00:02There is one artist for every couple of decades that encapsulates what film experience was for a couple of generations.
00:09And I think for my generation and the generation right before me, Drew Struzan was the movies.
00:16His posters are modern day classics. That's not an opinion, it's a statement of fact.
00:22It's not just an ad, you know, it's the first notes of the piece. It's the beginning of the story.
00:28He's a storyteller and that's what makes him very unique and ranks him with the great poster artists of all
00:33time.
00:36I like Chewbacca on this one too. He can even make Wookiees look good.
00:40He's got a wet nose, that's all you need.
00:46You get the whole movie and looking at that one image.
00:49And this one image really made you want to run out and see that movie.
00:55I had to almost live up to the art that we later were going to ask Drew to create for
01:00the poster.
01:00You've been very good to me. Very, very good to me.
01:03This art creates instant nostalgia for something that you've never been introduced to before.
01:10Masters of the Universe, I want to see this movie.
01:12If somebody took the trouble of painting it that good, it must be worth it.
01:16I probably never will see this movie.
01:20They say I could draw before I could talk.
01:24It's just what I do. It's what I've always loved to do.
01:27It's so tactile and that's because he paints, he does in the keyboard.
01:31He knows every trick on the book.
01:34He has a very distinct line.
01:38I often pose as him myself.
01:40Whatever makes you look like that, I want that shit around me.
01:44That abstract texture, it's a merging of all those elements.
01:47All those things add up to a feeling.
01:49I just pick those things and make that feeling.
01:53I'm a big fan of Bruce Struzan.
01:55It's a beautiful work.
01:56He's an original. He's a music.
01:58He's part of a movie experience.
01:59If you don't need Bruce Struzan to your poster, it's almost worth making him.
02:02He's just fine.
