Han Looks a Little Frantic

March 28, 2008

So, Frantic is on Universal HD right now. Great flick. You know, the one where Harrison Ford’s wife is in danger. No, the other one. No, the other other one.

Anyway, looking at the imdb entry for the film, I noticed the photography of Ford on the back of the DVD package, and noted a striking similarity to a recently profiled Japanese cover on starwars.com. Check it out, it’s Hero’s Trial, from Japan, with a rather frantic looking Han on it.

    That’s brilliant! One must do what one must do to put together a good cover.

    Still like the Japanese covers better.

    I approve; the fact that they aren’t afraid to go and find reference pics and use them both impresses and amazes me.

    Good eye!
