I like the 2nd image better (the one with the list on the left and selected item info in the middle).

So you want a poster view and an info view? The thought behind the 2nd pic was something like "you're scrolling down the list of names, when you stop, this display comes from off screen." What I could try doing is putting the poster at the bottom-left under the list like you suggested, then have the animation to slide the poster and info from the side after a delay. I'd then add a flag to the "settings" menu that would toggle this animation.
How does that sound?
How large would you like to see the poster? About the size it is in the concept?

I like both of the screens, but I was curious as to how the first one seemed to busy, when it actually has less on the screen than the second one?
This is how it would work. You would scroll down a regular list on the left, then you could either have a button press assigned to slide the list out and bring the movie information into the screen and then press it again and the information slide off the screen and the list would return. The other option being, that the information would slide into view on hover. You would stop on a title in the list and then the animation would begin by removing the list and then bringing the movie information into view just like aeon does.
As I said I like both screens, so maybe they could both make the final skin, so everyone can have a little choice.

have you tested on a solid white background to see if your text is still readable? (i.e. it's always sunny in Philadelphia fanart)
