Maybe, if i'll be able to put some effort in this one, it will do the trick :)
This is the main idea for the back design.
The legal area will be finish only after the front.

Looks like a good idea! I presume the synopsis will be where the sky is?

Not too keen on the big banner on the left side, the one with the still, it takes up a ton of space and adds very little, the rest of the work looks great so far.

Nice back layout so far.

The Quote was written by: Todd McCarthy - The Hollywood Reporter

A few suggestions:

I'd flip the city horizontal because of the lights. At the moment the exposure of the images is different and flipping the city should be the easiest way to fix that instead of painting all shadows for the landscape area. Also Hera's exposure is different to the city's.

The two small characters on the left look a little bit out of place at the moment. I'd brightem them up a bit, they are more far away then Hera. And also add shadows and some rim lights to make them more visible and matched into the scenery.

Also the city is far away so I'd add some mist, fog and/or dirt infront of it to get some optical distance to Hera and the other characters. And I'd do the same on the left side of the landscape .

I also agree with Curt about the banner, for me that doesn't really work there as well. What about a vertical stills row (like Cirus did on his Batman covers for example) over there with some steampunk added between or around the images?

In my personal opinion the 'Digital Code' banner takes away too much attention from your scenery. I guess it's because it's brigthness, so I'd change the background color from that clear wihite to something more similar to the ground above. You might have to change the colors of the texts and logos on it as well but I'm pretty sure that's worth a try.

What Fidi said: add some haze to the city in the background to give the whole scenery some depth. I like the banner on the left side but I would either add at least one more still (1 still alone doesn't work for me) or remove that 1 still and move the whole banner to the left a bit.
