Here's a typical life cycle for a movie that isn't a megabudget blockbuster from a major studio. Everyone talks about it before it comes out, it releases, then radio silence hits. Every now and then something may blip up about it, but for the most part it's quiet until 10, 20 years later when people start rediscovering it and celebrating big anniversaries. It happens to pretty much every movie, no matter how great they are.

And that's kind of bogus. That's why we think it's pretty awesome that the UK art house Black Dragon Press isn't waiting 10 or 20 years to celebrate the fantastic Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Taika Waititi's indie adventure comedy turns a year old this week, and so to celebrate it Black Dragon teamed up with artist George Bletsis for an incredibly lovely and creative poster for the film.

Taika Waititi, who also gave Black Dragon some input on the poster, had this to say about it.

"I love this poster. It reminds me of the kind of thing I would make as a kid, obsessing over every detail I remembered from movies I loved. I'm particularly pleased to see the minister is in there too!"

And what's particularly neat about this release is the fact that Black Dragon Press are also putting out a keyline version of the poster, so you can color it in yourself, should you so desire. Here's some closer looks, as well as the edition info for both versions.
