I am really enjoying re-making film pics and the like at the moment. I have done "great dictator" with myself as the chaplin (more cleese than chaplin) and aslo, The scream by munch, the kiss by klimt, nicholson and pfeiffer poster for "wolf" and a bella/twilight. What classic image would you choose to shoot model hang?
Hmmm, it's fine here, anyway it's Disclosure (Demi Moore & Micheal Douglas) - the version of the poster where she's straddling him. I remember the fuss this caused when it came out and was in all the bus shelters, an awful distraction from driving and fairly risque at the time.
yeah, I considered basic instinct when I was choosing before for myself and wife, but ended up with wolf
Back to the Future. Essentially a composite, it would take some time to recreate... and you'd need a DeLorean.... and some flaming trails, but could be done. The opportunity to quote dialogue throughout the shoot would be unmissable!
maybe doing back to the future with a clapped out old skoda would be as interesting, using the composition to make the derivation obvious but replacing props is an interesting thing. I tried to get my in-laws, in their 70's to do "grease"

Haha! Brilliant idea. It could be a British version (much like the reverse of how British comedy gets glossed up for American remakes).
I did "the scream" and "the kiss" (and others) with characters from alice in wonderland, its a different version of "cross processing"
Album Covers! Very controversial cover at the time. Flash were a spin-off band from Yes members.
They don't come better than Roger Dean's work.
I loved roger dean as a teenager (and chris foss, kurt geiger) more for the science fiction /fantasy bookcovers than the album work
Or Rodney Matthews! This from the German band Eloy's album Time to Turn. Can't help but think that this artwork inspired the film Avatar.
I get a lot of inspiration from movies - working on a 300 one at the mo :)
people are picking some complicated albums to re-create. I was thinking more of London calling, one shot not quite in focus. Of course it would have to be called Hull calling if I did it at the mo..
I love Drew Struzan's work ... most notably, back to the future, indiana jones, and last samurai. But favorite posters would have to include the first star wars poster (hiderbrant I think) and it's more colourful, dirivitive reincarnation:
The episode 3 poster wasnt too shabby either ! http://simonz.co.hu/poster/ep3/ep3-poster25.jpg (link only - cos it's pretty big)
