Seeing a recreation of this early movie poster makes me wish that the end result of the movie's completion would have turned out to look and feel just as dark as the poster portrayed it was going to be. In the end, the movie version of "Coraline" we ended up getting is honestly not what I was personally hoping for or what a majority of Coraline fans were expecting it to be after reading the book. It just didn't look as scary as it could have been, nor did it do any justice to Dave McKean's illustrations from the original book publication. I was especially disappointed that this silhouette of the Other Mother didn't actually end up being the look she really deserves. They didn't give her the long, straight hair that moved on it's own, and they barely even tried making her hands be bone-skinny with long, overly flexible fingers with long red nails. The hands she ended up getting in her "true form" in the movie were nothing more than just what the skeleton of the animatronic puppets they used for the film happened to look like.
At this point, I really hope that a much better movie adaptation of "Coraline" will be made, whether it's animated or maybe filmed in live action with the same special effects used in "Mirror Mask."
