If you don’t know who Drew Struzan is, you probably still have seen his work, and you probably love one of his pieces. Â Drew Struzan created the movie posters for some of the most iconic movies over the last 30 years. Â This documentary has been in the works for years, and at a Comic-Con panel this past weekend it was announced that the film is complete. Â Drew sure has some heavy hitters complimenting his work in this film, and he certainly lives up to the saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
You can check out some of Drew’s work over on his site, drewstruzan.com.

One of my life highlights is getting a signed Struzan print, from the man himself, at the Hard Rock at Comic-Con last year – the poster was Cowboys And Aliens, the man sat next to him was Jon Favreau and Jon seemed a little put out when I said, “Sorry. I admire your work and can’t wait to see your film but this is the man I came to see. Drew, you need to come out of retirement. Badly! The state of movie promotion in 2011 is an embarrassment; what you can bring to the plate is demonstrated by this fantastic work of art. Sir, it’s an honour to meet you!”. Well worth getting ant-spyglassed into the San Diego sidewalk for!
I have always loved Drew’s work and am definitely interested in seeing this film. Makes me wish I still made art.
Screw the statement, “He’s one of the greatest poster artists of our time.” I had no idea those were freaking hand painted. He’s one of the greatest artists PERIOD!
Dammit I wish I was as good a artist as him. Movie posters (and books in general)should go back to painted and illustrated images.
Was that the Gute??????
