Other films featured in the collection include Labyrinth from The Jim Henson Company and Dirty Dancing, The Twilight Saga, and The Hunger Games from Lionsgate. Each puzzle reimagines a memorable cinematic moment as an immersive, hands-on experience – inviting fans to revisit the emotion, nostalgia and storytelling that made these films iconic.
Created with premium materials and gallery-worthy design, each puzzle is packaged in a collector-grade box and includes a two-sided poster for display or reference during assembly. A monthly subscription option for fans who want to build their collection year-round is also available.
"I was inspired by a simple idea: what if the most memorable moments from our favorite movies could live beyond the screen in a way fans can touch, build, and relive?" said Elliot. "Cinema Puzzles creates a fresh yet familiar way to experience those moments, allowing fans to connect, rebuild the scene piece by piece and rediscover the magic of the film."
Elliot, whose screenwriting credits include Brown Sugar, Just Wright, Like Mike, Ruth & Boaz, and the recent romantic comedy Relationship Goals, has spent decades crafting stories. He now brings that storytelling expertise beyond the screen and into this new category-defining brand.
Cinema Puzzles will feature over 250 first-of-its-kind puzzles at launch and be available direct-to-consumer beginning May 19 on www.cinemapuzzles.com. Prices range from $29 to $49.
