Mondo has announced the Director’s Series, which featuring sets of posters all from one specific director. And the first director is Guillermo del Toro, posters for all of his films, except Mimic, will soon be available at Mondo’s official site. You may now check out the first two of the series: a set of Blade IIprints by Mike Sutfin and Hellboy II: The Golden Army by Ken Taylor.
The series was announced by Entertainment Weekly, who spoke to Alamo CEO Tim League about the project.
We’ve had a relationship with Guillermo for a while. He lived here after he made Cronos and became a fixture, if you will, at the theater. Justin Ishmael, the head of Mondo, pitched him on the idea. Guillermo decided to not just approve the series but also serve as the point for approving the actual design. He’s said, ‘Yes, I like that,’ or ‘No, that doesn’t look too much like Ron Perlman,’ or whatever.
Here’s what del Toro has to say about the series.
It is a rare privilege to be included in this mind-blowing poster series. These images enshrine and preserve the energy of the films they depict in a way that no square marketing could!!! More power to them!!!
