watchin the the extras on my italian job and they said they where not very happy with that film poster as it confused people and didnt really represent the film very well.
Looking at that cover/poster it doesn't represent London or England or even the film.The guy in the chair who I guess is supposed to be Sir Michael Caine but he looks more like an american gangster with the obligatory tommy gun 
this was obviously done to appeal to the american market, which is a shame! And a lost opportunity to show of alot of the films iconography!

The British Quad poster seems to be the most sought after for this film. The original one (not the re-release) had a backdrop of a map of Turin, as seen in the film. It then had stills from the film attached at various locations using map pins. I quite like it, but you could probably find better stills to use now that it's a well-known classic rather than a new release. I think a reworking of the map idea could be pretty good and leave lots of opportunity for embossing.
This was the artwork on the laserdisc - be very happy with this on the steelbook.
First time I've seen that artwork, would love that as a steelbook!
The pose of the woman reminds me of the artwork, on the Casino Royale (spoof) posters.
Same here, and for me it just doesn't represent what most of us imagine when we think of this film.
I'd want something like this, just clean and simple with embossing on the Mini's:
With this as inside artwork:
i agree with the artwork. The Minis and logo on front would be perfect as its such an iconic moment and represents what the film is about. A bright red or white steel with embossed minis & logos in black would be perfect

Agreed i think it would be awful as it doesn't represent the movie at all, in fact if you took away the title and cast from that poster you wouldn't have a clue what movie it was for ?
I am useless at trying to do stuff like this, but I'd like to see something like the following. Maybe someone with better skills could produce something a bit more professional. I know it uses the amaray art, but I think it would look great with an embossed title (I think that's the most we can hope for with Paramount):

After seeing the posts on here regarding front cover, have to agree, this is pretty good. Steelbook should be gloss as well. Paramount dont let us down.
Possible back cover?? Without the text
Possible inner art? Anyone else like?

Well I just finished watching the film and I while I liked the look of the artwork in that film poster, they are right, it does not represent the film very well.
On a side note I have to say that I preferred the 2003 re-make and will skip on this Steelbook but would love to see one for the 2003 movie.
I'm guessing that the front cover artwork will feature the Italian flag in the background, and the three iconic Minis in the foreground.
Inside artwork will most likely be...
Movie spoiler!
