Rejected Posters For "The Shining"
Reportedly, director Stanley Kubrick made Saul Bass submit 300+ versions before picking the classic we all know.
The winner.
Kubrick didn’t want the maze. And the last one does look like a science-fiction poster.
Make sure and visit The Fox Is Black to see two more posters and some letters from Bass to Kubrick.

Guilty Spark 6 months agoAll of those seem bland considering the strong visuals in the film. I would have considered using the twins standing in the hallway or a graphic of an axe in a door. Or a landscape shot of a creepy hotel at night. Gotta say, it’s far from the best movie one sheet I’ve seen.

Never thought my opinion would diverge from Kubrick’s, but dare I say I like #1 best?
