Artist Peter Stults imagined a whole world of movies, as if they had been made before their actual release. What if Pulp Fiction and Avatar had been released in the 50′s, he thought, with Charlton Heston and William Shatner starring respectively? To realize his vision, Stults created some highly realistic “pre-make” posters… and they look straight out of the eras he intended. Funky vintage graphic design and typography mix perfectly with his well chosen stars of the past. Below, Stults shares his inspiration for the pieces:

Awhile back a friend of mine forwarded me a site where artist Sean Hartter made posters of films that, title wise, we were familiar with, but there was a slight difference; they were remade as if they belonged to a different era or a different genre, the name of the movie was there, but the actors were different, the style was different, and I loved the concept. So I went forward with this theme; what if movies we were all familiar with were made in a different slice of time? Who would be in it? Who would direct it? So here we are…

Be sure to share some love with Stults on his Behance gallery or on Twitter.
