Here, via the CBGB Movie Facebook page, is the official poster... The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively been posting the new, uh, posters for the past week. There are an additional four posters featuring the characters who portray Joey Ramone, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith and Stiv Bators.
You can find all those via THR here, including this one of actress Malin Akerman as Debbie Harry...
John Holmstrom, founding editor of PUNK magazine, designed the posters.
This one was just a teaser of sorts.

So Deborah Harry isn't wishing she invented sex anymore? Alas.
Does not having a firm release date indicate problems?
CBGB the Movie, aka Harold & Kumar Go to CBGB Dying Hard to see Hans Gruber during Twilight.
The Velvets never played at CBGB. Just sayin'.
Does that poster objectify and dehumanize women or is it just me? we see a part of her body which is used as a scroll for the text...so tired of this regressive shit constant onslaught of degradation served up as art
Yes grump, its just you...
Honestly, there's plenty to be upset about with this movie, but the dehumnization of women isn't part of it. If it makes you feel better, the same design is used with a male (approximating Joey Ramone):

So - music from Joey Ramone but not THE Ramones? Excuse me, but - whaaaa?
..am I correct in that the surviving Ramones did not want this crappy movie to use their work..but the Joey Ramone estate allowed the use of his name?
Hell the ramones didn't like playing CBGB as I remember...they thought they were to big for that. Years later, they hadn't made so they started accepting gigs happily.
That image is absolutely dehumanizing to women, and it's especially offensive to Ms. Harry. NYgrump is correct, as usual.
@Anon203 - Ms. Harry who made her career out of presenting herself (with tongue in cheek) as a sex object is being objectified?
I am shocked.
