With The Wolverine debuting in theaters tonight at midnight, I thought it only appropriate to highlight the film’s second wave of these beautiful The Wolverine sumi-e character movie posters! Sumi-e (or suibokuga) is a traditional Japanese ink wash painting technique and it is used masterfully here in creating these awesome one sheet movie posters. They also do a fantastic job setting the mood for the film, don’t you think? That little splash of red is intense!
The Wolverine Sumi-e Character Movie Poster Set Series 2 includes Famke Janssen as Jean Grey, Will Yun Lee as Harada (aka Silver Samurai), Hiroyuki Sanada as Shingen and Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida (Wolverine’s love interest). You can check out the first wave of The Wolverine Sumi-e Character Movie Posters here. The Blot seriously can’t wait for this film based on Marvel’s Wolverine min-series from the 1980s by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller!
The Wolverine slices into theaters on July 26, 2013.
