i don't know how this is covered but I don't think they are using them as official poster art they just seem to have taken them from his site and are using them online. He's not ok with it and it wasn't apart of any agreement so its really a matter of appealing to reason and respect.
- and they didn't pay him but sue? not really worth it, they are just being cunts.uuuuuu

if he came up with the idea for the key art and they dont have secured usage its his ip and theyre breaking the law. especially since they agreed on licensing in the future. obv not a a misunderstanding. lawyers need to weigh in of course, but looks to me like pressing would be worthwile, punitive judgements in cases like these all the time.

Does Spike Lee have his own agency?

Spike lee really needs to sort it out.
A simple reply to juan saying he will call the agency and hear their side of the story would have sufficed.- Apparently he's too busy Instagramming in Brazil.Continuity

Serious questine:
Does it bother you to know that we work in an industry that has devolved to a point where you can not trust anyone's word? Where no matter how much someone promises that they won't screw you over, you still have to protect yourself with contracts?
Such a shame!

Shit is about to get real...
Spike Lee Accused Of Stealing 'Oldboy' Movie Poster From An Unpaid Designer.
The latest Spike Lee joint, "Oldboy," came out today. It stars Josh Brolin and it's a remake of a South Korean film that came out a decade ago. It's a dark and twisted movie, and the movie posters promoting it do a good job at capturing that.
But freelance designer and photographer Juan Luis Garcia sent an email to Spike Lee accusing the director's film company of stealing his designs to promote the movie.

Excellent, the CBC has picked up the story:

So posters, in 99% percent of cases, have nothing to do with the director. He/she may chat with the creatives or give a tick of approval, if that.

Best of luck to the artist on this one. The way the agency handled this was wrong. Spike is no agency newbie. He knows the game. He should and can right this.
