Ride Along (2013) Original Advance Movie Poster Rolled DS – 27x40 Ice Cube Kevin Hart “Coming Soon”
RIDE ALONG
Original U.S. Theatrical Advance Movie Poster – Ice Cube & Kevin Hart Design
An original U.S. theatrical advance poster for the 2014 action-comedy Ride Along, directed by Tim Story and starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.
This early promotional design features the two leads standing beside a Dodge Challenger, with the poster presented primarily in black, white and gray while the large yellow Ride Along title and Kevin Hart’s bright green shoes provide dramatic color accents.
The memorable campaign tagline reads:
“Propose to this cop’s sister? Rookie mistake.”
That exact tagline is documented on the official theatrical artwork for the film. IMP Awards identifies this design as the first Ride Along poster and dates its appearance to September 25, 2013, several months before the film’s January 2014 theatrical release.
What makes this example particularly useful for collectors is the advance-release presentation. Rather than displaying the final January 17 release date, the poster simply announces:
“COMING SOON”
The bottom carries the Universal Pictures studio mark and © 2013 Universal Studios copyright, confirming that this promotional version was produced during the film’s 2013 advance campaign even though the movie itself was released in 2014.
The film pairs Ice Cube as veteran Atlanta police detective James Payton with Kevin Hart as Ben Barber, the prospective brother-in-law trying to prove that he is worthy of marrying James’s sister. The supporting cast includes Tika Sumpter, John Leguizamo, Bruce McGill and Laurence Fishburne. The film opened theatrically on January 17, 2014.
A strong display piece for collectors of Kevin Hart, Ice Cube, action-comedy films, buddy-cop movies, Universal Pictures memorabilia, or original theatrical advertising.
