"88 Minutes" vs. "Bourne Supremacy" - Box art wars!

Do you think the designers responsible for the cover art for the DVD release of Al Pacino's movie 88 Minutes happened upon a DVD copy of The Bourne Supremacy while brainstorming?



They didn't seem to even try to tweak the formula. Maybe they'll assume Pacino is Matt Damon or that 88 Minutes is supposed to be good (full disclosure, I haven't seen this movie, but it was shelved from release for nearly 3 years, which is never a sign of quality). This is just a sad example of lazy artists. Why'd Drew Struzan have to retire?

UPDATE: Here are a few comparisons of the posters, via my bad Photoshop skills.

A couple of professional headshots, a gun, and maybe some stray droplets of blood near the title and voila: movie art. That being said, I think it would be pretty funny if Drew Struzan had been hired to airbrush a poster up for either of these two movies.
