After re-reading the book and considering some comments, I decided to redo the movie poster. And I must say that I'm MUCH more pleased with the end product. I think I'll save the more stark look for the poster for Kushiel's Avatar.

One of the main things that I reconsidered was my casting. I was pretty much set on Eva Green as Phedre but reconsidered Anglina Jolie as Melisande. I started to think of putting in someone like Monica Bellucci, but I realized that for this role, you'd need someone who was more than a beautiful woman. You needed someone who could really be walking, talking, sex-incarnate. And Jolie really could BE Melisande.

Also, I reconsidered my original choice of Joscelin. I originally though of Brad Pitt, but I realized that I was thinking of early 90s Pitt and not how he is now. I think that Meyers would fill the role rather well. And I was amazed at how easy it was to find blonde hair to transfer to Meyers (I know it's supposed to be braided, but give me a break..)

I like how the background turned out. I think that the red haze is a good denotation for how the book describes what Phedre goes through whenever she is feeling pain.

Now, as soon as I finish Kushiel's Chosen (give me a break, I'm a slow reader!) I'll get to work on that. I already have a layout in mind and the PERFECT person to play Kazan.

Oh, and the casting breaks down to this:

Eva Green - Phedre no Delaunay
Angelina Jolie - Melisande Shahrizai
Ralph Fiennes - Anafiel Delaunay
John Rhys-Meyers - Joscelin Verreuil
Adrian Grenier - Hyacinthe
Jared Leto - Alcuin no Delaunay
Scarlett Johansson - Ysandre de la Courcel
Karl Urban - Drustan mab Necthana
Vladimir Kulich - Waldemar Selig

Really great Work!:)
Personally,I think that for the characters of Anfiel Delunay,Phèdre nò Delunay and Joscelin Verreuil are better Goran Visnjic,Jessica Alba and Jensen Ackles...:)

I'm not a big fan of your casting, however I do like your poster!
I see Sophia Myles when I picture Ysandre; Scarlett just doesn't do it for me. And definitely NO on Johnathon Rhys Myers. He's too . . . sharp. Joscelin is stoic. I could see him as Mavros though. I agree with whomever said Jared Leto for Joscelin. And I don't think Angie is pretty enough for Melisande. I'd go with a relatively unknown for her.

But hey, that's just me! Good job on the poster though, I really do like it. =)

Also; I like Ben Barnes as Hyacinthe. Adrian Greenier is too . . . modern. Also, another idea for D'Aiglemort is Jason Isaacs (or possibly Marimon Shahrizai). And I kinda like Rupert Grint as Lucius instead.

Eva Green works for me. She's not the most beautiful but has that strength in vulnerability when she acts that Phèdre has.

Not totally convinced by all the others but the photo shop is awesome.

Thanks for the sharing

I think that Jonathan Rhys Myers would actually work better as Isidore d'Aiglemort. He has that sharp beauty that I always associate with Camaelines. Thoughts?

Or as Mavros. He does have the bright blue eyes that could be Shahrizai. But yeah, I totally agree and see him not as a Joscelin.

That was my first impression when I saw him on the poster as well - nice to know someone else sees the same pictures I do.
