This one is going to take a while, so I figured I'd enlist some help from my pals early on.
I'm guessing it's in the 'wait and see' phase at the moment, but one thing I was particularly interested in is ideas on what I can do for the black background? The usual standbys like rock and scratched metal don't make too much sense.
Or, I could keep it black and add the Pulp Fiction-style page wear?
The basic idea for the front is to add Crowe on Pearce's right, put Spacey left in a spotlight, and fill in the rest of the space with Danny DeVito, maybe James Cromwell, newspaper headlines, all that great stuff.

I think the black looks fine as it is for now
Gotta wonder how it would look if the lady on the front wasn't cut off as she is?

Yup, I agree.
I really like the TT too, very noir
ish, but the "LA" part is bugging me a little, not sure why. Have you tried it in the same font as "confidential"? Or maybe move it up a bit and angle it more.
Btw, what's that typeface you used on the names called?

I think it looks fine black, the TT looks fitting so far but the "LA" might stand out a little too much. I'm interested to see another Bunny cover as well as you putting together this awesome montage!

I like everything except for the title, looks a bit too cartoonish.

So far so good Timothys!
I'm digging the layout so far, I'm a huge fan of the new retail cover, but I'm sure you'll take it out with one shot.

Thanks for the input so far, guys!

The more that I look at it, you may be right. I didn't like the arm on the image I was using, but it wouldn't be much trouble to find a new one. I'll give it a shot.
And the title's problems are unanimous, so I'll play around a bit more there.

That's from the cool Agency FB family. I've always associated it with sci-fi styling, but it kind of works here, right?

Ahh, I knew it was from the "2012" font family but I couldn't remember the name! I've been seeing around a lot lately. Looks like Bank gothic, thats why you must see it as scifi, but it works really well here.
Can't wait to see some updates on the front!

My hat's off to guys like SXS and Kernie who make montage designs seem so easy, the work on this cover seems endless. :doh:
Here's my limited progress over the last
month.

Looks great Tim! Skin tones are spot on, but I'd have to see more of the montage to form an opinion.
