In this second part in today's Reworking Previous Proven Marketing Images , I draw your attention to the promotional poster for the new movie by the tallest member of Hollywood's so-called frat pack, actor Vince Vaughn, the just-released in theaters "Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show."
To my eye this poster, in terms of the angle of how its main star is photographed from and how he is posing for this promo shot, is pretty reminiscent of the poster for his breakout movie, 1996's "Swingers" (written by co-star Jon Favreau and directed by Doug Liman). Yes? No? I think so and say that they did it to subliminally trigger our memory of its star.
Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show, which is a look at a group of comedians on tour (onstage and backstage) is currently playing in theaters while Swingers is on DVD and for sale at Amoeba Music (just ask if you can't find it). Check clip of the classic 1996 film below:
