Aww man! ..i just got really excited until i suddenly remembered the project was cancelled! ;( Having been a follower for a long time, this is the movie i secretly rooted for while the whole 'død snø' ruckus was goin on!
- too bad we'll never know how this one could have turned out..

But dont get me wrong, 'død snø' is no fluke! And I really dig it! ;D
so, lets warm up for winter/easter vecation with some zombie action, courtesy of 'død snø' or 'shockwaves' :D

Thanks for reminding us about Worst Case Scenario. Too bad the project fell apart and won't get made...!

On this poster I think they crammed too much text on top of an awesome image. Apart from that, the title plays really well with the striking image. I don't get the "only good German is a living German" thing though?

Oh my! This is real and not a photoshop? Hahahahahahahaha! I can honestly say this is not done by any of us.

..I think you are right about atleast one of your points! ;)

Agreed, I concur! Just a fun idea, cool finding similarities/connections between wellknown images like these ;) (just tag these under the mash-up/what-if category!)

Ha! Nice.
To critique the idea a little: how many will "get" it?
Still cool.

Heh, the "Over The Top" one has something we've already been debating a little: if we do a collage of images, should it be done technically poor (as in eighties cut-n-paste)? Jury's still out.

The Spirit one has a nice optical illusion, but it's perhaps a little off-putting overall? Doesn't have that "wow" factor in my eyes.

I think the Treholt icons are pretty strong, albeit hard to identify.
And the mystery around his person and the case is one of these..
(The most important element about this film!)

Also being in my thirties, I think most persons (in norway) over the age of 25, have a distinct impression of Treholt and the Treholt-case.
Younger people probably know less, but might be able to point out the man in the suit with the big glasses and graying hair as Arne Treholt.

So to answer your question 'if it even matters' I would say NO.
Things that make you go.. "heey? whats this?!" and google it, or look it up on wikipedia for reference.. Essentially finds it's own-kind-of segment.

Media is constantly refreshing(?!) our impression/memory of the case, by pumping fresh blood into the case - in the form of books, articles and photos aswell as newscoverage.
The latest of these being the 'new/unpublished' evidence just released by PST on facebook, flicker and the mainstream media.

Even though, probably a far shot.. I believe that eventually - this production will spark or incite a new, more open discussion/debate on the Treholt-Case.. On what really happened, political motives and on who were involved.

God bless Sci-fact!
or to quote C-3P0: "Thank the maker!"

'Ham.

Good series of examples. Those posters for The Road show a dramaturgic development from the first to the last. Very clever, and something I would love us to do for NN. That is, create some form of visual "story" growing through the teaser (in several stages?) to the final poster. Also in other media, perhaps.

The Indy one is another example of relying on the audience's previous knowledge of the brand, down to the font for the release date. Talk about screen icons...

Without direct comparison it begs several questions:

How strong are the Treholt icons (from real life) in today's audiences?
What's the age cut-off for people who know about the case and the man? Being in my mid thirties I remember well the arrest, the newspaper headlines etc. from 1984-85, but I don't have the impresson that 20-somethings today know too much... Does it even matter?

This is something to remember. The theme of invisibility. Hm...

Yes, this is great. It plays on our previous knowledge of the story and links the new movie with the old trilogy.

Good point!
Kommandør Treholt: Mission to Moscow?! Haha.

YES. This works sooo well "the art of showing without showing".
Central to having a good teaser.
