Weekly Roundup #7

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
This is reminiscent of the classic poster for Jaws, just at a different angle, and it can't be a coincidence since The Shallows also involves a great white shark attack.
The four main clones (plus the sheep mask of a fifth) are shown to be different, yet connected by the inkblot formation around them. This poster was actually created by graphic artist Jeff Langevin, who won a poster design contest for Season 4 of Orphan Black.
There's a billion ways to parody Barack Obama's iconic "Hope" campaign poster, but rather than an obvious choice like "Nope" or "Doom", Veep chooses a word that inspires both hope and doubt, quite possibly reflecting the tone of the next season. 
You wouldn't expect anything that can be described as "A PlayStation Original Series" to be any good, and you would probably be right, but this poster utilizes an enthralling 3D effect...although it makes the lettering kinda hard to read. 
It's never good when a sequel is made only because its predecessor's box office sum made up for its nasty critical reception, but at least it gave an opportunity for artist Dave Quibble to pay an homage to the classic comic covers. 

Which poster is your favorite? Tell me in the comments, and feel free to subscribe.
