This movie looks pretty cool but man, that is a generic poster. And why the hell wouldn’t they put “from the director of Timecop and Outland” on it?! I don’t get these marketing guys. They should just let the fans design this kind of stuff.
I was thinking the same thing. Makes you wonder. Maybe it was at the director’s request? The poster is decent, if anything it’s a nice throwback to the Hard Target poster:

Yeah, it does resemble the HT poster a bit. Poster aside, this will certainly be better than most of JCVD’s movies over the past decade since Hyams made it. Looking forward to it.
