The Most Dangerous Game Movie Poster Project
For this project, you will create a movie poster that advertises your 2015
remake of The Most Dangerous Game. You will be graded on your creativity,
attention to detail, as well as the information that you provide. The poster will
be presented in class and explained. It should look like a movie poster that you
see in the theatres—informative and interesting to the viewer. Your poster
project must have the movie write-up completely filled out or your poster will
not be graded.
You will receive zero credit for the project if the write-up is not complete.
Due Date:____________
Requirements
 Must be created on a minimum of 11x14 paper (provided by
Ms.Gray), or you may provide your own poster paper.
 Title of novel must be in large writing and should stand out on
your movie poster. Must say ―Based on the short story by

 List TWO famous movie stars and ―cast them in the main
character roles for your movie. The stars of your movie should
be named and pictured on your poster (you may print or cut
out pictures of these actors).
 You will include one quote from the story that you believe will
catch the attention and cause suspense for the audience

 The overall tone of the poster should evoke the tone of
suspense.
Brainstorming Movie Poster Ideas
1. Who could I have play Rainsford? Why would they be good a
choice? What quote can I use to support this?
2. Who could I have play General Zaroff? Why would they be good a
choice? What quote can I use to support this?
3. What can I do to make my poster suspenseful? What colors do I
want to use? What do I want to draw? What quote am I going to
use to add suspense?
4. Comparing my 2015 movie, how will it be different than the
story? How will it be different than the 1932 version?

Rainsford, to support your understanding of his character and the actor you’ve
chosen to play him.
This description should be no shorter than 4 sentences long, either written
neatly or typed.

quote adds suspense for audiences.
