Owen’s been getting some pretty amazing gigs lately. He made a poster for Reitman’s latest film, “Young Adult,” which was one of six that was given to attendees at early screenings of the film. He also made posters for the IMAX release of “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.”

His Twitter feed mentions “a fun new project for March.”
