I don't normally post posters but I had to share this one released today. This was approved!? It's terrible!

From the director known for his terrible movies and written by the guy who refuses to write a book…

Bonus: starring the director's wife.

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

Yup, I saw Milla Jovovich, immediately suspected the director was her husband, and yep

Why are people saying this poster’s okay? It’s so corny.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

I like how weird Dave's head looks in that hat.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That looks atrocious. I need to see it now.

Edit: "and George RR Martin" waitwhat i am so confused

Edit2: "Based on a short story by George R. R. Martin" oh i see.

I clicked the thumbnail before the post and thought the exact same thing .. it's trash and whoever made it is terrible at their job..whoever approved it is even worse. I bet it's all ai

This is bad in a way AI isn't typically - look at Dave's foot, floating above the skulls. Reeks of some intern just dragging in a greenscreen shot of the actors over an existing picture of a mound of skulls. Maybe the mound of skulls is AI generated but I don't see any obvious signs of AI slop. Good old human slop here.

Slop lovers ready to feast. 😋

Bautista elevates everything, take it back.

Good to know George is keeping busy doing literally ANYTHING except work on ASOIF

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

To be fair, I’m guessing this only took him 4-5 minutes.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Ouch that’s terrible! Why does he look like a thumb with a beard?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I thought Dave had beefy weightlifter legs, but this makes them look like chicken legs.

[–] GCanuck@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like it. Can’t wait to see it.

Not sure why the OP and (at least) one comment at time of writing didn’t like it, but it’s not that bad.

[–] UKFilmNerd 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I shouldn't be able to pick out the individual photoshop layers! 😄 The design isn't bad, it's just put together poorly. They clearly stand out from the background, the lighting doesn't match.

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I didn't look at the post title or the description at first and I thought someone had made a post with a poorly shopped in photo of someone's face replacing the original.

The whole poster just looks wrong.

So flat, like someone took some stickers and placed them on top of each other on a background.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean just look at his left foot (our right). It's literally not stepping on anything!

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The head, body and legs all look like they are from different photos and people.

The legs look like they belong to someone completely different, and then the head has replaced whoever was originally there.

I bet they never posed for this, just took random photos of them going about their day and slapped it together.

When did I pose for this?

You didn't.

Looks fine to me.
