revolutionizing the film and entertainment industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md) - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Retro Space-Themed Puzzled Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter.md) - [AI Movie Poster Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-movie-poster-generator.md) - [Horror Movie-Inspired Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-coffin.md) - [Heritage-Honoring Artful Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archival-poster-collection.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ideas-jaws-set.md) - [Paranormal Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-standard-2.md)
