I don't know if it just needs more jpeg but the original looks way better than the posted edit. Although I can see how a movie star would take offense to having their face edited out, I doubt the intent was to dehumanize. It does look like a bad version of the Broadway picture.
Yeah I'm confused here. It's almost a direct edit to match the original (broadway) poster. Eyes hidden, lips red and becomes a smirk, those are the only changes.
Honestly comes across like a bit of an ego-trip by the actress.
That's exactly what it sounds like. I had to look up who the actress was and it sounds like she is upset about that. The unspoken communication she is trying to demonstrate with eye contact isn't even well executed. She doesn't look witchy at all, just like she's holding in a fart.
They moved the other actresses hand up to cover more of her face too (in an attempt to match the original poster)
Also, in the broadway poster and the fan edit of the movie poster, the position of the hand communicates “I am telling this person a secret.” In the original movie poster the position of the hand communicates “I’m hiding a zit” or maybe “I have a toothache.”
I never was very good at those "how many differences" games 🙈
Maybe there’s some nuance or context that I’m missing but this seems like a really shitty response from the actress to a fan putting out a bit of artwork for fun. This kinda feels like tearing up a child’s stick drawing of you because you think they made you look fat instead of appreciating the fact that they wanted to make a drawing of you at all.
Yeah, I agree with your conclusion exactly. I know the actress needs to be seen and known because that's a big part of her job but when playing an already beloved and established role the chance of being overshadowed by said role is high. No one is fan editing Joker 2 posters out of excitement
Yeah she says this as if the studio put this out and not just some random fan with
Sorry it was a screenshot of a screenshot I'm pretty sure. Yeah I mean, I'm not going to go and say the fan edit is a masterpiece or anything, but it's fan content. They obviously love wicked and wanted to match the original poster.
Getting upset at fan content is a weird take. On one hand you could see that they're excited for your work and just ignore it, or you could do... This.
The best part is that this is pure Steisand effect. No it would have seen the fan edit if she had just ignored it
Yeah, be happy people are doing free adverts for the movie your in and keep your (I think understandably) bruised feelings private.
