[...] few weeks back, AATM was host to a minor row over Universal’s debut of some “artsy” The Wolfman posters. I liked the overall concept, but my esteemed colleague and others didn’t [...]

Well…leaving aside all the artsy rubbish, surreal or otherwise, couldn’t they have done better?

Ehhhh, I guess. I see the “surreal” aspect, but I don’t see the “whole picture,” i.e. they are supposed to be connected beyond being from the same movie. Again, love the Wolfman face poster, not a fan of the lone Emily Blunt poster.

No, they really were designed as a whole picture. They fit together side by side. Check it out here: http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/2009/11/imagine_that.php. It’s more surreal, but it plays up the connection between the characters. It’s similar to the Kick-Ass posters that went out to IGN- they’re separate, but part of a whole.

I disagree on the whole picture aspect. If they had taken the poster of the Wolfman and put him in the trees or – like the two posters could fit together, then yes. But that’s not what I see and I suspect most theatergoers won’t see them side-by-side, as I don’t think they were meant that way.

Taken seperately, they’re pretty standard, but side by side they work together as a whole picture. Kind of a cool, surrealistic arty thing Universal did with them.
