Ok. This is the direction I'm taking. The synopsis text is not aligned. Wich synopsis do you like better? 1 or 2?
Note that this is a rough cut.

I would take something that's a little more inbetween the two. I found this one on IMDB:
It is tale of two teenage girls who develop an intense and dangerous friendship. Charlie is a 17-year-old girl tortured by doubt, disillusionment and solitude. When the beautiful and self-confident Sarah arrives and the two become inseparable, Charlie is thrilled to feel alive, fulfilled and invincible in their intense friendship. But as Sarah tires of Charlie and begins to look elsewhere for a new friend, their friendship takes an ominous turn.
The space for the tagline and the tagline itself, seems to be a bit big, I would make it smaller. You can use the picture on the back as you have done now, but instead of fading the bottom with black, try fading it with white. If you like experimenting with colors, you can try and match the colors on the front poster with the image on the back. Also adding a light ray between the girls on the back would be nice.
edit: Maybe something like this:

I like your idea on the back...the color matching and the white..
I also think the synopsis is more explosive. I think I'll use it just with some little adjustments.

Speed, i think I'm confortable making the changes you said but what do you mean by light ray? is there such an effect?
Or do you do it manually?

I like the changes to the back, I'm not fond of the blue-green at all it just clashes with everything else...

Yes I agree CT. I was just going for a more offical look.One of the reference covers of film movement films(i don't have a template) that i'm using is this:

Also I mentioned in the shoutbox about the lighting ray but the image speed posted has no such thing right?
I'll see how it loks. Have youtube open with a number of hits on "create beams of light" " make light rays", etcetera.
Further developments to follow

I agree with C about the green but I also think that having the large image on the back limits what you can do with the layout, if I were you I would think about trying a different image or taking a look at some other layouts of back covers to get some ideas on how you could lay it out differently.

Sauron makes a good point too, I'm personally not fond of the gradient edged images on covers, might consider clipping it down some and just use a solid black line like they used at the top of the poster on the front, this will give you more area to play with as well.

Ok, but it's a french release and it has no special features. that's the only image from the film I intend to use on the back.
Thinking about completing the back with something similar to the Queen of Hearts cover. I'll post some updates taking inconsideration all suggestions
