IMDB blocks the direct linking of images from their site on other sites, I think this previous question covers the topic.
The easiest way to get around this is to download the image and host it yourself rather than linking IMDB's copy. Alternatively you could investigate alternative movie DBs to see if they can offer what you want - the answers to this question on IMDB APIs lists a few. The Movie DB API looks like a good bet.
