QR codes are more popular overseas in Europe and Asia than in the US. Since they're the first ones to really do it, seems like an effective teaser idea, but fails in that no one in the US really knows what a QR code is, and that green background isn't iconic as 9's motif. Personally, I think all smartphones should have QR scanners built in, you shouldn't have to download an app just to follow a link. Think of how posters could send you to character specific websites or trailers using that. Easier call to action than a url. Is this an international poster?

I've got an app on my iPhone called BeeTagg, that essentially opens a link (in the case of 9, it goes to a trailer), by taking a photo of the code. Miss March had a QR Code too, but they were a little more cleaver about placing it on their poster. It’s called a QR Code.

No idea what this one says, but they generally link to URL’s – that kind of thing.

I would assume the text contact below is necessary... but this is all something I think I recall seeing.

Like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00FGtH5nkxM There is an app on the iPhone that will use this, so perhaps you can use this poster with it to create a cool interactive animated 3D poster in the movie theater.
