COLLIDER: 'You Can Call Me Bill' SXSW Poster Puts William Shatner and Captain Kirk Side by Side [Exclusive]
Today, XYZ Films shared with Collider an exclusive poster for You Can Call Me Bill, a highly anticipated documentary, especially for Star Trek fans. The feature documentary chronicles the life story of William Shatner, who became world-famous after playing Captain James Kirk, one of the most famous characters in sci-fi history. The poster is an SXSW exclusive, which means you won’t get to see it once the movie makes it to the cinema circuit.
The elegant and minimalist poster puts the younger and older Shatners side to side while facing opposing directions. The younger Shatner is bathed in blue light and bears the unmistakable Kirk hairdo, while the older Shatner is shown in black and white. Their outlines are shown like drawings, which play with light and shadow in a way that mostly hides them but shows just enough for you to realize who is who in the poster.
