Hilarious problem with Steven Spielberg’s new movie poster
Steven Spielberg fans have called ‘Photoshop fail’ on the poster for his new sci-fi thriller, Ready Player One.
In the poster, star Tye Sheridan is seen climbing a ladder and looking out over a futuristic city. But it’s his rather lengthy right leg that is causing fans to question how this film poster ever got approved.
Fans are wondering whether the film’s star may actually have freakishly long limbs in the movie, while others are simply blaming Photoshop for the issue.

There would be less controversy if they'd just used the full title, Ready Player One Leg Longer Than The Other. pic.twitter.com/ElSDibX6cw — Pete Rogers (@PeteRogers) December 11, 2017

Ready Player One is actually about a future boy whose leg won’t stop growing so he’s forced to climb poorly designed ladders. — Dennie Bright (@denniebright) December 9, 2017

While everyone loves a good bit of Photoshop gone wrong (remember the Tomb Raider film with Alicia Vikander’s dinosaur-like long neck?), we will have to wait for the film’s release to see whether the poster’s designer was just, err, pulling our leg.
The film was due to be released in Australia this month, but has been pushed back to March 2018 to avoid competing with Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
