Jared and the promos...

[ash48]

No ground breaking observations here, but I am fascinated by their choices in this poster. Also...Jared and that tee! (potential spoilers)





Another photoshop effort from the graphics department. I rather like it (much more than last year's!). It's atmospheric and seems to have a narrative of some sort. In most promo posters Sam is strong and looking forward. Here he is the only one looking down and not engaging the viewer. I suspect it reflects his state going into S9 but I have to assume he's not going to remain this wrecked for long. It makes me curious why they chose to show Sam like this. Maybe it's purely based on the first episode. I love how strong and determined Dean looks - Crowley and Cas do too for that matter. Also, Sam has metal bands on his wrists. I assume one is his watch. What's the other one I wonder? A bracelet? Since when?

And that tee! *guh* He's seen in much of the promo stuff in this t-shirt. I figure it's about making him look stripped back - almost vulnerable. I dunno! Maybe they've dressed him in this simply because he looks damn hot in it - but all these things are taken into consideration when preparing for a promo shoot so dressing him in a clingy, grey t-shirt has to mean something. Doesn't it?! (ok...so it's just so we can see more of his arms...I'M NOT COMPLAINING!)







Aaaaanyway. All the promos have been pretty cool (and HOT!). It feels like there's quite a different feel going into S9. Less horror and more..I dunno..sexy intrigue? We shall see I suppose. TWO WEEKS PEOPLE!!

It seems the picture is of Jensen, Jared, Cas and Crowley. Seeing as that the first two are not in costume and the latter two are.

LOL the promo shots all hit the wrong note for me. I like the poster OK but I just think all the promo shots look...goofy.

maybe I'm just a cranky bitch.

I seriously need this show to start again. I'm traumatized by Breaking Bad, and I just miss our boys SO.

Time to start peeking around LJ again, methinks.... :)

While I really like the dark and atmospheric feel of the promo piece, I've got to agree with linvro21 above. No matter how much we'd like it to be true, Sam and Dean never dress that way. While Crowley and Castiel always do. That is indeed Jared and Jensen, not Sam and Dean.

. . . which is kinda sloppy work on the promo department's part, if you ask me.

Unless, of course, S9 is giving us a "revamped" Sam and Dean, and the boys will be showing off more of their pretty skin and sexy curves physical assets this season? *hopes like mad*

The bracelet is actually JARED's cuff with Thomas' birthdate on it. I find it odd that they included it in the promo shots.

Sam's pose definitely makes him seem very introspective. I doubt it means anything because LOLCWMARKETING but you never know lol!

[linvro21.livejournal.com]

I like Jared/Sam's boots! And Jensen/Dean's jacket :)

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

{{{hugs}}} - I've missed you!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh...that makes sense. Well, it kind of doesn't because why would they do that? But, thank you. That clears that up.

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

You make fandom such a positive place to hang around. What would we do without you?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

The pink shirt/boys in suit ones? Or the one with them by the window? Or both?!

I think, looking at all the promo stuff there's a strange mix of..um...messages. I'm not sure what the green frame ones are all about. They are definitely goofy to me. I don't mind the others because...well, I'm damn superficial and they look rather beautiful...;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I do too!! I haven't watched Breaking Bad - but I've heard lots of things about how traumatic it is.

And hey!! Welcome back! :))

(let's hope we're in for a more enjoyable ride this season eh?)

Actually the more you think about the wardrobe choices for this the weirder it gets - because (COSTUME SPOILER!!!!!)


Castiel looses the trenchcoat this season....

But I really really wish they would just take a LITTLE more care with these promo posters - why waste all the lovely new photo shoot pics on a poorly put together poster? Why not let the SPN design guys do the artwork? Or like someone else suggested, have an open competition for fans to contribute? It would get them free designs and I guarantee hugely better quality, and the buzz in fandom for such a competition would be fierce.

Oh well too late now and this one does have some merit... LOL!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yes. I can see it now. *head scratch* They don't dress like that at all. It therefore makes no sense to me. Other than them using photos they all ready have and making a poster from them (damn!).

You'd think with all the promo dollars they seem to have they could take some pics of Sam and Dean (though - I felt like the pics by the window were Sam and Dean. I was thinking maybe we were going to be getting a slightly revamped look for the boys...(but probably not). Ack! I'm confused....

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh it is?! That's both confusing AND what the...? I rather like it - but it definitely makes it clear that that's Jared not Sam (though it's a Sam pose....)

And yeah - probably means nothing. At least there's no snakes this time...

[linvro21.livejournal.com]

I guess they didn't have a whatshamacallit on set when the pictures were taken: continuity manager, script supervisor?

Probably filmed the promo's and took the pictures on the same day.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh honey...what a sweet thing to say. <3

Can you tell I'm getting a bit excited?! I desperately want something to squee about this season (even if I have to dig a little deeper to find it...;D)

*hugs*

[ayane42.livejournal.com]

someone on tumblr mentioned the cuffs on Sam's wrists and suggested a sexual purpose :p but really......

shackles? something to do with the trials and how Dean gets him off his death bed?

but then again, i would trust that the CW and Supernatural promo department would have to pass this by TPTB but considering that they didn't remember about the Grand Canyon, yeah, i don't know.

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

Good God, I LOVE Jared/Sam's boots (and those never-ending legs!) and Jensen/Dean's sexy jacket (not to mention those nicely snug jeans). I would love, love, LOVE to see them dressed that way all the time, mmmm-hmm!

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

I felt like the pics by the window were Sam and Dean. I was thinking maybe we were going to be getting a slightly revamped look for the boys...(but probably not). Ack! I'm confused....

I understand exactly. Let's keep hoping for the sexy revamp, shall we? Because gawd, Jared and Jensen and Sam and Dean look GOOD that way. . .

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I agree!! We had that promo by the window with Cas (maybe Misha?) without the coat and then we have this one with the coat. We have the boys in suits (Sam and Dean I assume?) and then in the clothes they have above. And then jared in sexy pink!

What a mix. I totally agree there should be a fan competition. They would definitely to a better job than these guys I reckon. ;)

I don't mind the composition of this one - and the mood, but the costume choices are rather weird.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Apparently he bracelet is actually Jared's cuff with Thomas' birthdate on it. (see above comment).

Though I do rather love the sexual purpose...or shackles!! (It reminded me of a hospital name tag...).

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I like the mood and the background - but as someone pointed out - ohw come Crowley is as tall as the church? And I think Jared's top half looks totally out of scale with his legs. AND they've photoshopped out Jensen's adorable bow legs which is a crime!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I saw somewhere that the authors are totally gutted about the Grand Canyon cock up - hopefully that will make them more attentive in future!

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

Both! It's like none of them look like the show I recognize. Nor are they all that artistic. Like, the poses are weird, the sets look cheap, and while I like the Tshirt on Jared it doesn't look like the character to me. *shrug* I guess I'm just a cranky bitch, LOL.

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

yes
