According to the pre-orders Memories of Murder and The Furies will be digipaks.

The Furies looks like it will still contain the Busch book so it's not surprising.

Here is the Janus touring poster for Flowers of Shanghai, which likely means that this is the bluray cover as well:



I like the overall design and layout but I'm not a fan of the smoothening on the faces.

As I was scrolling down the large image on my screen, before I even got to your comment below it, my only thought was, "what did they do to the faces?" Gotta clean that up for the blu-ray cover. That said, I'll be buying this either way (and hopefully, god-willing, seeing it in theatre).

The hands too. I'm not sure what style they were going for

This isn’t newly commissioned key art, this is just the original poster repurposed.

A guide on how to take an original poster and quickly make it a million times worse, charitably speaking, with just a few changes.

Sheesh! Why on earth would anyone think doing this was a good idea.

The adjustments to the faces also aren’t new. They were similarly stylized on the french one sheet and the previous blu ray release.

I mean, being the first to make these adjustments and seeing them elsewhere and saying "wow, what a fabulous idea, we should do this too" are equally stupid

So ... does Photoshop have a Madame Tussaud filter?

Ha. Very good Michael

I only come up with witty remarks like that once every few years, alas...

Janus tour poster for Mirror:



I really like the poster for this, but if they change the font to the one that is used on the poster for Letterboxd, then this could look even more amazing.

I like it too and will no doubt be the bluray cover. Much better than the Stalker poster and cover

On that note I'm under the impression that the color of the sky in this shot has been the subject of some debate. Is it indeed supposed to be pink?

Lovely image, boring typeface. Hopefully they improve on it for the Blu cover.

Nah, this is font want.

It perfectly encapsulates Soviet-era Russia.

Poster for Janus’ restored director’s cut of Demonlover:

In the storied tradition of this forum, awesome, I just bit the bullet and imported the Arrow blu

The Arrow blu also has the director's cut, right? So it could still be the superior release

Arrow only has the DC on it.

I doubt Criterion will include anything but the DC (the other cut is the same, but slightly trimmed in order to get an R rating, no?)
