I'm not 100% sure if it's something I did or he just has a pretty strong tan -- I've lightened his face a little bit in the update below. After I've got another photo of him on the back for comparison, that might help in fine tuning things further.

Sounds good, I'll try some effects on the title next update.

If I remember the scene, we're on the side of a hill here, so in front of the cars is a concrete safety barrier maybe 2'-3' tall. It does look a little weird... I'll try seeing if adding texture to the concrete barrier helps.

There's still more work needed on the cars, but this is starting to look somewhat convincing.

Great work!!
A few thoughts:
- add contrast overall
- maybe blue TT and small TT so the "H" is easier to read over a clearer bg during a squint test for clarity?
- what about a tagline that helps us lead our eyes quicker to the gun at the bottom of frame?
- I think the bg bright sky spot should be screen left rather than screen right? But also if it looks cooler here, leave it
- try a slight defocus on the background? I may make the image a little more dynamic?

I took a quick break from the front to try building a back. Started with this:

But the screen captures weren't too exciting and the layout felt heavy, so I switched to something breezier:

The back images just need a little bit more finish, and I'll try some overall adjustments along the lines of Paris' suggestions to see if the design can look a bit more dynamic rather than just simple photos. (And I'll also try some more on the title treatment.)

Thanks for all of the comments so far.

I like breezier, breezier is good

Nice work on this Tim, love all aspects of it

Only one little suggestion, maybe try the light gold from the car on the front for the features box rather than the white?

Nice spot Curt, and I agree. Maybe even add it on the quote as well? Looking great or should I say breezie

They both look good, but I personally am swayed slightly to the first. I like the image layout with Pamela Tiffin blended in. Gold features bar is a good shout

They both look really good but I do prefer the second one. I like how the special features box lines up with the pool.

i like both version. the SF box lining up with the pool as sauron stated looks great. the only part that sticks out to me is Paul's image. i.e. he's huge

For two of the suggestions -- changing the SF box to light yellow and flipping the front sky -- I like the result, but I also really like how it was, so it's kind of a toss-up:

For me, I like it much more with the yellow, for sure!
