Lame cover.

Yavin 06-13-07 02:43 PM

That definitely looks like placeholder artwork. I believe if dvd artwork that god-awful were actually released the universe would likely implode.

Seantn 06-13-07 02:43 PM

Cover looks like temporary artwork just to show people what they're buying. The quote is way too big and doesn't even give a source as to who said it.

Yavin 06-13-07 03:56 PM

The real (at least until they decide to revise it) artwork can be found here.

riotinmyskull 06-13-07 04:27 PM

not to threadcrap, but here's the REAL artwork:

sorry, i couldn't resist.

I thought it was a good movie. Depending on the features, I might buy it on opening day, otherwise I can wait until its previously viewed.

Terrible artwork but I think I'll blind buy this once it hits the under $10 price point

As it has been said: it's only temporary... Now, it might still be considered terrible once the official one is released.

if you check out dvdactive.com, they have some slightly different artwork...but more tasteful nonetheless.

Matthew Ackerly 06-13-07 07:22 PM

Yes. what DVDempire has is indeed the artwork, just a smaller quote on the bottom.

Seantn 06-14-07 02:18 AM

And you know this...how?

nateman 06-14-07 07:24 AM

I will most def. be picking this one up (As a blind buy cause I don't go to the theaters as many people know & I just buy thre DVDs). I say just knock Shia off the cover and put a big picture of David Morse on there!

islandclaws 06-14-07 02:28 PM

I'd buy this once it hits $10. So, basically, 2 weeks after it hits shelves the way pricing works these days. I thought it was enjoyable enough to warrant a purchase. It reminded me of a longer episode of something along the lines of "Hitchcock Presents" or an X-Files episode.

hitchcock presents? have you ever seen 'rear window'? the premise is a complete rip-off and i can't believe this wasn't considered a remake.

Seantn 06-14-07 03:10 PM

Thank you for bringing this shocking news to our attention. Nobody has ever made that accusation against this film before.

TheMovieman 07-22-07 11:17 PM

I was listening to the commentary earlier and the director makes reference that they were recording both an audio AND video commentary. I assume this is an exclusive for HD DVD and Blu-Ray but I hadn't read about it before and if it's not on there, is an unrated version on the way at some point?

Zen Peckinpah 07-22-07 11:55 PM

Probably will rent this when it comes out. Reminds me less of Rear Window and more of a teenage Body Double (without the porno and giant drill of course).

tylergfoster 07-23-07 08:29 AM

Watching the film itself, unless you're being picky, you really don't think about Rear Window. At least I didn't.

Yes, and I know it's a blatant rip-off. That's probably (and obviously) exactly why it feels Hitchcockian to me.

Target has an exclusive lenticular slipcover for this and it looks very nice.

TomOpus 08-07-07 06:08 PM

Oh man.... lenticular cover?

philip74 08-07-07 06:21 PM

would be cool of somebody could post a picture of the lenticular cover.
perhaps someone who owns it and does not care about slipcovers could sell theirs to me or trade it for another dvd!
for me paramount has turned to be one of my least favorite companies, simply because they are the stingiest when it comes to slipcovers!!
sometimes not even their 2 disc special editions have one!

OldBoy 08-07-07 06:57 PM

used camera phone so not too good...pics don't do justice but the binoculars look very 3-D. not so much changie lenticular, but more just 3-D coolness.

I hate missing lenticular artwork. It looks good too in those pictures. Maybe I will try for an exchange.

TomOpus 08-07-07 10:29 PM

Thanks for the heads-up about the Target slipcover. I picked mine up. It's not the best use of the technology... but still.
