It seems like it has been forever ago when we Warner Independent released the first character posters for their upcoming animation A
Scanner Darkly. The film, based off of Philip K. Dick's novel of the same name, recently had a couple of release date adjustments (back) and Warner responded by slowing up on the marketing campaign. Though we still have a ways to go till summer, this feature poster for A Scanner Darkly is one of the coolest posters we have seen for 2006.
Scanner Darkly Poster
Like a graphic novel come to life, A Scanner Darkly will use live action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process (interpolated rotoscoping) to create a haunting, highly stylized vision of the future. The technology, first employed in Richard Linklater’s 2001 film Waking Life, has evolved to produce even more emotional impact and detail.
Unlike the first posters that featured only one character from the film, the feature poster shows all the main characters in a state of paranoia.
A Scanner Darkly Poster
A Scanner Darkly is set in suburban Orange County, California in a future where America has lost the war on drugs. When one reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode. It is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K. Dick and his own experiences.
The good people over at LatinoReview were the first to receive the poster above. For a larger resolution click the image or the link.
A Scanner Darkly comes to theatres on July 7th.
