I never saw that movie, and didn't even knew its existance even if I know almost every weird superhero movies! I need to see that, the trailer is very cool!

Great cover. I really like the border around the front image - very effective but maybe the wings coming over the border might look better as they seem a bit "chopped off" and there are already elements coming over the border.
Like DrrnHarr says its good that you've both approached it differently, i'd happily use both covers.

Indeed, I would have liked to extend the wings, but that was all there was on the poster I used (it had a white border). The Quad version had more image on the sides, but I couldn't find a good source for that.

As for being different, Darren went for the more cartoony poster, while I used the 007-spoof motif. They both give off different vibes, but are equally "valid" when it comes to catching the tone of the film. As a child, the action elements were the ones that stood out to me. I never caught the spoof elements.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to comment on our work. Darren and I are part of a two-man task force to raise awareness of the film.
... and yes, Torrente, you walked right into a double-custom ambush!

A great vision for the cover as well. However I think Pixar has also contributed to the new awareness of the film.

I love this kind of ambush that consist in pushing me to discover a cult-bizarre movie, so no harm at all ahah

Beautiful work as always, BPM.
How do you pick titles to do covers for?

Michael Crawford...Condorman? Is this before his stint as The Phantom?

Yes.

Also before he choreographed an Olympic gold medal winning Torvil and Dean ice skating routine..

He has many talents.

I love Condorman and would happily join your campaign to raise awareness of it.
One of Mancini's most fun scores and it's never been released officially.

Torrente · 12-20-2011, 08:29 PM

This avatar of yours with the custom cover of Werewolf in London is soooo awesome!
I dig it!!!

The music is definitely memorable but I always thought it sounds like Led Zeppelin - Kashmir.

I didn't really get a good luck at your avatar and had been assuming it was Suspiria.

DrrnHarr · 12-21-2011, 11:29 AM

I plan on using the following tagline for my "Condorman" custom cover:

"He Spies! He Flies! He Death-Defies!"

I notice Nissen went with the US poster tagline.

Here is where it stands right now. I still need to do some work on the front cover including possitibly putting a "Walt Disney Pictures presents" and moving the tag line below the TT. I'll also likely move the TT.

Nissen · 12-21-2011, 01:39 PM

Here's another version featuring the European poster which makes this film look like a kick-ass Superhero action picture.

Fake Criterion re-blogged my covers of Yates' work.

Never ever seen that design, it's great apart from Oliver Reed looks too Bondy.
