I voted for entry 2. It was a very close vote for me, they are both well done.

Entry 1:

The front image is powerful which I like. I think it could be even better if the designer played with the colours to dramatize the effect. I also feel there is perhaps a little too much bevel on the front. The back image works well. In fact I like how th image blends from front to back, with jovovich facing forward on the front and facing back on the rear. I also like how the UPC and Special Features have been done however the layout of the back as a whole seems too simple. Nonetheless it is a good cover but of course I can only choose 1 entry.

Entry 2:

The front is simple but effective for this movie. I also feel the TT here is better than the one for entry 1. I like the idea on the spine but feel there is perhaps too much bevel. What really wins over my vote is the layout of the back where the spacing has been used well.

Anyways I have to congratulate both of you because you have a great job with these.

I have to say I didn't expect to see such contrasting covers. 2 completely different approaches to this movie.

Good luck to RookerProductions.

Great covers guys.. both so different but equally powerful. I've voted for number 1, it's bold and captivating, great job!

damn, your cover is sweet slipmeister.... This should be a good one... I hope it isn't a reversal of last time... I just got owned from silent warrior, I can't take another... hehe... Well hope voting goes well, good luck... O yeah Again, I think you did a good job on your cover.

2 very good efforts for this and hard to choose between them.

Like the layout on the back of No.2 but prefer the front on No.1.
No.2 has some fonts I wouldn't have used but No.1 has slightly overdone TT with the crosses for me.

So after having changed my mind a couple of times finally voted for..............one of the above.;)

Hey... I voted! .... For the best one! :lol:

Both are great covers! Well done to the both of you.
I'll let my evil twin come to the site to vote for the other entry, as I can only vote for one of them...

thanks for votes so far

Yep, keep the votes coming...the more the merrier...

Voted, and its gonna lot closer call this time :D

voting is close for 2 such different covers...just goes to show peoples tastes vary

ok.............a downer, neither of these covers do it for me......maybe its because Besson is such a crap director. Personally, I would have aimed at the dramatic........kinda like cover one but, I would have lost all the bits and pieces on the back.......Cover two, is well, just another book looky-likey cover........so, I got to go with cover one.........that front image is something I would use:multi::Lurking:

There are a few Besson movies I love, especially Leon, Nikita, Angel-A and The Fifth Element, and this is one of Milla Jovovich's best performances (but then I love Milla Jovovich).

got my vote in. Great covers to both
