New Lost poster – “The Hatch”

thetvlowdown — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:50:07 +0000

Looks like the series of specially commissioned Lost posters are increasing in popularity, with the latest edition unveiled – “The Hatch” – selling out very quickly.

Far be it from me to say this kind of looks like album artwork, but… it looks like album artwork. Meh. You can find all of the details on the posters over at their site.

New Lost poster – “The Smoke Monster”

thetvlowdown — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:14:19 +0000

The latest in the series of commemorative Lost posters was recently revealed and has already sold out, which just goes to show the enduring popularity of the good ol’ Smoke Monster.

I like the design of this one, but I’m not sure I could live with it hanging on my wall!

New Lost poster – “The 4-Toed Statue”

thetvlowdown — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:19:18 +0000

Yep, another in the special series of Lost posters has been revealed, this week focussing on the 4-toed statue discovered by Sayid way back at the end of S2, and apparently the true home of Jacob.

The description for the poster reads “Image above gold foot printed in gloss, and can only be seen from certain angles and in certain lighting.”

Considering the four-toed statue is one of the most iconic elements of Lost I’d hoped they’d do something a little more interesting with it, but if you’re a fan, you can scooch on over here and pick yourself up a copy.

New Lost poster – “The Love Triangle”

thetvlowdown — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:12:35 +0000

Once more we have the latest in the series of specially-commissioned Lost posters for your delectation, with this week’s limited edition poster recalling the early S3 moment when Kate and Sawyer had dirty sweaty cage sex while Jack watched helplessly. Ah, young love…

Again, I have to say, slightly disappointing this week. The only posters which have so far sold out are the Locke poster (my personal favourite to date) and The Crash. If you want to get your sticky mitts on The Love Triangle, take $50 out of your piggybank and visit this site to order.

New Lost poster – “The Crash”

thetvlowdown — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:34:11 +0000

The latest in a series of specially commissioned posters, commemorating the best of Lost, has been released. So far there have been posters dedicated to Locke, Hurley and the Dharma Van whilst the latest poster focusses on “The Crash”.

I kind of like the style of this latest one, and the use of colours from the Oceanic Airlines logo, though it does look slightly like the DVD cover of “Lost: The Animated Series”. If you want to snag yourself a copy (each poster is limited to a run of 300) head over here.

Latest Lost poster revealed – the Dharma Van

tvlowdown — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:38:45 +0000

As I mentioned last week, several artists have been commissioned to design a limited range of posters to mark the final season of Lost, celebrating the characters and imagery that made the show what it is.

Well, the latest poster has been revealed – the Dharma Van.

Uh… OK.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice and all, but… really? Not one I’ll be dashing out to buy, I’m afraid. If you’re feeling the urge to splurge, head over here and get your $50 ready…

Nerd Alert!

Couldn’t resist posting this. Just ordered me one of these babies…

Better move fast if you want one; limited run of 300, and mine was order #284…

Leather? Check. Gun? Check. Hot chick? Checkity-check. It's a Dollhouse poster

tvlowdown — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:59:20 +0000

I like. It’s got a bit more oomph than some of the other potential S2 posters that surfaced yesterday, and the tagline of “Anyone can happen” is apt. I desperately hope Dollhouse can pull in some more viewers this season, as I really want to see it survive. After a rough start it’s now one of the show I’m looking forward to returning the most.

Still, not long to wait. September 25th!

Another new poster today. This time; Stargate Universe

tvlowdown — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:54:27 +0000

Here’s the new poster for the latest Stargate spinoff, Stargate Universe, which launches on Friday October 2nd on Syfy. I think this is the first time I’ve seen the show advertised in a bright, glossy way; it almost seems at odds with the dark, gritty image the producers have been praising about the new show, but perhaps that’s just to try and draw in as many types of viewer as possible. Aesthetically it feels pretty similar to some of the posters for the JJ Abrams Star Trek movie, so perhaps they’re trying to capitalise on that audience as well.

New Heroes S4 poster reveals nothing, fails to inspire; reflects show perfectly

tvlowdown — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 08:27:08 +0000

I’m sorry if that comes off a little harsh. I do still watch Heroes, and occasionally see glimmers of hope, but the quality of the show has deteriorated so, so much from the almost flawless first season. The amount of incredibly schizophrenic characterisation in later seasons (with not just our heroes’ powers randomly changing to fit the circumstances but also their personalities and motivations) has made it hard to enjoy the show without pausing every 2 minutes to share a WTF?! with anyone else in the room.

Anyway, a new poster for S4 has popped up, and it doesn’t show anything. It’s Hiro, Sylar and Claire just… standing there. The same poster could have been used for S2 and S3, it’s so generic.

Heroes returns to NBC on Monday 21st September with a 2-hour premiere.
