Lurking in Twitter I found a link to this, frankly awesome, collection of re-imagined Coen brothers movie posters. The designers at Poster Lab have reworked posters for Blood Simple, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, The Man Who Wasn’t There and No Country For Old Men. I think you’ll agree that they’re truly beautiful.
Click on the images below to see the full size posters;

.png "The Man Who Wasn't There S")
.png "No Country For Old Men S")
Which is your favourite? Mine? It’s a toss-up (no pun intended) between No Country and Hudsucker.
I’ll keep an eye on Poster Lab and update if they do the missing movies, I really hope they do.

Hi Paul.
Thank you very much for posting the rebooted posters I made! I aprecciate “You Know, For Kids” and used it as a part of my research.
If you’d like to talk about Coens, or even to suggest a new poster, I’m here. =)
Hugs,

Hi Rafael,
I’d love for you to tackle them all but I’d like to see what you come up with for Miller’s Crossing.
Or even the forthcoming True Grit!
Paul.
