Which do you prefer if you know what I'm talking about. The new poster (or atleast what was at the today show) has richer color and more defined pictures...a little less artsy and sketchy. I can't decide, I like them both so much.

I personally like the OBC one better, but the Movie one is really nice also. The OBC one just seems so much more grittier and more real. I dunno if u know what I mean, haha.

it's in alphabetical order, from what i can make out. dawson. diggs. martin. menzel. but apparently, anthony, adam, wilson, and tracie aren't really in the movie. it's all a ploy!

Marquise, I love that wallpaper that you posted. I think I like the new movie artwork more than that for the OBC; the colors are what get me. Updated On: 8/5/05 at 05:15 AM

Yeh, I agree I like the vibrant colours. However, I don't like the picture of Collins, he looks like he is about to kill someone.
Also, it is NOT Rosario's show, the rest of the cast developed these roles alongside Jonathan.

I am sure she is an excellent addition.

I like the movie poster better, i think. although, they should've had angel doing his jump. yeah, it is weird though that they stopped the names after idina.

The new logo photos look like the "RENT Home For The Aged".

Both have amazing pictures. I just like the Mimi one better on the OBC.

I love Idina and Tracie, but I struggle to understand why the two of them are in a frame together on the advance for the poster. It looks out of place compared with the rest of the poster. Out of the three love stories in the show, Maureen's and Joanne's is (don't kill me, because I am struggling for words) not as flame powerful as that of Collins/Angel or Roger/Mimi. This is not to say that they aren't a great couple, but why those two in a frame together...why any "couple" in a frame together? It just took away from the grit in my opinion, and looked really weird. I love the poster, but I say if they were merely going to update the OBC poster, and put each in a box, they shouldn't pull out one couple to frame up. Just my opinion, but it is beautiful.

I don't care the Dawson girls name is first. That's all that matters. Her picture should be bigger too.

I really don't want to start anything here, but Dawson isn't the "STAR" of RENT. She might have a bigger part than others, but remember we havn't seen the movie yet, but it is an ENSEMBLE. In my opinion, off of the OBC, Mark would be the lead role because he is the narrartor.

I get the feeling if this turns out to be a big hit, like it should be, there is going to be a lot of things going around about how, "Dawson saved this role", "she's the 'star' that needs to get all the credit".

It's ALL ABOUT ROSARIO. Who you kidding?

Thenardier, if you really have too many of the posters, you can send a few my way.
