That's great! Really cool.

This cover is really cool. Only thing missing is a cool tagline...

True. But the cover art is really good, I like the novel idea with that blood splash.

Here's a quick note from the music composer, James Jandrisch:

I delivered my music about a month ago and they had the final audio mix completed shortly after that. So as far as I know the audio is done. Still unsure about VFX and color timing though- but I'm sure it must be close.
I'm pretty proud of the score and had a great time on the project- Dolph is way cool.

[Nathan]

Nice, hopefully we'll see this in the 1st few months of 2010 then.

And another update from Mack Benz at ExileVFX, the visual effects company, which confirms the picture was just completed so it's ready for delivery to the releasing companies.

We just delivered the last QC fix this week, so now it's time for the master out.

We designed a custom title sequence as well, instead of boring Black and White text fading in and out over boring B-Roll

Hopefully this shows theres a little effort going in post.

Very nice! My significant other has this theory that you can spot a good and expensive movie by it's novel way of showing the start up credits and custom fonts just designed for that occasion. We know it's not an expensive movie but at least it may be good.

[Jox]

Yeah, very good job on the DEFENDER main title sequence for instance, very slick.

Killer cover!!!! No cheesiness intended Jox... Hope the US/UK cover looks like this, but somehow I doubt it. It's very classy and definately looks "different" for a Dolph movie. Even though you have the action elements he looks suave and well dressed on the front, instead of the usual barechested/dirty clothes Dolph carrying the biggest weapon they could fit on the cover.

[Krom]

Best cover sincer Missionary Man.

It is Switzerland release,not Germany.But they speak a kind of german.I don`t like the Cover,because it is always the same.Dolph with a gun in his Hand.I hope it will release in Germany to the same Time!

[dolphage]

I like it. It's different and suits the look of the movie (from what we've seen). The only thing messing up this particular version is the big transparent "A" logo, but that's just on this picture, it doesn't seem to be on the actual cover (judging by their homepage). It's good.

I don`t like the Cover,because it is always the same.Dolph with a gun in his Hand.

Well, the cover has to tell a little bit of the story, so Dolph in a suit with a gun is probably not a bad way to go. What would you have preferred?

[Darling]

Dolphage,it´s is for me very difficult to explain in english what I prefer,because my English is that bad!
The Cover is very boring.The Colors are bad.All his Covers have the same Look.When I will go to the Video-Store,I always have a Problem to find his Movies,because they are all inconspicuous! I prefer ,a little more Color,he should change his facial expression and without a Gun!
I will hope the Movie will be great,I heard it should be a little bit like "History of Violence".That was a really great Movie,I`d loved it and Viggo Mortensen was also very good!
