Photoshop Disaster in New 'Underworld' One Sheet

Holy crap this is one terrible photoshop job, in fact, this might be one of the worst I've seen since that crappy HOSTEL: PART II poster where Lionsgate's blended a naked hot chick with meat. Beyond the break you can check out Sony Screen Gems' "Lucien" one sheet for Patrick Tatopoulos' Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans, which arrives in theaters January 23rd. You can clearly see the layers and it looks horrible. What do you guys think, am I wrong?

UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS delves into the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires, known as Death Dealers, and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves). A young Lycan, Lucian (Michael Sheen), emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Bill Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has persecuted them for hundreds of years. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, the beautiful vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra), in his battle to free the Lycans from their brutal enslavement.

i don't know that the poster is THAT bad (though I'm sure the movie will be)

I agree with certifiedx. Personally I think the last poster with Rhona was a more obvious photoshop botch. This one's a step up.

Did they pay someone for doing that?

The fact that they all are horrible aside, this one is an obvious fuck up. For fuck sake all you have to do is color balance and maybe a layer mask to make the highlights pop out. And yes runbitch!, someone was paid , and it should have been me.

Printing a proof before sending this crap all over tha web would have let them see thier mistakes first before printing this crap and sending it all over the place... seriously how many people review this stuff before they sedn it out??? They need that old guy from the opening scene of Planes, Trains and Automobiles to eye this crap over...

The shadows in the background look like hand puppets or something.

why does this look like it has nothing to do with werewolves and vampires and everything to do with a medievil adventure movie? :S The person who got paid to do that is probbably laughing now haha.

Haha... if you go to the Hostel II poster you linked to, you call it "creepy and disturbing". Now that the movie's come out and you're not bowing to Lions Gate's demands, suddenly it's a shit poster. Nothing like the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.

God Bless Mr Disgusting and his links to proof he is a corporate puppet

Well, the UNDERWORLD movies suck anyways so what surprise is it that the poster sucks as well? However, I think the actual content of the poster sucks, but I really don't see how it's a BAD photoshop job. Even the HOSTEL II one looks fine to me. I'm sure Mr. Disgusting can do SUCH a better job! Layers, WHAT layers? Looks like a typical Hollywood horror movie poster to me. -RHR

I don't think it matters since most of the posters they release to media groups are never hanging in the actual theaters. I probably would never have seen this if I hadn't clicked the link...

I think the people on here can either agree or disagree with mr. disgusting. There's no need to hate on him for posting an opinion. people need to stop this hating bullshit. I think the poster's not that bad anyways.

Yeah who ever did that job didn't do it any justice if they wanted to make a poster of Lucian they should have had a better pose over then having his mouth covered up.

God's honest truth is I couldn't give a rats ass if a movie poster sux. If it's nice I might say "cool, bad-ass poster" but thats it. I'm just usually preoccupied with the actual movie to care that much about a poster. Posters never ever have affected my opinion of a movie.

i'm psyched to see this or i was psyched to see this. as these TERRIBLE posters come out for the movie i'm starting to think it's NOT going to be a good movie. which sucks because i'm a huge UW fan.

From a technical stand point its an absolute mess.. yeah its terrible haha. Like wheres the purple light on the top of his right arm coming from? and wtf is up with the sword? The pillar on the left is also flat looking.. Some depth would be nice there.. And the shadows.. yeah. Its bad.
