Travis Scott: The Face of New Movie Posters
In an exciting turn of events, Travis Scott just announced that he’d be putting out a brand new single titled, ‘The Plan’ this week. Oh, but here’s the kicker: The new track will find a space on the soundtrack for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming action film “Tenet”.
Now, this is no ordinary feat for the young rap star to come by. Much like Christopher Nolan himself, Scott has grown a fondness for dramatic stage sets, bright visuals and strong themes. It’s one of the star’s defining factors, as a musician. A Travis Scott concert is not just a concert, it’s a visual spectacle – one that’s entirely immersive and captivating. So, to celebrate Scott’s exploration of the soundtrack territory for a big budget film, we’ve tracked down all his visuals that could make for a great movie poster.
If you thought the man had a flair for the dramatics on stage, you might want to give his Instagram a proper scroll though – it’s a whole art museum over there. And so, we’ve taken the liberty of giving each visual a title and description. So, go ahead and dive right in.

1. “Chase Me Down” – Under this blood-red lighting, Travis looks prepared to audition for the next big thriller film, which would ideally include a lot of car chases.
2. “I Come From The Future” – We can’t see the rapper’s gorgeous face too clearly here, but that’s all part of this piece of art. And yes, he certainly looks like he travelled from a robot-rampaged future.
3. “The Dark” – Well, considering the ominous backdrop, this could easily be a shot right out of a horror movie. No one’s going to bother asking why Travis has his shirt off, but are we really complaining?
4. “Two Sides of A Coin” – We don’t know about you guys, but we’re getting some ‘Donnie Darko” vibes right here. All that’s left is for Travis to put on a mask.
5. “Real” – Is this reality? Is it a dream? The painfully bright colours and endless towers of suitcases make it look like Scott is starring in an Absurdist Comedy.
6. “The High Life” – We’re not sure what genre to squeeze this one into, but for the time being, can we appreciate how aesthetic this man looks, bathed in sunlight??
7. “All That Glitters” – First off, it’s not fair that someone can pull off sparkly braces that well. It also feels like we’re watching Scott transform into something otherworldly.
8. “The Neon Landing” – Yup, we can bet, he just stepped out of a UFO. Bizarre green lighting? Check. Strange smoke? Check. Travis looking like a voyager from a distant planet? Check.
9. “Strike One” – Put Mr. Scott under ominous blue lighting and he simply glows. (While also looking a tad bit intimidating.)
10. “The Last Piece” – We’re simultaneously terrified and captivated. This is what we meant when we said that all of Travis’s visuals on Instagram can hang up in the finest art museums.
