Posters on Letterboxd
posted by scarecrowbrainsSTAFFMOD on October 16, 2022 at 3:52 AM
Not sure if anyone can help - I've started using TMDB because it's used by Letterboxd for their custom posters feature. It's been pretty great so far, but I'm have one issue with one film. I have uploaded matching posters to every Star Wars film, even the Holiday Special, and all of them have worked after a few hours, appearing on my Letterboxd. However, I have tried uploading a poster to Revenge of the Sith and it still has not appeared either in this site or Letterboxd.
Can anyone explain why this one film won't work for me? It's the only one in my list that doesn't match at the moment!

Hi, I assume you are talking about making a poster appear as an option for the new LB feature where certain paying customers can select their own posters, from the available ones, to display? For most popular movies, the LB crew has selected and locked a default poster and changing that poster can be very hard.
In this case, the reason why nothing happened is likely because the two posters you added are stuck in No Language (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1895-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith/images/posters?image_language=xx). Choose which one you want to set to English and I'll delete the other one.
