Check out this link. They (marketing) did a little Photoshop retouching on Keira Knightley's rack for the promotion poster.

Probably NSFW ;) ;)

edit: There was a bigger picture, but the forum that hosted it was apparently deleted, so this will have to do.

:sigh: I wish i cared enough to got to the cinema these days.  Can't say there's been anything out recently that really intrests me enough to spend £5 and 2 hours of my life watching it....

Unless its on Tv, thats fair enough.

Jeez, if they're going to retouch anything, make it worth while. :doubt:

Although the original seems strangely flat... even for her.

Ok, something that "slightly" bothers me. ;)  I understand where you come from, but... If you "wish" you cared enough, then you actually do care enough to see it if it's worth it, is it a matter of lazyness? :p

KT: oh c'mon, the marketing shot is respectable. They can't push it too far, so to speak, or else it will be really obvious. Also, notice she looks slimmer in the marketing pic, and the shadow under her arm and...I'm a freak, aren't I?

I have to say, she didn't look flat in Pirates of the Caribbean, though I guess it might be those cool Victorian dresses that do the trick.

Don't any of you dare act surprised, you all knew where this thread was headed, it was just a matter of time.

;) ;)

Well, for one she wore a corset in Pirates. She also had 'painted cleavage' (shadow and such) in Pirates.

yeah well at least we're talking about the breasts of someone who's legal, and not the breasts of a 14 year old (i know you all remember the harry potter thread) :shaking:

I don't know what you're watching, but Harry is a boy. Or, so I've been told.

Harry Potter is also a movie, starring young, (apparently volluptuous, according to DC) female cast members.

Based on the ads I've seen, KA is not really worth seeing:

In the slightly upside land of Oz(stralia), voiceover-guy dares to say: "The true story... of a warrior/knight... who became King".  Ahem... "true"?

Maybe it's just a silly marketing guy, maybe it's just Oz, or maybe Hollywood really is going far beyond it's own meagre education.  I'm sorry - that ad just reeks too much of that Texas Chainsaw junk - stop this idiocy "true story" stuff.

When I see Keira Knightly's name I hear "Key-ar-uh" for some reason.  It's spelled "Kira" anyway.

I'm interested to see how much beside Guineviere's entire character they butchered.  KK's version doesn't strike me as a girl that would become a nun.

I spent 2 goddamn days downloading the ****ing thing then it wouldn't run.

And when I made this realisation, DM (being the **** that he is) went to see it, right then, at his stupid local cinema purely to piss me off.

Wow, you completely and totally missed the point.

Also, it's 'Keira'. It's only 'Kira' if the woman in question is both Bajoran and fic-tion-al.
