The Last Movie-Poster Artist
HOOK, 1991
That was another one of those toughies where the movie came out and they
still didn't have a poster. They had done an advance poster which was just a
hook, and that's what they used to open the movie. Once I painted it, it
came out a week or so after the film. Robin Williams loved his portrait.
Dustin Hoffman didn't. So I go to his house and he comes to the door in his
bathrobe and he has a half gallon of ice cream in his hand. I go in and he
just starts acting for me. "This is the kind of face I want on the poster."
