Drew Struzan, the artist behind some of the most legendary movie posters of all time ("Star Wars," "Blade Runner," "Indiana Jones") is retired. But that doesn't mean he can't strap on the old brush and paints and crank out one of his patented epic iconic one sheets for a project he's passionate about. And that's exactly what he did for Syfy's "Being Human". "Human" star Sam Witwer - who voices Darth Maul on "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" - appeared as the ill-fated soldier who takes blame for the appearance of those Lovecraftian beasties in Frank Darabont's "The Mist." Darabont is a frequent collaborator with Struzan and connected he and Witwer, who then proceeded to get Syfy on board with commissing Struzan - a fan of "Being Human" - to create a poster for the show's third season.

I've lived in a fairly small town for the majority of my life, which means the bowling alley and I have met more than a few times.

We’re going to look at [the live-action series], we’re going to look at all of them, and see what’s right. We weren’t able to discuss this with them until [the acquisition] closed and it just closed. It’s definitely going to be part of the conversation.
