Don't forget to decrease the vertical space between the credits lines. Set the leading on this one and it'll look much better.
Synopsis looks a bit small but could be from the preview. What are your plans for that empty box at the back?

It's coming along nicely, just make sure to make "OF" the same size as "THE DIRECTOR."

Thanks guys, need to correct that. Credits were just cut and paste from a download, still need to edit those as they aren't according to retail, will work on the leading too then. It is the way I work. I make the general layout first before working on the details/correcting the details/finetuning colors. But thanks for pointing out, makes it less likely for me to overlook errors.

Great to see some new work from you again Mike!
I really like what you have made so far. The whole style is just perfect for this movie.
As said before I also think that the TT from the screenshot above would be perfect
for this cover. Maybe it will take some more time, but I think its worth it

Been a while since I've been active, due to a new carreer and some bruised ribs, but finally some time to get back in action again.
Worked on the TT wich I captured, had to draw the swirls by hand, I hope they look OK. Tried some of BunnyDojo's suggestions, but am not sure about the shield on the back. Not completely adjusted everythin jet, but imho it looked better on the front and am thinking of putting it back there, but keeping the bigger TT on the front.

This looks great I think.. but this is my 2 cents...
I think the tag looks squeezed on the front.
The shield fits on the back but I thnik It should be smaller.
the TT on the spine looks hard to read :P
You still have "OF" to big on the front.

Shaping up nicely mike! I can see you've gotten your hand on an old set of my grunge-brushes?!
TT Looks great now, tho I'm missing the color-splash from the sheild on the front. Not sure what to do other than bring it back. I might just be the only one missing it tho? Perhaps try bring down the tagline over the forest and make it light-gray instead? Dunno.
For the back I'd lower the opacity of the white-grunge behind the SF's and take another look at the four images you've used. Cause if I were you I'd try to align the top group-image so that the edges correlates to the outer-edges of the three images below the synopsis.
Keep it up mate, awsome stuff in the making - as always!

I liked the shield better on the front, mike - the rest looks cool. Perhaps consider making the pictures on the back pop a little more?

I think I'll have 2 variants, one with the shield on the back and one with the shield on the front.
Here is a small update.
@Bear, could be I used them, not sure wich ones I used or where I got them. I agree with you about hte color splace, that is the reason I'll do 2 variants.
