Unused Captain America movie poster

REJECTED poster for CATFA.

Goes to show that studios would rather photoshop something straight forward than get really creative and run with the film's idea. a 40's style movie poster would have done it! I NEED to get a print of this!

Wow love that!!! Would love a copy of that myself to put on the wall......a throwback poster would do great with collectors......

Hmmm. The original Nick Fury! Looks like they will have some sort of explanation.

There were photos of Sam jackson's Nick Fury in modern times square with Steve Rogers.

named after the ww2 Nick fury? Son or grandson of the howling commando on the far right?

I like how he's punching Hitler. This is a great poster and I hope there will be a place to get a print of it. It would look nice in a frame.

Too creative and not enough orange and blue for Hollywood.

That is insanely awesome. Much better than the "AVENGE" poster. It's cool in it's own right, but this has so much more personality.

Absolutely LOVE IT! I wish we were getting the "REAL" Nick Fury.

Let us know if they do make this poster or somewhere to by it. I would be all over that in a heartbeat.

Call me crazy - I love the idea - I'm not nuts about the execution, personally.

- The action in the poses is too stiff to me, Caps arms look heavy.
- The shooter looks weird to me, looks like he's aiming at the shield not Cap
- I don't like how the commandos are just standing around, kinda boring to me.

It looks like it's suppose to be a homage to Captain America #1 - but look how fluid caps motion is on the original. So much more action going on in the original cover.


- Everything looks a little crammed in, like they're fitting too many stars in
- Too many different typefaces, it makes it busy for me, good 1940s posters are really elegant with their type design.
- Some of the typefaces look more 20s and 30s then 1940s to me.
- 40s movie posters had beautiful handmade lettering, the computer lettering looks wrong for the style.

Anyway - enough fun nit-picking on here - I'm switching back to my day job of nit-picking designs!

Here's the original comic for reference. I think Hitler looks like he's really getting socked here, and Cap is in full action mode.

Again - I love the idea and wish they went with this concept - but I think it could have used a couple more drafts to get right.

Here's another action packed cover I really like. I like this more for the poses and the fact that it conveys so much action then the actual drawing technique:


Again, it's all personal. I just wish the poster was more exciting.

Or "Nick Fury" becomes the (false) identity of whoever heads up SHIELD, like a secret identity minus the mask or akin to the the plethora of "James Bond"s in the original Casino Royale (with David Niven. Woody Allen et al)

sweet!

I saw a follow up article on the internet regarding this poster. Apparently, it wasn't a rejected poster but a special commissioned commerative given to the cast and crew of the movie. Only 100 prints were made and although I'm sure a couple will come to market on Ebay; it is probably going to sell for crazy money. I wish they would release it and allow some of us collecting junkies collect it at a reasonable price.
