Hello everyone,

A quick follow up on my update from last week on THE BOX.

WB has just finished the poster for the film, which I’m proud to share with you here.

I think the poster captures the suspense and conflict in the film, and at the same time has a bit of a classic Hitchcockian vibe to it.

Look forward to hearing your feedback.

RK

I've been burnt out on movie posters that just have a big headshot of the lead actor / actress but the extra elements really make this cool. The red stripe leading to the shadowy figure are really intriguing.
Can't wait to see it!

Love this poster...



But I think Cameron's face is too soften, the granularity is too thin. You should contrast a bit or make some effects.




The character with the box is very interesting.

I think the marketing department can do better than that. I like the core simple hitchcockian idea behind it, but it just doesn't look right... the framing, the shot of diaz itself, the choice of color or the way the credits and the title are set are all a bit off.

It's well balanced and has beautiful simplicity-It looks like the Poster of "From Hell" with Johnny Depp. I hope the color will attract audiences. I also hope you get your story out there and people love it.
I'm so excited for you man!

Best,

Julie Kroll :)

Not a big fan of the "giant head" thing most posters do these days but yeah I agree its very Hitchcockian. Love the little man with the box at the bottom and the tag line is perfect. "You are the Experiment." Can't wait to see the film.

Dear Richard:

This is Agustin Ignacio from Madrid Spain. The art poster is awesome and Frank Langella is my favorite actor so I hope he will deliver a big, menacing role in your feature film.


I cannot wait to see it!

Regards,
Agustin

I'm excited. I've been wanting to see how someone would make this show into a movie for quite some time. It's one of those shows that stays with you. The movie should be awesome.

How did you come about the tagline "you are the experiment" and the movie title?
