Making poster from movie screenshot.

[ozymandias]

How realistic is this? I want to print a poster from a movie screenshot. Blueray is in the neighbourhood of 1920x1200 pixels does that mean that unless I have access to theatrical/working copies which are much higher resolution I'm stuck with smaller size/exploded image?

Probably, but you could look at this http://www.blockposters.com/

Rasterbator's not right for this...he wants a poster and not a rasterbated wall covering...

blu-ray isnt a lot of resolution to work with but if you enlarge it through genuine fractals to the desired size and send it off to someone who prints posters (I once set up a cafepress store and then bought from my own store for the cheapest posters I could find)...it shoudl look ok

most posters don't look great anyways

Some blurays are horrible quality despite being 1080p. I've also thought of this... and a 13 x 19 print would be my limit with a good bluray transfer.

That doesn't sound too bad. I'm thinking of printing 2 posters around that sie from the 'Shadow on the Sun' scene from Collateral.

One of Tom Cruise with the palms in the background and the other with the night palms blowing to the side with an airplane.

Do you have a large format printer? Many places like Kinkos won't print copyrighted material.
