From the Press Release
The announcement earlier this week that Cell Count was chosen as the Closing Night Film and to also have its World Premiere at this year’s Fantaspoa Film Festival in Brazil made the filmmakers think this would be a great time to show the new poster from the amazing Tom Hodge at The Dude Designs.
Cell Count is the story of Russell Carpenter, who reluctantly admits his wife, Sadie, into an experimental treatment facility for her life threatening disease. While locked in this prison like surrounding they, along with six others, are unknowingly subjected to a cure that might just be worse than the disease itself. The film stars Robert McKeehen (“Leverage”), Haley Talbot (“Grimm”), Ted Rooney (“Boardwalk Empire”) and Daniel Baldwin.
“We are so excited to have our World Premiere at this year’s Fantaspoa Film Festival,” writer/director Freeman said. “We’ll be among some of the very best Fantastic Cinema has to offer from around the world. Our intent from day one was always to make a film for enthusiasts of the sci-fi and horror genres. It’s going to be a blast to see it in a theater full of genre fans for the first time.”
Tom Hodge, The Dude Designs said, “For Cell Count I wanted to create a modern illustrated montage poster. A lot of times this type of work can get labeled as ‘retro’ but I really wanted to show that this type of art is still as fresh, fun and relevant for today’s movie market in 2012 as it was back in 1972.”
“Cell Count is the type of movie that can benefit from this school of poster art as there is so much going on, so while you could just depict one isolated character or image to promote the film, it wouldn’t really tell you the whole story and my main aim for the design was to capture all the rich nuances, characters, plot twists and atmosphere of the movie to build this static trailer. I took a lot of influence from the Thai posters of the 70s, as they always had such a great flair for balancing out a broad spectrum of elements but still tying them together in a composition that looks unified as a whole.”
Joao Fleck and Nicolas Tonsho, Directors of the Fantaspoa Film Festival, said, “Cell Count is a film that has a strong potential to please a large audience. Those seeking pure entertainment will get their fix and those looking for a film to reflect upon will be satisfied watching it as well. All in all, the suspense, the twists, its powerful visuals along with its simple universal story make it unique and effecting. We look forward to seeing Cell Count be appreciated by a large, and well deserved, audience.”
Cell Count’s production company, Wooden Frame Productions, is currently in talks with sales agents as well as distributors from all over the world.
