Incredible Posters of Unmade Movie Sequels

by . November 21st, 2014

Over 40 artists crafted posters of cult movie sequels that were never made.

Several movie projects in development never made it to the movie houses. This is because they never pass through the development stage, production stumbles apart, or the studio abandons it for some reason.

Curated by iam8bit, a Los Angeles-based gallery and creative production company, Sequel is an art exhibition that features wonderful poster designs for big screen sequels that were never actually produced. Most of these sequel projects are even what supporters of films like The Rocketeer, The Shining, Spaceballs, and Labyrinth have wanted for years.

Kudos to iam8bit’s current art exhibition. Pop culture geeks were allowed to look at what could have been poster designs for movie sequels that, for now, remain a wishful dream. What I find most astonishing about the exhibit is the diversity of the 50 poster designs imagined and created by over 40 artists that used various styles and techniques.

Feast your eyes on some of the beautiful posters in Sequel featured below.
