Saul Bass was behind some of the most indelible intro title sequences in movie history. Casino, North By Northwest, Vertigo. He died in 1996, and, just a few days ago, Google broke out a Doodle for his birthday. And now here’s a pretty damn great nerd tribute on top. Four movie posters for Game of Thrones, in Bass’s signature style.
The posters are made by LA-based graphic artist Fernando Reza, and feature visual cues from Otto Preminger, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and John Frankenheimer’s works. Basically, they’re freaking hot, and available in limited runs (35 each for now, so GOOD LUCK) for $40. And, clearly, it looks like Reza’s read the books.
