This style of poster has been used for years.
Star wars (original "a new hope" poster)
army of darkness
Clint Eastwood's "the gauntlet"
and many many more

It symbolizes a promise to the audience. This movie is going to kick ass, take names(if it has time), and be flat out epic. An arrogant statement, maybe. but a powerful one at that.
I F#CKING LOVE IT

Osiris...really?!?I have been hearing about his movie since last year. Read an EW once in awhile and you might here about good directors and movies every now and again. Lol.
