Zack & Miri Get a (legal) Poster

leave a comment »

Kevin Smith has been hard at work on his new film about friends, being broke, and porno, starring  Seth Rogen and Elisabeth Banks. The film is pretty much completed, and was slapped around by the MPAA a little, regarding a select few scenes, and the movie’s original poster. The poster is now officially banned to be hung up in and around movie theatres across the United States, but good old Canada gladly snatched it up and accepted it.

In an awesome Kevin Smith sort of finesse, the American poster now looks like this:

Very funny. Am I wrong?

Very funny. Am I wrong?

How cool is that?! I’m glad that this is actually the official poster of the film, because its not only original, but kind of spits in the MPAAs face a little. Come on. He has to retreat all the way back to using fucking stick figures? To all the MPAA members: SEX is the reason humanity is alive.  I still wish it said something more along the lines of, “…since the nice folks at the MPAA didn’t let us…” or something more direct like that. But of course THAT wouldn’t have been allowed either, I guess.

Zack & Miri Make a Porno massages your local Cinema on October 31st, head to head (ass to ass?) with Guy Ritchie’s Rocknrolla.
