Amazing work so far Cirus! I'm not sure about the curves on the spine, not sure if you're trying to match your LOTR covers but i've cheched the LOTR covers and you don't have the curves on the spine.

Couple of things i think you should fix:
- reduce the leading (the space) between the lines of the back tagline (not sure if it's in fact a tagline or not...), they should be closer than that.
- remove the black stroke on the barcode, it's not necessary and it looks ugly.
- and there's something odd with the credits, not sure what but they look a bit weird..

On a side note, do you plan to change your LOTR covers back design to match this one? This one looks great imo!

- At the spine, the starting point was the lord of the rings, but I didn't want to be exactly the same. I'll figure something.
- I made the credits, so why such weird. :D have the original in psd, but pretty poor quality, and it is better to in editable format.

I will try the other suggestions as well.

I don't know yet to change the LotR covers back. Here the concept is slightly different directly.

Thanks for the sample, i guess it was the small preview that made think that. But.. i think you should reduce the leading between the credits lines too, make them closer and it'll look better :)

I understand your point related with the spine, althought i think they could be equal.. we're talking about related movies right? ;)

Oh, don't take me wrong, i really like your LOTR covers but i believe this back layout with the fronts you did could work. But you're probably right, the fronts are different too (i prefer this one to be honest) :)

Looks really great, Cman! :D :D

I'm pretty sure you have a typo in the credits - I think the company is called 'Wingnut Films'

And I would make the 'c' in McKELLEN small. (you have MCKELLEN)
