Review of Drew: The Man Behind the Poster (2013) by Matthewasaurus — 06 Jul 2014

This is a great documentary on the master of film posters, Drew Struzan. It delves into his work for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, the Goonies, the Muppets, Blade Runner, The Thing, and Harry Potter, among others. It's got interviews with the best people in the film industry too, like Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Guillermo del Toro, and Michael J. Fox.

It even looks into his work for del Toro's Hellboy films and Pan's Labyrinth, and how while del Toro adored them, the studio rejected them in favour of some worse-looking photographic posters. It goes through Struzan's career wonderfully, and ends up exposing the film industry and how greedy it's become, but ends on a pleasant note.
