Need some help making a Fountain DVD cover

Everyone here knows the cover for The Fountain on DVD is just pure shit. If you haven't seen it, behold Exhibit A:



I've decided to attempt to make a DVD cover of my own, and I've managed to get the appropriate Photoshop template and logos that I'll need. It's something I've always wanted to try (I do some graphic art in my spare time), and I figure I can't do any worse than their version.

I just have one problem. Where can I find some high resolution files for some of the art for this (posters, promotional materials, etc.)? Finding stuff for Star Wars or Spider-Man is easy enough, but for a small film like this, I'm having absolutely no luck.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. If I can find what I need, I'll post the final version here - and depending on how it goes, I might see what I can do with some other covers. But I really want to try and make a better one for The Fountain first...

I salute you.

IMDB photo links is probably the best place to start. I'll let you know if I ever come across real high resolution images.

The only thing I can think of would be to take screengrabs from the Quicktime HD trailers. There's scripts and stuff around to take a snapshot of your screen, and then work from there, I believe. Good luck--I'm gonna want a scan when you're done!

Thanks for that! I've found a couple through there...

I just found this page with some decent hi-res shots: http://www.allmoviephoto.com/photo/2...ain_photo.html

So maybe I can get some of those to work. But if anyone knows of anything else, help is appreciated!

Not sure where the hi-res image would be, but it'd definitely make a great DVD cover:

That's the one I was really looking for, but no dice.

That said, I'm surprised at what I have found. Hopefully I can put together something nice...
