Exclusive: 'Repo Men' "Glasses" Poster Premiere
Feb 24th 2010 4:10PM By: Peter Hall

With the March 19th release date for Repo Men fast approaching, Universal has seen fit to kick the marketing up a notch for their Jude Law and Forest Whitaker-starring genre hybrid about a future in which life-saving organ transplants can be repossessed if a customer gets behind on their payments. Their campaign includes a run of posters advertising the fictional organ donation conglomerate, ominously titled The Union, and today the Moviefone network (of which Horror Squad is a part) has been given four of their artificial organ advertisements to unveil.
And, honestly, I do dig the mood they're going for here (I'm also a big fan of posters that don't actually have the film's title on it). It's clear from the trailer that Miguel Sapochnik's film had a twisted sense of humor, but these new posters, combined with the real website for the fake Union corporation, are sure driving that tongue deeper into the cheek. Check out the "Guys Won't Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses" variant in full below and head over to Inside Movies, Cinematical and Sci-Fi Squad for the other three.
Oh, and if you're looking to make some cash, keep your eye out for an upcoming team up between Universal, Repo Men, and Wired that will give four lucky nomads a chance at $10,000 grand if they can stay hidden off the grid for about a month.

Few things within the horror industry tend to get the hatred flowing within me, but rest assured if 


When filmmakers are trying to get a production off the ground, the first thing they'll often do is create a piece of key sales art to entice investors. This is usually a rudimentary collage of cast names and some visual inkling of plot that is only ever intended to be seen by people with large checks to write in conference rooms at venues like the American Film Market or even the Cannes International Film Festival. I understand that this is not final artwork, that these Photoshop jobs are often created before a single frame of the movie is even filmed (and sometimes before a single word of the script is written). But that doesn't explain why all sales art looks like something that fell off of a Blockbuster shelf in 1996.
