My dumbass honestly thought we might get something like the OP pic. Even marked my calendar, woke up early to see the reveal. And we get reddit-donut instead
You know they hired scientists to make that specific 3D simulation, right?
It's actually dead on.
The one in the film is the disc being perpendicular to the lens of the camera. The light that you see as a circle is essentially the light bouncing off the back of the dead centre of the black hole.
The picture released today is of the disc parallel to the lens.

During the opening prologue of the 1950's version of War of the Worlds they showed a picture of the planet Neptune. Even though we did not have a telescope anywhere near clear enough back then to know what the planet looked like, if you look at the pictures beamed back from Voyage 2 they look a whole hell of a lot like the painting from the movie.
I always thought that was pretty cool.
