They Twilighted Near Dark!

Has anyone seen the new cover for lionsgate re-release of Near Dark
http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...or=1#topoftabs

It is a total rip-off of Twilight, can you imagine all those teeny bopper Twilight lovers buying this.

It's a dead link, and if it is what I think it is, it has been posted before in the Asylum DVDs post.

TheDuke - he's trying to link to a picture of the repackaged Near Dark, which makes the characters look like they're from Twilight.

maybe those twilight kids will see what a real vampire movie looks like . I have actually never seen Near Dark (yeah i know) but if i saw that cover, there is no way i would buy it.

Twilight wishes they could've had Nathan Petrelli or Jack Bauer.

They arent stupid. Trying to pick up some sales based on Twilight being so huge right now. Not really all that uncommon.

Re: They Twilighted Near Dark!

I bought The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2: Gruesome Edition and instead of giving us the classic "Breakfast Club"-style artwork they made the cover look like "Saw".

I wish the studios would at least give us a double-sided cover. One side to modernize the film so they can sell it to the teenagers and one side with the original release artwork that we really associate with when we think of the film.

Why can't older films be appreciated as older films. The marketers somehow feel they have to fool consumers into thinking they're buying a modern movie.

When I buy Pink Floyd The Wall on CD, the cover looks just like it did when it was first released on vinyl.

The album cover is the album's identity.

The same should be for films as well.
