The trailer made it clear that the PR group working on Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom has all manner of spectacular images to source promotional images from, but for the first poster they decided on this very sweet, illustrative one-sheet design…
…It’s certainly an unusual film poster, eye-grabbing by virtue of its whimsical sweetness. I’m sure we’ll get many more fanciful posters between now and May 25th, but this is a great start.
I’ve never had strong feeling on Wes Anderson either way, but the Fantastic Mr. Fox apparently did a number on me because the Moonrise trailer has gotten me very excited. Either I’m just now coming around or the director has finally gotten a grasp on his affectations in such a way that I’m finding them more compelling. We’ll all find out in May.
Also, /Film pointed out to me that some images popped up earlier this week, though they don’t really capture anything that wasn’t in the trailer. I’ve included them below.

Typically, I hate hipster crap. Anderson movies are the equivalent of hipster music. Yet, as much as I dislike hipster tunes, Anderson movies are delightful to me. I, without shame, love his stuff and cannot wait for this. Great poster!
I dislike hipsters as much as I next guy, but “hipster music” is actually good music. It’s the hipsters that force it upon you and praise themselves for liking or even discovering it is the problem.
This poster on the other hand is dope.
I wish I could call other commenters cunts without getting reprimanded.
Having said (typed) that, Wes Anderson is amongst the best movie makers of all time.
My man’s up there with Kurisawa, Scorsese, Hitchcock, Park Chan and Tarantino.
I am firmly in Werewolf Pussy’s camp. Firmly
WP, i know spell check probably doesn’t have KUROSAWA as an option, but read your shit before you post. That is, unless you think that’s the way you spell his name, but then again, you seem to think that Chan-Wook Park’s last name is the Park Chan part (probably because it sounds Japanese)
I dig the general concept and feel of the poster, but man that type is hard to read.
