At first look, nothing appears out of the unusual: Jack Dawson might be seen embracing Rose DeWitt Bukater, and all of it appears suitably swoon-worthy. If somewhat bland. 

However take a re-evaluation and there are two coiffures combating for the limelight. One half of Rose’s head has a curled updo, whereas the opposite half boasts noticeably looser waves.

A photograph modifying kerfuffle betraying the truth that it was a quite naff rush job? Or the visible illustration of Rose’s duality because the shackled and uptight socialite she as soon as versus the lady liberated by real love she turns into?

Whichever method you are taking it, Twitter didn’t waste a minute in commenting on the poster mishap:

Not that that is the primary time the advertising and marketing staff ought to have been fired. 

Irrespective of how embarrassing #HairGate is, it’s nothing in comparison with these Photoshopped-to-hell-and-back poster fails:

Hate Hollywood? Nobody would blame you, particularly after they insist that an actress – on this case Keira Knightley – must be airbrushed to have greater breasts to promote the movie. Disgrace on you.

It is King Arthur another time... 

Critically, why would anybody improve the bust measurement of 17-year-old Emma Watson? 

Warner Bros. did say that this model of the poster had not been accepted and apologized. Nonetheless, don’t. Simply don’t. 

Additionally, why does Ginny not seem like Ginny within the poster on the fitting? As a result of that’s not actress Bonnie Wright – it’s just a few random youngster. Bravo.

The bizarre pose… The disappearing arm… The suggestion Nic Cage ought to be holding a gun however isn’t… And what’s with these magic bullet holes?? Kill it, kill it with hearth.

12 Years a Slave was primarily based on the 1853 slave memoir 'Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup'. So why did the Italian model of the poster have Brad Pitt (who merely cameos on the finish of the movie) entrance and middle? 

And why is his title on the poster twice?? 

Unwell-judged doesn’t start to cowl it.

Appears to be like effective, doesn’t it? An alien ship hovers over an Asian metropolis. 

However which one? 

Going by the skyline, it’s Hong Kong. Nevertheless, that tall constructing on the entrance proper would not belong in Hong Kong. It’s Shanghai's Pearl Tower, about 750 miles away.

This model of the poster induced uproar in Hong Kong and it was eliminated and corrected lower than 24 hours after being launched.
