That's definitely Barad-Dur, since the Eye is there. But the tower in the foreground of the poster is definetely Orthanc. They are similar because Saruman was trying to do it up fine like Barad-Dur.

But Saruman had slowly shaped it to his shifting purposes, and made it better, as he thought, being deceived- for all those arts and subtle devices, for which he forsook his former wisdom, and which fondly he imagined were his own, came but from Mordor; so that what he made was naught, only a little copy, a child's model or a slave's flattery, of that vast fortress, armoury, prison, furnace of power, Barad-Dur, the Dark Tower. . ."

So they are supposed to look alike! - OK... It's gonna be confusing for the newbies, if we are this confused...

One of my friends confused Sauron and Saruman, because they sound so alike... Thought Gandalf had just told Frodo that this S person was evil, the maker of this evil ring, then he goes on a trip to just to talk to him! - Very confused!
