Yeah, that looks okay. Nice tag line and title design too.

Mmm, but does the picture really 'jump out'?

Now that was a great poster, I thought the colours and design was just right. I think a similar approach is needed for Deadlands 2 but that's just me though.

Well I am trying to use some set photos for promo posters. Here is another one.

I would definitely say that is a vast improvement.

As capn has stated, I prefer the original film's poster. This second poster is an improvement, though.

Obviously I haven't seen the film, but when I personally think of a poster for this film, I think of something to do with a cinema. Maybe something relating to a theater seeing as how it's the set of the film? Just throwing it out there.

EDIT: Oh hell. After looking at the images again, I noticed that the first is the marquee of a theater. Now I feel like a moron. Maybe it should be more pronounced? I didn't notice it was a theater at first glance, so maybe it should be more up front and in-your-face?

Let me throw another one at you guys.

i like this 3rd one quite a bit gary. it is (to me at least) more creative and much more artsy than the first two.

Third one looks a little cluttered for my liking but I see the direction that you are going in. One thing I am noticing with these posters is that they all look a little off-centre. Again, maybe that's just me though.

I liked the original idea of the theatre and the film title splattered up in lights. I think if a number of zombie silhouettes were placed outside with their hands up towards the sign. Red moon in the background...

...hehe.

I like the third one the most.

LAST ONE FOR THE NIGHT

let me correct myself - i now think this one is the best of the bunch.

i like the second one myself. and its good to see you didn't stick with the silhouette of hands reaching upwards again, by now thats been used in movies and videogames way, way too much. so its probably a good sign for the movie that your trying something different with the poster compared to other films were the reaching hand usually symbolizes unoriginality and cheapness in the last couple of years.
