Which "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) cover do you like best?
Their are so many different incarnations of the upcoming and already released Director's Cut/Theatrical Cut that I was wondering which you thought was the best looking.
I actually sold my R3 disc only and kept the art because I don't like the upcoming R1 art which is where this poll arises...

I liked that one as a poster, not so much as a dvd cover.

The region 2 cover is a picture of Sarah Polley trying to escape from her bathroom window at the beginning of the film.... And the effect around the edges is tons of zombie hands grabbing towards her. I kinda like it, but prefer the original US Theatrical Poster, and the R3 theatrical dvd cover with the guy on it.

Even though it seems to be a poster for a different movie, I like this image the best.
I thought the Region 1 covers looked terrible, but looks like the cover to some lazy street cornor bootleg.
I assume that was Silly Groucho who proclaimed it his favorite.

i was going with the zombie girl too, but the eyes don't really look zombified and what is with the shapeshifting squares...seems more appropriate for "Resident Evil 1"...anyway i like the subtle, no reveal of the R2 Premium.

As of my vote for "None," the R3 Director's is leading with 14 votes and the R2 Premium is just 2 votes behind (12). "None" has 6 votes.
I guess the R1 stuff comes closest to capturing the essence of the movie (which is what a poster or cover should do). But none of them quite capture it . . . the blood spattered addition adds a little more, but the one zombie offset to the side of the cover is rather plain.
The R2 Premium looks like it should be for a made for TV movie with Judd Nelson . . .
. . . the zombie girl is neat to look at, but does little to convey any message.
The R2 Director's with Sarah Polley looks like it is straight from the 70's. While the composition is neat and the colors are meaningful, again it doesn't convery much about the movie.
