John Alvin was responsible for both the ET & Gremlins posters. Certainly the ones generally used

It looks a bit fake if you ask me, I can't work out if I like it though, I don't think it suits the film at all.
I was hoping Abrams was going to keep a dark and mysterious theme giving the build up for the film.

I real poster!!! My god!!! Someone's actually painted it and everything... These things are needed back in film. The obsession with Photoshop has killed this kind of poster and I for one, want them back. By that I mean horrible photographic mash ups, not digital painting which I have no issue with.

This is nothing like the quality of Drew's work who retired since the industry is full of jackasses who didn't want "art" on their posters. Also John Alvin is a totally different artist Empire, get a grip.

Have had being an artist for different movie properties, i know Drew Struzan's work well. This unfortunately isn't one of his pieces. The physical balance and proportion of the anatomy is a very fine hair off. The cool/warm balance is off as well.. but I must say...it is quite fine!
Also..John Alvin was a marvelous artist..may he rest in peace.
