And since people have said it but haven't posted it, take a look at it.

So, going back to The Trust poster...anyone just happen to notice that Elijah Wood has two thumbs on his hand? Because Cracked sure did.

And here's that same shot in the movie.

Also, wait, Saban was responsible for this movie being made? Well, they just brought out these for the upcoming Power Rangers movie...

That Bourne poster is inexcusable. It's so cocky about the idea that Jason Bourne is iconic enough that they can just show you Matt Damon's serious face in black and white and everyone will know exactly wtf is about to go down.

But then it completely undercuts that by writing 'Jason Bourne' underneath him like a name badge on a greeter at WalMart.

His name should at least be upsidedown like the answers for a crossword puzzle.

Yeah there are a lot of lazy or just silly looking posters out there...

But the one in the OP is just nonsense. What are they even going for there? I am afraid this shit might give me nightmares its so bad.

That's hilarious and timely. In 1989 seatbelts were a hot topic too, considering 1984-1994 was the basic timeline in which mandatory seat belt laws went into effect in most states, and there was a lot of talk surrounding them.
Actually, a documentary about seatbelt laws would have been better than Star Trek V though... fuck that movie.

Maybe it's just the bad photoshop all around, but the going in style poster almost makes it look like their heads are plastered on doubles. Like they couldn't get the three in a room to take a picture for the photo.

I agree about the part of putting Jason Bourne underneath, it seems redundant.

Also found it strange they would go with that line, "You Know My Name" considering it was the theme song for Casino Royale that rebooted the Bond franchise into a grittier one.

Honestly, I can’t imagine the people responsible for this wonderful collision of bears, the other kind of bears and implied anal sex could have not known how this would be read, or at least that whoever had final say — perhaps someone’s virginal, Mormon aunt, who does not watch movies but for some reason works in a place that makes advertisements for them — simply didn’t get the joke and everyone else just snickered along until the thing hit the presses. But come on — the grins, the convenient positioning of Yogi right behind Boo-Boo’s boo boo, the slogan “Great things come in bears,” (which is exactly what Yogi would be doing if he repeats this action with other ursine companions). Even the “Coming soon” at the bottom is suspect. And when I say “suspect,” I mean “guilty.” And when I say “coming,” I of course mean “filling with bear semen.”

Why is the light shining on the left of Morgan's face but on the right of his shirt. Also I bet those are not his real hands.

Are these real? Was the marketing/ad guy too drunk to make a poster and was on a deadline so he had his 7 year old kid make one in photoshop real quick?

Those looked better in person, at full poster size they didn't look like face genitals, they just conveyed the idea that they're supposed to.

Would have been serviceable without the faces.

I think that's actually what happened. They were designed as silhouettes. Simple, stylish. They may have even been issued that way at first. And then last minute someone decided they needed to have the actors' faces included as a draw. Et voilà.

If they made the faces black and white and larger to take up the whole silhouette it would have been passable, maybe even good.

Are there people that act as faceless models fo these posters, r heads will be photoshopped over with a movie star? Or are they shot with the actors and then the face changed?

I hate that this is a trend. Nothing looks like the people are actually there, or are looking at each other.

It's probably difficult/expensive to get the actors in for just a poster shoot, if I had to guess.
