I love it! Overall a pretty dark and erie picture if you ask me. They included Steve Buscemi in the picture which is cool. Also I think it's pretty cool how they included the dead bodies of Ralphie, Pussy, Jackie and Gloria in the mud. Notice how everyone is dressed in black. Also notice the distance between Tony and Carmella compared to everyone else. Very well put together.

Thanks Johnny Lips! Very eerie indeed. I wouldn't have recognized the bodies right away, if you hadn't said who they were. I assume the other bodies represent others that have been murdered? The black really gives it a dark creepy feel doesn't it. I wonder if that's gonna be the cover of the Season 5 DVD when it comes out.

Let us know if you here any more tidbits. Just Lou, Capo and I seem to pop in here from time to time during off season to see if there is any news.

Thats a spooky picture. I noticed that it looks like Ralph's head is still connected to his body.

is that johnny sack, or paulie next to silvio?

That is Paulie. Now that I look at it again, I don't know who the dead guy on the right is. I thought it was Jackie Jr. but I really can't tell if it is or not. My guess it would be Jackie Sr, Jackie Jr, or Richie.

That looks great, Janice is there, but Bobby isn't.... No New Yorkers either. Buscemi looks great--those tattoos make him look like a right thug! Are they real?

I love the somber feel--compared to the bright harbour of the season three poster!

I can't wait! Alas, I will not be able to post in this forum once season five kicks off for fear of spoilers.

Damn that picture is dark!!! Definitley not like anything The Sopranos art-directors have done before.
I must say, after seeing that i'm alot more dubious about season 5, i'm looking foward to it don't get me wrong, but i have a feeling both of Tony's famillies are gonna take a turn for the worse. Should be interesting though.

So do I, but that's what would make it even more compelling to watch IMO. Season four was definitely the fall of the Soprano Empire, and Season Five will top it all off.

Mick

Quite possible Capo!! Consider this as well: With the problems Tony & Carm are having, Tony most likely won't be "up to par" in his business dealings, causing friction among his crew perhaps.

TIS, I can't wait to see how Tony will run the Family with problems at home. Where we left him, he was relying on Chrissy to run things....

Mick

That is by far the best Sopranos poster I've seen. It's so dark, but it definitely draws you in with the bodies from the past. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so maybe there is some kind of hidden message in the poster that will give us a big hint for the fifth season. I believe it's going to be one hell of a season. Lots of surprises. Can't wait!

I think this picture is amazing. Maybe I'm looking at this picture too hard but the first thing that struck me was that it was like those old Renaissance paintings. The ones with people on a boat floating on Hades, with dead bodies under them. Then to later studying, I see multiple possible signs of symbolism. Notice how Paulie and Sil are so far away from the boat; and it seems they are up to their shins in the mud. Also, I noticed the sky. How it is setting on Tony's side with the ducks, and how it is totally clowdy and dark on Paulie's side. I may be thinking too hard but I know how David Chase likes to use symbolism and I think this picture has alot of it.

Also to anyone who may know who are all the people in the mud? I can pick out a few.
From left to right: Ralphie, Traci??, Pussy, some blonde woman, gloria, richie, and some bald man. Who might the blonde and the bald man be?
