TBYD Poster

Dear Star Cinema and Viva Films, 

Thank you for hearing our reactions regarding the official poster of Talk Back You're Dead. It just shows how much you value the opinions of your viewers and that means a lot to me, as an avid fan of almost all Star Cinema and Viva Movies. 

I am a follower of the book Talk Back and You're Dead. As much as I wanted to appreciate the bright colors that you used to attract the eyes of the viewers, I think most of the fans are expecting that the production house would at least align the poster to the theme or design of the book. Why? The color itself is a brand recall to all the fans. It's like when you see violet, pink and white, you'll identify that it's Diary ng Panget. 

I trust the taste of Star Cinema and Viva. You know better. But I think, it's time to listen to the fans. For a gangster-themed story (current not a 90s theme, because colorful is forgivable for a 90s theme), I think black, red, or even gray are the default colors. 

The poster should give us a gist of the movie, right? The poster of TBYD didn't. It seems like VIVA and STAR CINEMA are releasing a comedy-teeny-chick-flick again. For lack of a better term, the play of color is too much. 

And because I really wanted to trust VIVA and STAR CINEMA, I actually considered that the colors black and red may seem too sensual, matured, horrific, something like that, thinking that the major target market of the film are teenagers. But I am 25 years old, and the colors used here are actually for kids. No offense. Just an opinion. Not to mention the font used here. 

Don't get me wrong Sir / Ma'am, I just wanted to say that you could have at least thought of the best colors that could go in between what you want and what the fans want. I hope you'd still find time to revise the poster. Look at the trending list and please value our expectations. 

On that note, I would like to thank Star Cinema and VIVA Films for this opportunity. I hope it's not too late to hear us out. Otherwise, the fans might get a wrong impression. 

I hope this open letter wouldn't put into waste as I spent too much time and effort just to extend our reaction on behalf of the Talk Back and You're Dead fans. 

Thank you. 

Sincerely,
