Movie Geek - Nextmovie.com's 10 of This Summer's Blockbusters Re-Imagined as Indies

You may need to be a proper movie geek to find this entertaining, but if you know indie movies and have an idea of what their posters look like, and the message they convey, then this should give you a chuckle or two.

Summer movies season is all about the blockbusters -- action movies with fist fights and guns blaring. Ch-ching! But blockbusters aren't the only kind of movies at the multiplex this summer; they share space alongside quieter, more critically acclaimed fare. And let's face it, inside every loud, attention-grabbing, big-budget action movie, there's also a sensitive indie just wanting to get out. Right? That's how we like to think of it, anyway. With our friend Old Red Jalopy, we've put a spin on 10 summer blockbusters to picture them as smaller, less explosion-heavy films instead. After all, it's not such a huge leap to see "The Avengers" as a moodily dysfunctional family, or Sylvester Stallone as an aging soldier contemplating the limits of his own mortality (with or without guns). Take a look at these posters for 10 blockbusters re-imagined as thoughtful indies. And if some of you are even more likely to see them now, hey studios, we've got some marketing ideas for you ... 

Check out the rest after the cut.
