That's because it IS a bad photoshop job. A TERRIBLE photoshop job, actually.
I get studios trying to reach to the lowest common denominator, but being this unprofessional while at it? No, I don't.

I can't decide if the studio made this just so Cronenberg wouldn't sell much units or if they didn't want to encourage talents to provide a great cover... remember when VHS or some DVD covers (back in the rise of DVD) used to have great images and no holds was actually barred? Seems like such a long time ago...
Ebert: The poster design uses the popular "giant heads" format, with Knightley most prominent in front and center, and the smaller Mortensen and Fassbender flanking her. If Jung and Freud could have seen this poster, what uneasy dreams it might have inspired.
This is released theatrically this Friday (10th Feb) in the UK. Can't wait to see it... and our cinema poster artwork is MUCH nicer, whilst still maintaining those three headshots.
I guess you mean this one
that is not very good either but not as terrible, just weak and insipid but way more acceptable, specially in the black and white version making the rounds.
At least, it tries to "enhance" and take advantage of the "floating heads" concept by "melting" the three characters and, thus, implying their mind triangle.

Nope, that's not the one. That's the US artwork, ours is different, here is the UK theatrical poster: http://www.filmdates.co.uk/films/2900-a-dangero...

What got me a bit disturbed was the fact that "Dangerous Method" seemed like the most "friendly" of the more recent Cronenberg movies to date. Nevertheless, lots to enjoy from this project.
I liked the black and white poster better, the transparency of the Keira Kinghtley character put quite a mood, but now, in color without any transparency, it looks just like a bland cover... just my opinion...
