This phenomenon seems to happen so often I’m going to start keeping track of it. Movies that have stylish, attractive, even innovative posters get the blandest, most boring and same-old DVD covers. The latest offender goes from a Saul Bass-esque throwback that’s eye-catching and intriguing to a cover that looks like a straight-to-video reject from the ’80s, right down to the italicized cast names and tagline. I just don’t get why they go to the trouble of getting really nice poster art and then throw it away for the DVD.
