Sperry had this to say about the project:
"I am incredibly honored to have been asked to make a poster for the Coen Brothers' newest film, "Hail, Caesar!" to celebrate the movie's premier.
"The Starlet" is my movie poster of Scarlett Johansson, in her role as the brassy, troubled movie star of 1950's swimsuit extravaganza.
I wanted to cast my poster in a Film Noir style. I limited the palette, but increased the number of colors printed to ten colors, to give my poster a classic movie poster appearance. Two metallics, two spot colors, and a sepia toned shadow glaze combine with five additional colors to create an atmospheric 1950's Los Angeles backlot studio office."
The piece goes on sale at 10am PT this morning, and will only be available while supplies last. This is a really cool style — I love those classic diagonal lines running across Johansson's character.
