Haha. When I saw that, I was wondering to myself "What the fuck movie is "Do You Have What It Takes?"" No way they'll go with this one.

PopcornTreeCt

It's different. It's like how Stephen King book is titled "Stephen King".

DVDfile.com is showing this for the cover art now:



I think this is much easier to believe than that first posted image....

AmityBoatTours

i actually perfer the first image, as its more classy. where as the second image is merely the Version C one sheet.
I will be buying this its a really well done movie, and Meryl Streep nails Julia Childs perfectly there were times watching the film i thought i was really watching Julia Childs

GenPion

I like that cover better personally.

davidh777

Yes, that's annoying, but I figured that was egos/agents wanting the biggest stars to be first in the listing and in the middle in the picture.

Well, during contract negotiations the billing order is locked, with things like names above/below the title and in what order all being settled. Cover artists never bother to think about that when they're designing covers, which is why it always happens.TOLD YA!

RobLutter

Yeah... like Danny Devito is always featured last billing (to my recollection) as "and Danny Devito as..." or just "and Danny Devito"

I'd be one of those guys if I were an actor. heh. Draw up my contract!

They should really look at the billing when they do the shots for the cover of the poster/DVD/Blu. It's really the photographer's fault for not compensating for this in most cases.

tylergfoster

They don't even do shots anymore, they just take individual stills from the movie and compose them together in Photoshop. There was some photo gallery several months back illustrating how images including Clint standing in front of the car for Gran Torino and several other recent posters were taken straight out of the movie, no shoot required.

MoviePage

Really enjoyed this movie, a definite purchase regardless of the cover.

The Bus

Don't worry, I've contacted the studio and told them that true BD fans don't want to see the original one-sheet used as the cover for a disc.



I've also told them to make the heads bigger in their new proposed cover.

TheDuke

Nothing says classy like a good 'ol scrotum joke!

Moleman1138

the testicular poster would be better for disc art

Adam Tyner

The (possibly?) new cover isn't a Photoshop bunchaheads job, though...it was just a later poster. I'd guess the eggs sheet is a teaser while the heads is the "real" poster.

WMAangel

"Stay classy, San Diego"

Peep

Why would they do that? The billing is part of the movie contract. The movie cover art is designed to best sell a movie. The two have nothing to do with each other. That being said, I do wish the billing matched the covers more.

AmityBoatTours

sorry but i fail to see where a poster of two eggs laying next to each other has anything to do with what you say, obviously my mind is not in the gutter.

beebs

really, two round items nestled up against each other... below "Do you have what it takes?" doesn't suggest to you, "Do you have the balls?" No gutter needed there... besides since when has 'balls' and guts/fearlessness been a gutter topic?

HappyRabbit

I'm LMAO at this thread and I'm really not sure why

Michael Corvin

I looked the cover over and thought, hmmm, never heard of "Do You Have What it Takes."

AmityBoatTours

no not really but then again i dont have a tendency to think of a part the male anatimy when i see an EGG laying next another one. but hey what do i know.

rdclark

I blame the teabaggers.

Daytripper

Egads! I'd like to push this to the front of the line, as the worst.

riotinmyskull

^ i have no problem with that cover because it looks like an old music festival poster...which is fitting.
