The posters for World Trade Center and Wicker Man…
Both feature the same negative space. In fact, if one overlays them…
… you get a very chilling image indeed. Now, these are two Nic Cage films — not a random selection of Things At The Movies.
Wow. Notice the font of the slogans, and their commentary on one another:
A True Story of Courage and Survival
Some Sacrifices Must Be Made
I know I’m not the last to make 9/11 jokes. But I feel like there’s a significant difference between using humor to cope, and making sincere CG World Trade Center explosions. Furthermore, I think this illustrates some of the questions raised by a piece of WTC entertainment. You can’t help but compare a movie to other movies, nor its poster to other posters.
I mean, the poster for World Trade Center is selling
the events
of September 11th.
I should get one for my wall. From Aaahs! Right? Because it’s a cool poster, right?
I’m really not a fan of this film.
