These may be two of the lamest pieces of poster art in a long time. Aside from the fact that Emily Blunt apparently cannot run without the help of Matt Damon (she plays a ballet dancer, which means she's probably in much better shape than he is), the entire layout looks poorly photoshopped and not the least bit serious. If this movie is somekind of jokey nod to Hitchcock's man-on-the-run thrillers, then so be it. But the trailer seems to be selling this as a serious thriller. I don't think anyone can look at these posters, especially the tall one with its 'okay, pose for the camera and pretend to run... now!' character shots, and do anything but giggle.

There's definitely an Inception vibe to these posters, too...only awful. I love how Blunt looks like she only has one leg in both posters.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even notice the 'one leg' problem. When the fact that your leading lady is missing a leg isn't the biggest problem with your poster...
