The highly anticipated series The Last of Us premiered on HBO last night, with so many users tuning in that the HBO Max app crashed around the time the first episode began streaming. The nearly hour-and-a-half-long episode has been widely praised by critics and audiences alike, with particular acclaim for its faithfulness to its source material, the videogame of the same name that came out in 2013.

A fight scene got a little too real on the set of The Punisher when lead star Thomas Jane inadvertently stabbed pro wrestler and actor Kevin Nash.

But bringing these stories to life on the big screen takes an incredible amount of time, effort, and, of course, money. One aspect of movie-making that often goes overlooked is the cost of props – the physical objects that help bring a film’s sets, costumes, and characters to life....

We’ve all seen movie posters, whether proudly encased outside the theater or hanging from a teenager’s wall. A great movie poster is memorable, iconic at best. Consider the amount of times you’ve encountered Uma Thurman glaring at you as she’s laying on her stomach smoking a cigarette. Movies are so much more than an entertaining experience, they are a part of our culture. The reproduction of movie posters can perpetuate a film’s relevancy, total earnings, and cultural impact long after their time in the box-office....
