This film has two variations of the poster which was released in 2001 and 1989. Both posters have different visuals. The difference lies in Kaneda's character which is shown differently from the angle of shooting, which in the 2001 poster Kaneda is shown from behind, while in the 1989 version it is shown from the front.
