Weekly Roundup #9

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
It has the name of a Jason Statham movie and the poster of...something unique. 

Rogue One will undoubtedly receive a jam-packed, Drew Struzan-esque, Star Wars-style poster later in the year, but as a minimalist teaser poster, this does a pretty good job. The tagline even references Episode IV: A New Hope, which chronologically takes place after Rogue One (a fact that many may have been unaware of). 
You generally wouldn't expect even a teaser poster to arrive so early in a film's production, but it's clear that the filmmakers are making a point by hinting at the return of Colin Firth's deceased(?) character. 
Interestingly, this poster opts for an artistic style, as if a traditional artist (rather than a team of photoshoppers) sat down and made this. Another interesting choice is that the opposing, mirroring faces at the top vaguely resemble the Civil War poster.

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