This has to be a new record for spoofing. The new movie poster for Henry Poole is Here is a clear parody of Shepard Fairey’s now-famous Obama “Progress” poster.

I don’t really mind the spoof, just pointing out the speed at which Hollywood took notice of the original art. I think it’s safe to say that movie posters don’t usually spoof, or even make reference to, other design work. (with obvious exception to Scary Movie and other spoof films) If it wasn’t already, the Obama poster is now officially part of the cultural collection.

It should also be pointed out that this poster is much more striking than the previous one for Henry Poole. One gets noticed, the other, forgotten.
