Ok, for a while we've been hinting at something big in the works for
PNE
, and a bit different from what we've released in the past. Well, we weren't kidding. We're finally happy to unveil the mystery and come clean. A short while ago
Justin Hampton
of
PNE
was contacted by movie director
Todd Phillips
. He explained that he wanted to do something special for the cast and crew of his movie
'The Hangover,'
as it had become the highest grossing comedy of all time. A great rapport developed and Phillips commissioned
PNE
for a special project.
Todd
asked
Hampton
to oversee the art direction of his vision with
PNE
. He wanted
Justin, Emek
and
Jermaine
to create a set of commemorative rock-art style prints that embraced the no-holds-barred and reckless abandon of his hit film. "Make the posters...just wrong" he said. With this inspiration, the trifecta set out to do just that. After months in development the project is now finished and the set of 3 prints is complete, each showcasing a different slant on the film. Recently,
Justin
flew to Los Angeles and met with
Todd
at his editing studio in Malibu to finalize the project and deliver the prints in person. Todd and everyone at the production company were instantly in love with the set. The prints are now all on their way to the homes of all of the cast and crew.
In a special arrangement with
Todd
, he has agreed to let
PNE
release a limited number of
'The Hangover'
print sets to the poster collecting community. This set of 3 screen printed posters will be released next week.
Justin Hampton's
print focuses in on everyone's favorite little baby from the film;
Carlos
- the unofficial 'fifth member' of the
'Hangover'
bachelor crew. And yes, his stripper-mother (portrayed by the lovely
Heather Graham
) also makes an appearance in this print.
Todd Phillips
said "This poster is hilarious!... Amazing colors!"
Emek's
vision encompassed the totality of the film: he adds a highly detailed collage of images from the film, anchored by the sun-glassed 'Alan', portrayed by
Zach Galifianakis
. Everything from major stars to tiny details is pictured in this print: can you find all the references?
Todd
said about this print what most folks say about an
Emek
print: "Look at the detail!" Jermaine Rogers' poster focuses on one of the most memorable moments of the film: the
Mike Tyson
scene.
Jermaine
depicts
Tyson
under the spell of
Phil Collins
, whose visage hovers 'Big Brother' like, in the darkness.
Tyson
raises his cigarette lighter in creepy homage. This print also
glows in the dark
!
Todd Phillips
remarked, "
Tyson
is gonna LOVE this!" Again, a limited amount of these sets are being released to the public. PNE enjoyed working with
Todd Phillips
on this project, and certainly have laid the groundwork to do similar projects in this arena in the future. 'The Hangover' poster set will be released next week.
