I like that idea, all black with that opening shot from SOL.

i dont like how they singled them out. I understand why, but I don't like the DVD cover. I think its too colorful and rainbowy.. I don't think its fitting for RENT, I don't like the colors. And I also don't like how they put the characters together because Mark and Roger dont have the same type of relationship and Tracie and Idina-- haha i mean joanne and maureen, roger and mimi, and collins and angel. So it's kinda weird..I think they could have done a lot better. I thought it should have just been RENT like on the bible, or the poster, or 8 different covers would have been cool like the soundtrack.. i like the idea of the pic from seasons of love. I think they could have picked a powerful scene like that.. I don't like how it almost makes the film look like a happy comedy.

Though I'm almost ashamed now, thanks to all of the bashing in another thread, I actually like it. While I would have liked to see something like the RENT bible, the colors are somehow familiar, and I guess it's almost comforting, in a way. I just keep looking at it.
By the way, (because I'm horribly lazy) is the SVU episode with Anthony new, or is it the one that was on a few months ago. "Bound," perhaps?

Aw, darn. Thank you though. I might try to catch it anyway.

Something like this: It'd be better quality, where you could see their faces and the lights. It's all black because I had it the same color. No day but today would be the correct font. I couldn't find a shot of the straight line. I think there's too much space on the left. And, it's not proportioned right to the size of a DVD case, but you get the idea.

It does look like a comedy kind of but if you look at it no ones smiling so it doesn't look all that happy but the colors do seem a bit to happy

Okay, about the artwork:
It looks way too fake to me. I like Rogue's idea, or even just the movie poster. And I don't think anyone should be on the spine in particular, because it's an ensemble thing, but I can understand that they wanted the more well-known actor and actress to be seen.

My opinion: I like Rogue's idea, especially, although in a straight line, so it's equal (okay, I'll admit- I just want a better view of Anthony Rapp). Also, I don't like how everybody's all sectioned off. Even if Benny and Mark were a couple (god forbid), I don't like it when they pair everybody off on dvd covers/posters, etc. It's just annoying. Also, the chosen pictures of the cast aren't the best.
And yeah, nobody should be on the side.

rogue: I totally had that Wishbone stuffed animal. It came with outfits that you could dress it in, and it had bendy paws and... oh man it rocked. I also LOVE your DVD cover.
Guitargeek: I totally agree. The colors just don't fit the movie. That said, they are nice colors. I just don't think they work. And it annoys me that they have Benny and Mimi on the spine. Benny is the yuppie scum! He shouldn't be on the spine!

::takes deep breathe::
So, I just read about 80 pages. God, I am a loser. I like Rouge's version of the DVD cover better. The DVD is coming out on Feb 21st correct?? I GOT A MARK SCARF!! I start school back tomorrow. Pretty sure that the myspace with RENT playing on it and the 'everything Anthony Rapp' site (or whatever it's called) are the coolest things I have seen yet. I think that's it for now. Did I miss anything big? I'm gonna try and keep up now. lol. Much love!!

...and also, i have a question about the Rent book, or the ever so popular "Bible"
is it something you can buy at borders or barnes & nobles, or do you have to order it online

WanderingChild, it took about 3 1/2 weeks for the scarf. I found it a long time ago.

You can buy it Borders. Not sure about Barnes and Noble though. Probably, since it's a larger chain than Borders.

Hey, does anyone know where I can find drums tabs for the songs in Rent? I've found piano, guitar, and vocal selections... It seems drum tabs are less popular...

I think the cover was the perfect choice. They want to sell DVDs and that cover will definitely make people stop and look twice. A plain black cover would just get lost in the sea of monotonous DVD covers. This will stand out.

I can definetly see their thoughts while designing it.
Bright. Bold. BAM!
For the general people, it's a good cover to be able to see and take an interest in. They'd walk by, see it, and ask: "What's that?"
The black cover is when fans like me get their say. While it's not the best way to market it, it's just how some of us would have liked it. I mean, we could just print out our own and that would sufice. I would rather have the colored cover to sent Rent out in the world better. I agree that the black cover is not as exciting. The only real thing that pops out is "RENT". But, we can still have our ideas. It'd be a nice alternate for fan to have to put on as the cover if they wanted.
Edit: Just to remind everyone who isn't watching, it's Anthony's Law and Order: SVU episode on USA now. He hasn't been on yet.
