That look is practically becoming its own genre ... same thing with the t.v. show "The Cape", and some other things that have used it. But this poster is almost laughably lifted from Thief.
Well, they know a cool look when they see it. :cool:
BTW, I always was a fan of the idea of a cyberpunk spin on Thief set in the Blade world kind of City... So naturally I love the vibe and look they have in that poster. I'd just rather see it in a full-on game than another CGI-pron movie. I mean, the movie might be entertaining and fun to watch, but it's not the same.

Just like the TDS cover art, he's left handed too.

In spite of that poster art being miserably awful, I would have never made the connection.

A thief with a dark cloak perched on a rooftop like a bird of prey is a romantic image, so it's just as likely the poster was inspired by Thief as any other similar picture.
It is odd, though, that the knife seems to be badly shopped in and there are odd flecks of mud flying around...
