Check Out Mondo's Stunning Poster for Brad Bird's 'The Iron Giant'

Before director Brad Bird got involved with the Pixar family on The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and then turned his success into a burgeoning career in live-action films with Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol last year, he was at the helm of a charming animated film called The Iron Giant. Some people have disregarded the film, but if you've taken the time to give it a chance, you'll find a beautiful story of a boy and a giant robot from space that has the same charms of E.T. and just as much heart. Now Laurent Duriex has created a new poster for the film from Mondo as part of a special screening of the film coming up soon.
Here's Mondo's poster for The Iron Giant from artist Laurent Duriex from Alamo Drafthouse:
The poster will be available for sale for at a special free May 26th screening of the movie at the Alamo Ritz in Austin, Texas. If there are any leftover after the screening, they will likely be sold online, but otherwise we don't have any details on this print other than it looks gorgeous. There's a chance I might even like it more than Kevin Tong's Iron Giant poster he made for Mondo to sell last year. In addition, I'm jealous of people over in Austin who attend the free screening and enjoy it on the big screen again or for the first time. If you're not in the area for the screening, follow @MondoNews on Twitter for any updates. Pretty cool?

right with you. i know it's fashionable to knock articles on Mondo, but even if people don't like them, this would *surely* have to be the exception. a lovely, simple image for a charming, beautiful film, conveyed with care and brimming with emotion. 'superman...' still brings me to tears. *every time*.
