The Postercowboy has always been a fan of American International Pictures, the company who brought as landmark classics like I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF (followed by I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN in the same year), INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN<\/a>, or ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE. AIP mainly produced movies for a younger audience and the drive-in circuit, which may be one reason they never received the appreciation they deserved. Also, people tend to forget that during the 50s and the 60s American International Pictures was the biggest independent film studio in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Postercowboy remembers of course, and he also remembers a interview with Samuel Z. Arkoff, co-owner of AIP he heard a couple of decades ago. Arkoff vividly described the AIP approach to making movies: First of all, they would dream up a catchy title (see samples above), next they would commission a movie poster, and when that was done they would start thinking about a script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, and always willing to learn from the Best, Rockin’ H Pictures presents the International Style A Advance movie poster for BERLIN OUTLAW BLUES, starring The Mysterious Postercowboy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In good old AIP tradition, we’re not much further yet, but I have a strong feeling that the biggest part is already behind us. I mean, we have a catchy title, we have a great poster, so what could possibly go wrong now? Hello, Hollywood, anybody home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s not even all there is, we also had postcards printed that came in today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t want to give away too much about the story, but it will show a strong influence of Jean-Pierre Melville. Instead of Paris, the film will play in Berlin of course, and instead of gangsters it will have cowboys. But that’s all I will say at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a couple of ideas who should play the Postercowboy, but it’s a tad too early to talk about that as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
