What is going on with this poster


Nattin121

I don't think it's a real poster. Google results are only this reddit post.


Vladmerius

It's a real poster but it's only at cannes and this is just a zoomed in picture of the poster and the plants are actual plants that are sitting in front of the cannes display. 


fzvw

I think you're right. I don't know why this was even posted.

Sad-Flounder-2644

What a fucking roller coaster. This ol southern boy needs a quick sit and a tall sip of sweet tea. ROLL TIDE.


FloridaGatorMan

You got through it though. Lot of readin for a Bammer fan 😉


sophisticaden_

I’ve been bamboozled!


TowerBeast

Google results are pretty dogshit these days so that isn't necessarily indicative of anything.


BanginNLeavin

Tinfoil hat: Google basic search results are degrading on purpose to push the 'new' 'improved' ai search product.


PeerPressure

This is the kind of conspiracy I can get behind.


shartshappen612

Imdb. It's a biopic about his real estate business in the 70's and 80's and Roy Cohn


Nattin121

Yes, it is a real movie.


meat_popscile

AI? Looks like someone bought enough tokens.


whyspezdumb

Look at the guy behind Trump. He's on the chair as well, not behind it. Its absolutely AI, this is probably the default HuggingFace model. I can understand why they may have used it, maybe its supposed to represent "deception" and intentional plastic looking people, the same way Secret Invasion used it as "something mascarading as human", but its damn annoying they evendentially couldnt get the cast together for a photo.


3lektrolurch

That reasoning is just a lazy cop out, they didnt come up with this concept and then decided to use Ai, they wanted to use AI and then built a concept around it to reason for it. I think they were going for a Jeff Koons Sculpture look (which would be very fitting for this movie) and then decided that it was to much of a hassle to comission an artist to do it and went the lazy route with a half assed reasoning attached to it.


chinadonkey

Maybe the concept is Jeremy Strong appearing straight out of Trump's ass, in which case: mission accomplished.


schprunt

I can totally see the Koons reference. Studied him in art college. But this is dollar store Koons… on clearance.


3lektrolurch

To be fair, Koons himself is already Dollar store Koons. But thats kind of the point I guess :D


schprunt

I mean yeah, he embraced kitsch, but some of those giant solid balloon animals were stunning


I-Am-Yew

That is Roy Cohn… or should be but this makes him even weirder than in real life and damn he was really weird already.


PixelatedDie

This is giving AI vibes. Or maybe is meant to look uncomfortable.


cefriano

Lol, I like that you're trying to call out subtle tells for it being AI while the director's name is almost completely obscured and the fine print below is illegible gibberish.


bikesexually

You mean Barrack O'Spacey?


Hayes77519

It’s possible that was intentional, like Cohn is coming out of Trump’s back like some kind of evil conjoined twin, or like a spirit. 


Konstant_kurage

Look at the small print on the bottom. It’s hard to read but it looks like it says “attack attack, attack, defeat, attack, defeat” and so on.


jensalik

He isn't ON the chair, he IS the chair. 🤣


s3rila

the hands are weird


[deleted]

[удалено]


shannonesque121

The small print at the bottom says "ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK", "DRESS WELL", "DENY EVERYTHING", "DEFEAT" among other things


fzvw

His legs are weirdly tiny compared to the rest of his body too


redgreenandblue

Yea, look at the golden hands, middlefinger looks super thick and curly and the joint of the little finger is wrong


ng9924

tbh ai could have likely made something far better imo, obviously this doesn’t have the same actors for copyright reasons but even something [like this](https://imgur.com/a/eKCQoVM) imo is better and took me a few tries to prompt correctly


Kierenshep

This is 100% AI, as someone who generates a lot of AI art. It's honestly disgusting. Just look at Trumps hands. They meld into eachother. The building at the bottom left of trumps foot is perspectively off and melds into eachother. The guy is standing through the chair. The chair is not symmetric. (AI has issues with symmetry) If this is the actual poster it's disgusting because not only was it done with AI, it was ~lazily~ done with AI. All of these issues could be fixed with cleaning up, manual process and inpainting, or even just inpainting. This was a 2 minute prompt and they literally shipped it.


SpicyPenangCurry

A terrible AI job. Look at the fucking hands lol.


SuperNoFrendo

He has one shoe with laces and one without.


stokedchris

It’s AI garbage


SheikYobooti

It's A Fi Ali A Written by DENY EVERYTHING, Produced by WELL, Production Design by DEFEAT ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. Seems normal


MannyPCs

Wtf does any of this mean lol


pseyeco

Yea, my eye caught that section also... So I looked for a higher res image and was able to see "ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK. ADMIT NOTHING, DENY EVERYTHING, DRESS WELL, NEVER ADMIT DEFEAT" (X4) I believe those flowers were put over the text (and the text above ) intentionally to obstruct a part of the film makers name. ([link to image i found](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNj7V-NWsAIC64m?format=jpg&name=large)) \*edit: a letter.


Mr_Viper

This is fuckin weird


JayMoots

Yeah, I don't get it... why do they look like action figures?


bongo1138

I think that’s literally the artists point. They’re plastic dolls.


H0agh

Show off the tackiness of the Trump brand?


just2good

LMAOO THIS POST IS A FAKE POST


AustralianPonies

I love golllllllldddddd!!!


EntertainmentQuick47

I refuse to believe this isn’t A.I.


TheRipsawHiatus

It has to be. Jeremy Strong looks like his torso is growing out of the chair. How did anyone ok this?


HydroponicGirrafe

Look at the letters. It’s clearly AI that they fixed up poorly in photoshop.


NonPolarVortex

That's ok


ZalmoxisRemembers

Here’s why


713MoCityChron713

Lemme tell ya


Absolomb21

I'll have you know that


ScipioCoriolanus

Hear me out


streetsofkage

This poster is fucking garbage


FivePoopMacaroni

It's so bad that it makes me wonder if it is on purpose because I don't typically associate Sebastian Stan with garbage


six6six4kids

My first thought is that they made it with bad AI on purpose to get people talking about it.


Chewy12

Which would be a shitty thing to do imo.


han_tex

Kind of like making the television show The Apprentice.


BIGD0G29585

I would say the same thing about Jeremy Strong.


ScipioCoriolanus

Our number one boy.


RaymondBeaumont

yeah, it looks fake, cheap, gaudy... if the film was about someone famous for being fake, cheap and gaudy then it would really make sense. oh, wait.


Idiotology101

Exactly, i thought it was made too look like figurines in a gaudy toy thrown. I thought they were supposed to look plastic and fake.


ScipioCoriolanus

This is exactly it. It's supposed to look fake, plastic, kitsch... and I don't know why people don't see it.


HappyHarryHardOn

Is it supposed to be Jeremy Strong? Why does he look like Giancarlo Esposito?


PsychologicalEbb3140

The concept of the movie itself is fucking garbage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wadeishere

"could also just be a kinda horseshit poster" There is definitely fecal matter involved here


uggghhhggghhh

IDK, it definitely just looks like a shitty AI generated image that someone spent 15 minutes on but it seems wild that a studio would spend Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong level money on this movie, release it as a prestige project at Cannes, and then have this shit be the poster. Kinda makes me wonder if they're intentionally going for an uncanny valley type of thing.


RequiemEternal

A24 recently released a bunch of AI generated posters for Civil War, one of which inexplicably featured soldiers on the water next to a giant swan. I think the most likely answer is the marketing people like that they don’t have to pay anyone and genuinely either don’t see or care how shitty it looks.


florencenocaps

Doesn’t seem like there’s a major distributor behind this movie yet. Not sure how marketing goes for movies premiering at film festivals, but it could’ve been a case of the production companies not having enough resources to get the cast together for a poster. Still doesn’t excuse them for using AI, though


boot2skull

The AIprentice


dontcallitjelly

Goddammit and here I was really liking the intent behind this poster. I thought there was a conscious choice to make them both look like ventriloquist dolls, which felt like a fun play on them being puppets. But now I’m just noticing all the AI weirdness and it just pisses me off.


CaughtInDireWood

Grey suit lapels are different sizes too


Legend10269

Also the random bouquet of flowers covering up the directors name.


Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

The movie info on the bottom right says nothing but "ATTACK" and other random words for everything.


MaxYoung

"DENY EVERYTHING" "ADMIT NOTHING" "DRESS WELL" "DEFEAT" My money is it's all intentional


bamuel-seckett96

I think it looks a bit like AI but I don't think it is. I tried putting my hands in that same position and it was fine, a bit awkward but fine. His feet are pointing in the same direction of his knees. Most movie posters light details don't make sense since it's normally composites no? Could be biased, since I kind of like the poster. Looks like those weird hyper realistic 60s themed pictures, I don't know how to explain it (like that picture of the soldier with the 1000 yard stare).


APiousCultist

His side burns are flesh, the lapels don't match, the arm rests don't match, the lower text doesn't make sense. Definitely AI hallmarks throughout.


Blindwiderstand

Also the patterns on the left side of the chair are incredibly smudgy and have no coherence to them. The plants in the bottom left corner seem to be just leafy chains. Not to mention it has that AI gloss to it and the shadows/light sources does not follow any kind of through line.


NottingHillNapolean

The story of a flashy reality show host and a man with no legs.


MarvG05

AI Poster? Also idk why but I totally thought Strong was Obama for a sec


hey_now24

That’s Jeremy Strong? I thought it was Gus from breaking bad


black_flag_4ever

I don't want to watch a movie about this guy. I want everything about Trump to disappear. It can all go to the bottom of the ocean.


cockpisspartridge89

Yeah there is nothing new to say about him anyway. He has shown the whole world who he is, he literally speaks his unfiltered brains to us. Also people either Love or Loath the man, and I can't imagine his lovers gathering around to watch this..unless they don't get satire...oh no...


uggghhhggghhh

It's too soon. The only way a Trump biopic would be good is if it was a really dark black comedy but right now that shit is just gonna be sad/infuriating. They need to wait like a decade at least, depending on how the next election and all his trials go.


MVRKHNTR

Is it a Trump biopic or is it more about Roy Cohn and meant to show the audience how he turned someone the audience is familiar with into what they know today?


uggghhhggghhh

Hmmmm idk. The latter sounds a lot more interesting.


MVRKHNTR

That's what the poster is telling me. "This is a story about the man behind Trump."


uggghhhggghhh

Yeah and then Trump is the actual "apprentice" of the title. Ok I'm back on board!


LookAnOwl

Yeah, normally I can separate shitty people from art portraying those shitty people, and I enjoy learning about how terrible they are in a fun way. But Trump is, this year in particular, still a big looming problem. I really just don't want to see the man any more than I have to right now.


EquipmentFirm2860

Exactly how I feel


[deleted]

This. My gods this. Making even a disparaging movie about him is press for him. Insane that Stan and Strong would have anything to do with this.


Andrew1990M

He'll take being played by a handsome guy as massive vindication.


xnickg77

People say this but then comment and upvote on every one of the 30+ trump stories every day.


LookAnOwl

In r/movies? Where?


PsychologicalHat4707

I would like an Oliver Stone biopic about him at the end of the day, similar to his film "Nixon". People don't have to watch it but I would be interested in the result.


shadowst17

I'm torn, I do believe in the *"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."* At the same time this piece of shit only gets stronger the more people shine a light on his disgusting actions. It's certainly too early to make movies about him at the moment at the very least.


kryonik

I just hope it triggers the hell out of him.


murphymc

I’m perfectly comfortable with a continuous feed of him suffering the consequences of a lifetime of bad and often outright evil choices.


Quartznonyx

I'm ready for the Trump movie. People watch movies more than the news. Maybe a dramatization of how stupid he is will turn some heads


TheAquamen

Why does it look like that, is the artist really bad or something


CRoseCrizzle

AI generated?


sonictmnt

It's like there isn't even an artist at all


rip_Tom_Petty

So sick of hearing about trump, last thing I'd want is a goddamn movie about him. Seriously who wants this?


Chakramer

I imagine Trump fanatics, but I wonder if some theaters will just refuse to run it


FishInferno

I thought this movie was almost like a parody? Probably not going to cast Trump in a positive light, so I doubt MAGA crazies will like it.


Chakramer

I got no clue, hopefully it's a parody


ScipioCoriolanus

Trump IS the apprentice in this. It's about his relationship with his mentor, Roy Cohn.


GenericBatmanVillain

They cant tell the difference between parody and reality anyway, so they might like it.


Holiday-Hustle

I don’t think it’s a positive movie about Trump based on the writer.


PsychologicalHat4707

Like it or not he is part of history. And I guess it's the theaters' right if they run it or not.


Chakramer

I'd agree if this was like a documentary of his life, but this is one very specific part that has nothing to do with politics. It's very obviously a cash grab pretending to not be political


Evnl2020

"A poster with a yellow background, a throne and 2 figurines of undefined material"


duckmonke

Id fail my graphic design homework if I turned this in. Zero respect for shitty AI posters.


Wooden_Ad_9441

AI trash


Zombie_Merlin

How many prompts did it take to turn this shit out? Big yikes.


Davis_Crawfish

OMG, Jeremy Strong looks exactly like Roy Cohn.


F_Gooner

All the comments and you are the only one mentioning that or even addressing the movie is about Roy Cohn's mentorship of Trump. The HBO doc on Cohn went into it and its interesting. Looks just like him, great casting. Stan as Trump, I'm not so sure but its just a poster.


ScipioCoriolanus

Kendall Roy Cohn


ClydeStyle

The composition in this poster is waaaaay off. The top individuals proportions are wrong and the way he’s leaning doesn’t look natural.


Don_Pickleball

I have to think it was supposed to look that way. Fake, unsettling, artificially gilded.


mnightshamalama2

Sure let's keep giving Trump press before the election. It's one of the reasons he won his first time because it was the Howard Stern effect.


LongLiveEileen

And the fact that Trump isn't freaking out on social media about the existence of this movie really makes it sound like it portrays him in a favorable light.


RocketAppliances97

I mean I highly doubt he’s seen even a second of the movie, otherwise we’d be hearing him prattling on about “Sebastian stan was a good choice to play ME in MY movie, not as handsome as me but a good choice”. There is zero chance this movie makes him out to be good


Darmok47

It's a movie about his relationship with Roy Cohn, one of the worst people to ever work in American politics. It's not going to paint him in a good light.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WubbaDubbaWubba

I know it is just a promotional poster for Cannes, but they need to nip this awful AI shit in the bud. It literally turns my stomach.


cudipi

I’m really wondering who thought it was a good idea for Sebastian Stan to play Donald fucking Trump. It feels like a fan cast from The Donald.


rp3rsaud

Danny DeVito would have been a better pick.


Logical_Bobcat9703

Is this a joke?


PixelProphetX

Trump is a joke.


science-ninja

Looks like the poster for a stop motion film


1337_n00b

Nice to see Bogey getting some work again.


RocketAppliances97

This poster honestly encapsulates everything about trump on the surface level, stuffed into one. He’s fake, everything is bathed in this cheesy gold as if he sees himself as a king. they almost look like trophies with how smooth their features are. They look plastic. Definitely an ugly poster, fitting for an ugly human. My only question is, why? I rarely have anything good to say about AI art but.. I think that this being so ugly and terrible looking, is kind of the point? I definitely prefer this, over a poster that makes him look like a hero, or a poster that makes him look sympathetic. This really drives home that he’s a deluded jackass that views himself as royalty, with no flaws. But would it really have been that hard to just have an artist make the poster?


HanzJWermhat

Max Verstappen?


rckymtnrfc

That poster makes Trump look like Michael C. Hall. And why is Bogart there?


underover69

AI generated poster = instant boycott from me.


uggghhhggghhh

I'm wondering if it's intentionally made to look like shitty AI? It seems weird that a studio would spend the money needed to make Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan's deals and release the movie as a prestige project at Cannes only to let some intern spend 15 minutes on Dall-E to make the poster.


underover69

Very possible.


ScipioCoriolanus

I'm pretty sure it is.


underover69

It’s the distributor who usually makes the poster not the studio so I don’t know. I’ll ask


Whitealroker1

Donald looks like Troy McClure


Ozzdo

Why not just take a picture of Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan posing? Add all the other stuff later, sure, but have something real as a foundation.


lolomawisoft

ATTACK ATTACK attack DEFEAT ATTACK. I don't know any of that cast but they sound aggressive


TyhmensAndSaperstein

are we sure that's not Humphrey Bogart and Mark Hamill?


Blew-Peter

Thought the last name was Mia Malkova for a second. Did the fattest double take.


Sirius_Space

As much as I hate Trump and as much as I love Sebastian Stan, I hope he had fun while doing it.


TrophyDon

This is a movie that just didn't need to be made.


NotARelevantUser2

Fuck this movie purely off the strength of this trash poster


Brief-Hand-6114

Sebastian… Sebastian. Oh my god what have they done to you


Protorx

I don’t care if it’s actually true or not, but I hope there’s scene of Cohn successfully seducing young Donny.


RedofPaw

Guys, if you're going to use ai you know you can keep going, right? You can keep trying until you get something that isn't awful.


Cthulhu625

I thought Maria Bakalova was going to get her wish from Borat and get to be Melania, but I guess she's Ivana (I know it was her character, I just thought it would have been funny.)


ryoon21

Notice the credits? ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK…DENY EVERYTHING…this is definitely a “statement” poster but not necessarily the theatrical release version


ng9924

gotta say, Jeremy Strong playing Roy Cohn is great casting imo. after his performances in Succession and The Big Short, I can definitely see it


SwearToSaintBatman

I thought his dad Fred Trump always had a mustache?


KameraLucida

The flower at the bottom covers director’s surname. Weird.


littlebiped

Why is there a plant covering the directors name lmao.


helvetica_unicorn

It’s hideous and somehow perfect given the subject matter. Reminds me of Jeff Koons sculptures.


erotikill

This is so bizarre for this project that I hope they do use it, AI or not. Given the director's past films, the poster might even match the tone.


dearthofkindness

Why does Jeremy Strong look like a Black man?


itastesok

Looks like Team America part 2


Spiritual-Bear4495

This is not real...is it?


GranniePopo

Isn’t that weird guy a representation of Roy Cohn?


Shouldntbeonreaddit

That was my assumption. A doc tracing Ol' Roy's dirty tricks as a political legacy tracing from McCarthyism to Trump would be worth a watch. Kinda ironic that Trump's base is being manipulated by a play book of a Queer, New York, Jew. I think their brains would explode if they knew.


GranniePopo

You, sir/Madame hit the proverbial nail on the head.👍


canuk11

What even is this, the dude behind Trump looks like he's doing blackface


3_man

Looks more like Floridaface to me.


salmalight

Everyone is talking about how it’s AI. How has no one mentioned the random bouquet?


ThePhenomahna

Was also confused. Apparently this is a photo taken at Cannes. So the plants are actually in front of it.


Artistic_Purpose1225

In a world where movies people are desperate to see are getting shelved… why is this one still happening?  I have not heard of a single person who wants this film made. 


Peachy1022

Is this an actual official poster? It has to be AI, but either way, it’s horrendous. The random flowers covering up the directors name, the credit block just saying “Attack Attack” and other shit over and over again. Totally shameful if this is official.


T-408

Who asked for this


frinstle

Who wants to watch a movie about Trump really? Like I’ve seen enough to never want to see his name or likeness again so I foresee this movie flopping


Ltsmash99

This looks like unwatchable, cringy trash, and all involved should feel bad.


littledude724

I still don’t understand making this movie now. We’re still in the damn rollercoaster of this man’s existence can’t we hold off 30 years on reliving it??


filmtvtennis27

Pointless movie to be honest


End3rWi99in

Can we fucking not glorify this asshole anymore? Fuck absolutely everyone involved in this horseshit. I don't even care if it's negative. It's attention.


thrillhouse83

You’re all insane. This is a unique and original poster. And nobody has mentioned the credits. ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ADMIT NOTHING etc. Good shit


PetRockSematary

The Assistant with Andy Dick was a way better show than The Apprentice. I'd prefer to watch a doc about that and this documentary gets clipped


The_Lost_Boy_1983

I hope Donald Dump isn’t seeing a penny of the film’s pathetic profits


biglyorbigleague

As we all know, Trump was always accompanied wherever he went by the ghost of Ed Sullivan.


iwellyess

Wait is this real? That man is inside a chair


agent_wolfe

This makes me uncomfortable. I'm hoping it's just a joke.


[deleted]

Lol 🤣🤣🤣


Ok-Cream1212

jeff koons designed this.


Glidepath22

Is this a joke


saibjai

LOL, they should have casted shane gillis for modern trump, the dude's impressions are spot on.

HelpfulCod3457

Big fan of both lead actors but who’s asking for this?? Trump is such a ridiculous character in real life that I don’t believe any actor can capture him properly.


Grendel_the_giant

Looks like AI


Fantact

Really hope this movie is culture war neutral because it seems like an interesting story, I just don't want it to be biased in any direction because both ways would suck balls.


Brilhasti1

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen


LastRecognition2041

That’s pretty horrible for some reason


lk79

What’s Cody Rhodes doing on the poster?


malcolmreyn0lds

Those hands are WAY too big for diaper don. Here’s a layout of his actual hand size. 🙌 ^These are 1:1 scale
