Not bad..

ya... Not Bad. The Blu-ray Cover is just "ok".

All of the posters for the film were Wicked... They should have just used one of them. that would have been much better.

Dang, that's pretty disappointing...

"The coolest movie around"...but the lamest cover art they could find.

i love that artwork!

The Driver · 11-24-2011, 06:28 AM

I like that except the dumb "THE COOLEST MOVIE AROUND." Around what? 90mins? Around South Central LA? That jacket reminds me of someone I knew who worked for USSF. He had the very same almost (and was just as dangerous).

Mind the UK artwork may be two types as we're getting a Steelbook too http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...do?&sku=457685

Amazon will have the non-Steelbook version http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005VP822M

Bring on January!

Well... That's absolutely hideous.

I'm still going to buy it but it's as if they were ashamed of this film and wanted to pretend it was something completely different.
They even covered the title in fake dirt and changed it to yellow.

I really hope the artwork isn't final... I really expected better from the studio that released the classy The Social Network BD last year.

If the UK version is region free, I'll get that instead. I guess no money would go to Sony but that's what happens when they give such an amazing film such horrid artwork.

joenostalgia23 · 11-24-2011, 07:40 AM

"artwork subject to change"

Thank god. There are so many wonderful posters to their disposal, all they'd need to do is remove some text and crop the image. No need to change the color of the title and photoshop Gosling's profile into oblivion.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

KarmaNL · 11-24-2011, 09:13 AM

this has custom cover written all over it.

I'd op for that as a slipcover, and have this poster as the insert:

KarmaNL · 11-24-2011, 12:42 PM

yes anything but what they've come up with so far.

I wish I had a job at some studio's art department. I could spend 20 mins photoshopping the crap out of some bluray covers and spend the rest of the day drinking coffee and eating sandwiches

What were they thinking

Rusty100 · 11-24-2011, 02:55 PM

i'd use my own custom art!

mcthuggin99 · 11-25-2011, 11:26 PM

not a fan of the artwork, but im still gonna be forced to buy it

victimofthecity · 11-26-2011, 01:01 AM

Can't wait for this. Wanted to see it since it released.

mcthuggin99 · 11-26-2011, 01:26 AM

the artwork would look better if the title was the original pink, the critic quote was removed, and if Gosling didnt look SOOO photoshopped into that background.

someone needs to be contacted so they can know that many people are unhappy about this artwork

The official cover art looks like something that would grace a R.L. Stine book.

mcthuggin99 · 11-26-2011, 05:59 PM

doesnt it kinda remind you of the Faster blu ray cover? only thing that one needed is a car and a helicopter badly photoshopped in the back

Great movie! Even better soundtrack. The soundtrack is hauntingly brilliant with the movie.

I'll be interested to see this again as I saw the cut with some of the Social Network score in it.
