Just today, Blackfish director Gabriela Cowperthwaite sent us the new poster for her movie, and we love it. However, it did stir an internal debate. Of the 5 former SW trainers / cast members that commented, 2 liked the old version, 2 liked the new version, and one liked them both about the same. So now we need your help. Here's how it shook out: John Hargrove & John Jett voted for the original poster, as best version. Carol Ray & Jeffrey Ventre voted for the new poster. Samantha Berg liked them both about the same.
JJ: I like the old one. Just my two-cents.
Carol: OMG, I LOVE this! Now I really want a t-shirt. [I] loved the other one too, don't get me wrong, but this is fantastic. And, I love the, 'Don't capture what you can't control'....awesome!
JV: Pardon my French, but Holy F-ing Shit. Amazing. Thx Gab!
JH: I like the old one too! But this one isn't bad.
Samantha: Oh wow! I love it! I get chills just looking at the poster. Powerful. I do miss the old picture, but the tag line is PERFECT.
