Poster Design Brief

It's a movie poster. I will need the movie poster design for a sales presentation.


I am a filmmaker heading to the American Film Market with my new film project OPERATION GREENUP - the story of the Real Inglorious Bastard. It's WWII story, there is alpine mountains. There is action. The design will be used for selling the idea to financiers. It is not the final movie poster.

Here is a brief description of the story.

Operation Greenup
is the true story of the
„Real Inglorious Bastard“ - Frederick „Freddy“ Mayer.

As a German Jew, Fred Mayer had to flee Nazi Germany for Brooklyn as a teenager in 1938, only to parachute back into Nazi-controlled Austria seven years later as an American spy on an improbable secret mission:
Operation Greenup.
As the leader of this elite operation, Freddy drops behind enemy lines in February 1945 along with his friend Hans and a Nazi Army deserter. Freddy poses as a German soldier for more than two months in the Tyrol region of Western Austria, gathering critical intelligence on Nazi troop movements as Nazi-Germany teeters toward defeat.
In one of the biggest intelligence coups of the war, Fred Mayer investigates along the Brenner Pass. German military trains are able to keep delivering troops and munitions into Italy, although US bombers already flew several missions against them: Freddy finds out the secret, stops the Nazi trains from rolling and saves thousands of lives on both sides,
Just weeks before the end of the war, however, the Gestapo discovers Fredd’s identity and imprisons him. His German captors torture him for days, waterboarding and pistol-whipping him repeatedly to try to get him to reveal the locations of his fellow US army spies. He would not talk. Instead, with American troops approaching, he urges his captors to surrender, and is freed just as American troops take control of the region.
Operation Greenup is also a story about the triumph of humanity in the midst of the cruelest war. Fred Mayer is one of the great unsung World War II. Until now.

Requirements
Must have
  • It should look llke a WWII action driven movie poster with a deep humanity in it. We could see the mountains and the war .
  • The poster should read
  • OPERATION GREENUP (title)
  • THE TRUE STORY OF THE REAL INGLORIOUS BASTARD. (subline)
Nice to have
  • it should communicate the tension which goes on in the story. The main character blows up a steel bridge above a narrow canyon.
Should not have
  • Since I only have black and white photographs of the people involved as well as some bomber squads attacking but the movie is in color. So I don't want the people to think it will be a black-and-white-movie.
