Jack Reacher Poster

Jack Reacher is the new Tom Cruise film which came out recently. It is an adaptation of the popular Lee Child novel 'One Shot'. While the film was in production, the original working title was "One Shot", it was directed and written by Christopher McQuarrie. The film entered production in October 2011 and finished January 2012, it was filmed entirely in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The movie has rallied a lot of rumour of Tom Cruise winning his first Oscar. The film was scheduled for release on December 15 but was delayed due to the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting. The film was released on December 21st in the USA and December 26th.

The poster has Tom Cruise in the middle of poster with the camera on a low angle showing he is control, he has some scars on his face showing that he just had a fight and because his eyes looking past the camera, this could suggests he is looking at his fallen victim, this is emphasised further with gun in his hand. Also, with the car headlights on behind him, this gives Tom Cruise's character more darker and more mysterious. Everything behind him is blurred out by the shallow depth of field behind him and he is in full focus, this also emphasises the fact that he is main character and the man person in the film.

The poster has really influenced our poster with the main character in action on the poster.This was a really good idea for our poster. We could have our two main character (Shahrukh and Ainsley) in action. we could have a black background just to further emphasise its a very dark rivalry between the two characters.

The idea of the main character being bruised and being the main 'object' in the poster gave us an idea that we could use for both film poster and magazine cover. We could use it for our film poster by having either my character or the character of Ainsley scruffy and really gritty looking in the front of our poster suggesting he is fighting someone or something, maybe the life he is living, maybe he is fighting to change for the good. We could also use it for magazine cover, by using the same idea, this would entice the reader to read into the film and watch the teaser trailers and maybe go watch the film.
