Poster of the Week: Wall Street

Okay, so for our first poster of the week, our winner (of nothing) is Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. I chose this little beauty because I feel it perfectly reflects its subject matter. It's understated and simplistic, but effective. You have the larger than life Gordon Gekko standing in all his proud glory, a slight and darker than December at midnight grin on his lips, a hand on the shoulder of Lebouf, who is seated at his side. A protege, an apprentice, maybe even a son like figure in Gekko's life. The poster's also quite cold, with no warmth or love between the men, just a straight backed business formal pose, a 'let's get this picture over with,' impatience happening behind the scenes.

Because, after all, Money Never Sleeps.
