Original 2010 Double-Sided U.S. Advance One-Sheet Movie Poster – Will Ferrell / Mark Wahlberg

Director: Adam McKay
Studio / Distributor: Columbia Pictures / Sony Pictures Releasing

DESCRIPTION

This is an authentic original 2010 U.S. theatrical advance movie poster for The Other Guys, the buddy-cop action comedy starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg and directed by Adam McKay.

The poster features Ferrell and Wahlberg in an exaggerated airborne action pose against a smoky gray background, both brandishing handguns while their police badges and ties fly around them. The deliberately over-the-top action imagery captures the film’s parody of conventional buddy-cop movies while prominently showcasing its two stars.

Across the top are the names:

WILL FERRELL
MARK WAHLBERG

The lower portion features the large THE OTHER GUYS title with the early-release wording:

“THIS SUMMER”

The bottom-left also states “THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED,” confirming this as an advance / pre-release campaign design rather than the later fully rated theatrical artwork.

The film was directed by Adam McKay, who co-wrote it with Chris Henchy, and stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg alongside Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Ray Stevenson, Dwayne Johnson, and Samuel L. Jackson.

IMP Awards documents the film’s original 2010 poster campaign and credits the design work to Ignition and LA, with photography by Mark Seliger on one of the principal theatrical designs.

This is an original studio-issued theatrical poster — not a reproduction or later decorative print.

The exact poster shown in the photographs is the poster the buyer will receive.

GENRE

For Shopify, I would use:

Genre: Comedy

Secondary genres:

Action / Crime / Buddy Cop

Comedy is the strongest primary genre because the movie’s main identity is its Will Ferrell / Adam McKay comedy pairing, while the action and buddy-cop elements are important secondary search terms.

CONDITION

Condition: See photos.

Please review all photographs carefully because they form part of the condition description and show the exact poster being offered.

The poster appears to have been stored rolled rather than traditionally folded.

Magnets are used only to hold the poster flat for photography and are not included.

COLLECTOR NOTES

This poster has several attributes that strengthen its appeal:

Adam McKay film
Columbia Pictures release
Action-comedy / buddy-cop artwork
