"without nothing he's willing to risk all"

the teleidoscope 2012 theme #3 - movie star

 

1 - the concept

movie star - a star who plays leading roles in the cinema

I figured the best way to show i was the star was showing the movie poster. And since i'm coming up with the movie why not surround myself with some of my favorites :-D

 

2- the poster

i started with the idea to go for a Drew Struzan look, since i got back to drawing regularly but i soon figured out that: a) it would take me lot's of time to get the look right b)my painting would be slow and messy. So move on to the next best thing: a photomontage and inspired by Tim Bradstreet's work , i took the composition directly from one of his Hellblazer comic covers. I decided to pay him tribute and his gritty style, fitting of the tone of the movie :-)

 

3- the movie

named "the hanged man" as in the tarot card. in the Tarot deck symbolism "the hanged man" is not a victim - he has gone to his fate happily and smiles out at us. He is serene and content - it is his tormentors who will ultimately suffer. And that's the concept of the movie; it's a revenge story, the bloody kind that Tarantino's good at. Lots of guns, martial arts and public space destruction.

 

Story by Helder Silva - Screenplay and dialogues by Quentin Tarantino - Music by Hans Zimmer and Trent Reznor (yeah i know tarantino likes to choose his oldies but this would work) - Action Choreography by Jackie Chan Stunt Team - Produced by Helder Silva - Directed by Quentin Tarantino
