Reverb City Movie Poster
Description
A professional prompt for creating a cinematic movie poster with high fidelity to a reference image, including custom Japanese and English typography.
Full prompt
Create a cinematic theatrical movie poster-style visual in a 1:1 square composition, with the character from the reference image as the sole protagonist. Faithfully maintain the facial features, hairstyle, hair color, eye impression, age, body type, clothing style, and overall atmosphere of the reference image, depicting them as the same person without changing their identity. Assume there is only one reference image. If the reference is a live-action photo, finish it like an official key visual for a live-action film. If the reference is an anime or illustration, preserve the original art style's characteristics while finishing it as a high-quality anime or illustrated movie poster. If the reference is a bust-up shot, do not force a full-body view; use an upper-body centered poster composition that prioritizes facial features, hairstyle, expression, and mood. If the reference is full-body, maintain the body type, silhouette, and costume balance as a full-body or three-quarter standing pose. Place the character prominently in the center or slightly to the right, creating a dramatic poster composition (full-body/three-quarter for full-body references, upper-body centered for bust-ups). Hair should sway naturally in the wind, creating movement and tension typical of a movie poster. The expression should be quiet with a strong gaze—mysterious and resolute. Enhance the costume with a sense of luxury and drama for the poster while utilizing the colors and silhouette of the reference image. Naturally reflect any small items or accessories from the reference image, but do not add them if they are absent. Prioritize the character's presence, creating a strong gaze and silhouette worthy of a movie lead. The background should be a dark, heavy near-future noir city. Include skyscrapers towering behind mist and smoke, red sparks and light particles, a wet reflective feel like after rain, and blurring city lights in the distance. The overall palette should be high-contrast, based on black, gray, and monochrome, using red as a subtle accent color. Add strong backlighting, rim light to define the character's outline, thin smoke and mist, floating particles and subtle sparks, delicate film grain, deep shadows, and a premium movie poster texture. Finish it as a grand, high-end official theatrical poster. Naturally integrate Japanese and English text elements. Arrange text in an organized layout like an actual movie poster, using legible, beautiful, and sophisticated typography. Do not include real movie names, real actors, real company logos, or real brands. Small catchphrase at the top: 'Even if the city forgets everything, she alone remembers.' Large main title at the center-bottom: 'Echo City (Zankyo Toshi).' Smaller English title just below it: 'ECHO CITY.' Sub-copy further below: 'A city built on silence. One woman living for the truth.' Make only the word 'truth' (真実) red. Include fictional movie credits in the bottom credit line: 'Director: Hanna Kuroba | Starring: Lena Noir | Screenplay: Kei Shiraishi | Production: NORTHLINE PICTURES.' Include release info at the very bottom: 'Opening Autumn 2027.' Make only the word 'Autumn' (秋) red. The overall typography should be heavy, cinematic, and premium theatrical style.
