Is this the best movie poster of the year?
If you feel that film posters aren't what they once were, you're not alone. Fans have been decrying the banality of the ubiquitous 'floating heads' design for years now, and genuinely original ideas seem few and far between in 2022. But the new John Wick poster is bucking the trend.
At first glance it looks like a simple headshot character poster, but look a little closer and you'll see that John Wick's tie is in fact a hourglass. And it's filled with bullets, because why not? And that's not the only visual flourish – the logo also features an ingenious design touch. The hourglass tie is certainly a clever optical illusion, and injects some nice drama and mystery into the proceedings . And as sartorially-minded among you will know, the hourglass knot is one method of tying a tie – so extra points for ingenuity there.
But the fun doesn't stop there – even the tiny logo in the bottom corner of the poster features a clever hidden message. Highlighted in the JW initials are the numerals IV, denoting that this is indeed John Wick's fourth attempt to escape the clutches of the villainous High Table.
