Yep, yep. - I prefer the back as you had it initially also. No boxes please, lol

Tip: With a layer set to "Screen" blend mode - the darker a color is, the less effect it has on what it is screened to beneath it.
Here is the PSD so you can see it :D

Also, I would suggest reducing the size of the synopsis, it’s very long and the font size is quite big, reducing both could give you more space to add stills or something else maybe?
Obviously these are all suggestions and it’s your cover so go with whatever you prefer

I will work on the saturation a little. As for the color on the front, I will play around with that (perhaps a bluish color). As for the synopsis on the back, I planned on leaving it as big as it is because I was trying to emulate the back of a Queen album. I do not plan on adding any still images to the back (in fact I was not going to do a credits block). I will post some variations on the front when I get the chance to mess around with them. Thanks for the help sauron.
