Now that the
Holidays are drawing to a close and the
New Year is looming, it's time to get back to the business of movies.
This month these evocative
Gangster Squad billboards have overtaken the skies of
Los Angeles.
Originally due for a September 2012 release, the similarities between the horrific
Aurora theatre shootings and a scene in the period gangster movie required re-shoots and resulted in a delayed release date of January 2013.
Set in 1940's and 1950's
L.A., the film centers around a rogue cop squad trying to stop
East Coast Mafia types led by
Sean Penn's underworld boss,
'Mickey Cohen', from invading the
City of Angels.
Josh Brolin leads the
LAPD officers operating outside the law and the crime flick sees him butting heads with
Sean Penn again, just like he did in
Milk.
Meanwhile
Emma Stone and
Ryan Gosling find themselves getting romantic again and hopefully sharing that same on screen chemistry they had in
Crazy Stupid Love.
Be sure to also check out these original cars, costumes and movie props from
Gangster Squadon display at the
Petersen Automotive Museum.
These billboards were snapped all over the streets of
L.A., along
La Cienega Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, Beverly Boulevard and even high above
Sunset & Vine from December 14 to December 19, 2012.
Daily Billboard has long been admirer of this Perry Ellis Aqua fragrance billboard.
The ad creative has been around for some time, but that bold blue, plus the handsome features and piercing eyes of Nir Lavi really stand out against the L.A. skyline.
The smaller format Aqua cologne billboards were snapped along Santa Monica Boulevard at Robertson Boulevard on November 28, plus along Beverly Boulevard on December 20.
The standard landscape format was spotted along Wilshire Boulevard on December 15, 2012 just in time for the Christmas gifting season.
If you're a fan of the fashion brand, be sure to also check out this giant Perry Ellis bow tie billboard from earlier this Fall.
As 2012 draws to a close, Daily Billboard couldn't help but be drawn to this philosophical billboard from Silver Jeans Co. 'The in between moments are the ones that count', indeed.
A seemingly new addition to the skies of L.A. this year, the jeans brand certainly has a way of catching your eye with its fresh faced creatives.
These billboards were spied along Beverly Boulevard just before The Beverly Center on May 5 with the denim shorts creative, on July 24 for the sun's rays version and with the latest cardboard sign creative on December 18, 2012.
If you're a fashionista, you'll also want to check out more stylish jeans billboards here at Daily Billboard.
And like the ad says, be sure to make all your moments count.
The final countdown to the New Year has begun and the question you should be asking yourself is not where you'll be celebrating the end of 2012 and the dawn of 2013, but more importantly where do your bubbles come from?
True champagne comes from the Champagne wine region in France, so don't be fooled this New Year's Eve with all those overpriced bottles of 'I-can't-believe-it's-not-champagne' and stick to the real thing for the best taste experience.
To help usher 2013 in style, enjoy these champagne billboards from this holiday season and also a giant blast from the past.
Meanwhile the 'question mark' champagne advocacy creative was spied along Vine Street in Hollywood on December 15, 2012.
Daily Billboard hopes your New Year celebrations will have some sparkle whatever fizz you decide to drink.
With the New Year looming it's time to bust out the mid-season replacements to plug the holes in the television schedules caused by the shows that didn't quite rise to the occasion this Fall.
It always amazes Daily Billboard how much money the studios spend to launch fledgling shows and a vast majority of them don't seem to last beyond three to six episodes.
Hopefully NBC's Deception can buck this trend because these special extension billboards are certainly intriguing advertisements for the new crime drama.
Meagan Good's female 'Detective Joanna Locasto' is forced to go undercover to find the killer when her wealthy socialite friend is murdered.
These special extension creatives really are quite eye-catching, especially at this time of year when there are not so many gimmicky billboards filling the skies.
The 'To find the truth. She'll become a lie' creative was snapped along Sunset Boulevard and Cahuenga Boulevard on December 19, whilst the 'Suspect everyone' face special extension was spotted along the Sunset Strip on December 21, 2012.
Here's wishing you a fun-filled New Year's Eve whatever you get up to, and stick around to usher in 2013 with a fresh and fabulous new TV WEEK.
Who knew that Stella Artois was originally brewed to celebrate the holidays, Daily Billboard certainly didn't.
This ad creative is a clever way to make the beer brand more relevant at this time of year when hot toddies, eggnog and cocktails are being drunk and bottles of spirits are being given as gifts.
This simple, festive billboard was photographed along Sunset Boulevard above the Carney's hot-dog train restaurant on December 15, plus along Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks on November 25, 2012.
If you're a fan of the beer, be sure to check out these other Stella Artois beer billboard ads.
This year Disneyland has done a wonderful job of making their newest attraction Cars Land fit into their seasonal message, don't you think?
Lightning McQueen, Mater and their Radiator Springs pals look very festive on those wintery landscapes in their Santa hats and ear-muffs.
And if these fun billboards are helping you get in the Christmas spirit, be sure to also check out these Disneyland Holiday Lights billboards from previous years.
And if you're a fan of these Disney/Pixar characters make sure you also take a look at these billboards for the opening of Disney's Cars Land earlier this year.
These festive billboards were snapped along Cahuenga Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard from November 10 to December 19, 2012.
