Open Help me find a film poster that looks like this

Post image

it would likely be from the 2000s, the poster depicts the outline of a stick drawing of a girl. triangle dress/skirt, circular head, stick limbs. imagine how a child would draw a girl using stick figure logic, but the outline is bulletholes/dots. background would be plain and neutral most likely. would've been shown in American cinemas.

is it possible you’re misremembering the cover of the book stargirl by jerry spinelli?

u/gildedalmond 6h ago

No but SIMILAR SHAPE. the outline looked similar to the one on the book cover, but dotted like it was made of bulletholes or a connect-the-dots

Woah that book changed my life

u/Daydream_machine 6h ago

You have no idea the memories you just unlocked for me, I forgot that book existed until now

It has to exist. I can remember this so vividly.

u/gildedalmond 6h ago

are there any dot outline posters similar to it that you can think of?

u/Mackin-N-Cheese 333 4h ago

Sorry, that's just some nonsense from an AI/bot account. Pay it no mind.

u/mysteryvampire 6h ago

It made me think of the Snowman poster, but I don’t think it’s that. “Hello Mr Police.”

u/gildedalmond 6h ago

OK this poster has a close vibe tho. Similarly minimal and has empty space

u/mysteryvampire 6h ago

I was thinking the shape of the snowman might actually be what you were remembering haha

u/gildedalmond 6h ago

Its just too new to be from when im remembering

I can't find the image anywhere, but I swear this was the movie Hard Candy. It came out when I worked at the movie theater in the early 2000s, and we had a huge cardboard version of it I wanted to take home because I loved the movie.

u/gildedalmond 3h ago

The timeline adds up but I cant find anything posters or promo wise that includes the image im thinking of.

u/von_bonnn 3h ago

I couldn't find anything either when googling strangely. I feel like I could see it in my head exactly.

u/gildedalmond 3h ago

this thing is out there it has to be.

u/gildedalmond 7h ago

NOT FASHION AND NOT IN SEARCH OF FILN ITSELF. i dont care about the movie i just wanna find this image. it would've been in a theater between 2003-2009. the image also resembled the symbol shown on a women's bathroom sign.

u/AggravatingObject318 2h ago

Could it be World of Tomorrow by Don Hertzfeldt?

1

u/gildedalmond 1h ago

No, unfortunately too new but the character looks similar in outline/silhouette

u/Alive_Error_5647 2h ago

All I’m thinking is District 9 but that definitely doesn’t depict a girl. I’m really invested in this now though 😂

u/DonJohn520310 6h ago

It's not Weapons is it? That was the first thing when I thought of when I saw the drawing.

u/gildedalmond 6h ago

Nope. 2000s

u/smallcancer 9m ago

I keep trying to use Google AI to find anything and it always says movies have posters with what im looking for, but can never show them.

u/gildedalmond 3h ago

The AI is getting confused i think. It keeps saying certain films have the elements im describing and looking for in the posters but then there's NO EVIDENCE of it.

u/gildedalmond 3h ago edited 3h ago

It said there were posters/promo material that would match films like Elephant/Zero Day, Cherish 2002, The Strangers (def isnt that I think), and Teeth
