Okay, the REAL final one-sheet for ‘The Wrestler’

Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:56 pm · November 16th, 2008

Alright, so as reported below, that image that leaked out onto the net today is not the final “Wrestler” poster art, but rather, an early comp that made its way out somehow.  The real poster has been supplied to me by Fox Searchlight below, and essentially, it’s the same image we saw at the AFI Fest premiere of the film, with a credit block added beneath.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, onward…

    Re-set…take two…

    Gotta love the S. Allen lead creative juggernaut that Searchlight has. Trailer coming this week I’m sure.

    Whats with all the leakage? Searchlight print/photo department? Searchlight publicity? Print creative agencies? Plug that dam, Fox Searchlactating.

    I also like this one better. I love the black background and how the light shines on him and illuminates this broken man.

    Any word on when the trailer will be out?

    According to a guy on imdb who claims to have seen Darren Aronofsky at a screening in San Diego the trailer will hit the web November 20. Of course, you never know how reliable these sources are…

    Beautiful, I like this one better. It seems to be sharper and more illuminated, plus that blurry hand is gone! :)

    No it’s called “The Wrestler” actually.
