Yahoo Movies Pakistan’s bootleg Silence DVD art is a thing of beauty
‘Silence’ isn’t out on DVD yet… but it already has the best cover art you could possibly imagine.
Appearing on Twitter, a bootleg copy of ‘Silence’ has been spotted in Pakistan… and the DVD cover art raises so many questions. Most importantly – how the hell can the official release top this?
Also, why is Casey Affleck there?

The bootleg version of ‘Silence’ features a familiar image of Liam Neeson with his hands clasped together, along with another image of co-star Andrew Garfield as he traverses 17th century Japan in search of his lost mentor.

Presumably, the bootleggers wanted to inject a bit of action into things, and nothing says high stakes quite like surrounding your biggest stars with fire. And to add a touch of prestige why not inexplicably add photos of Casey Affleck from ‘Manchester by the Sea’ and Mahershala Ali in ‘Moonlight’.
And no, neither actor was in ‘Silence’.

This amazing bootleg DVD cover is just the latest in a long line of dodgy (and obviously hilarious) covers. But I can’t help thinking this is one of the best yet. I mean… just look at it.
It even manages to massacre the tagline: “Sometime Silence deadliest soun.”
To put it into perspective, the UK DVD art is still to be confirmed… but it should look a little more like this:
Sure, it’s not quite so ridiculous, and it only features actors who are actually in the movie.
But I know which one I prefer.
‘Silence’ stars Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, and Russell Crowe.
Martin Scorsese directed the film based on a script he co-wrote with Jay Cocks.
‘Silence’ is available on DVD and Blu-ray from 8 May 2017.
