New Fanboys Poster Adds a Darth Vader Helmet to The 40-Year-Old Virgin
In order to combat the recently announced Fanboys delay, The Weinstein Company has released a handful of new photos and a new poster for the movie to try to and maintain whatever little bit of momentum they might possibly have left. The funny thing is, as soon as I saw this poster, my initial thoughts were (a) it looks like a bad fan photoshop job, and (b) it looks like a direct reference to The 40-Year-Old Virgin theatrical poster.
When comparing the two side by side, there are a few more differences than I thought there would be, but come on… you can’t tell me that’s just a coincidence! I guess they were hoping that we might associate the two movies subconsciously… sneaky bastards. Hey, if Fanboys ends up being as good as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, I’ll snort lines of cocaine off the sweaty stomach of an obese Star Wars nerd! (Okay, no I won’t.) Anyway, you can check out the poster and new photos over at Cinematical right now.

Admittedly, I enjoy the “Never tell them the odds” tagline. The helmet doesn’t look right sitting on that body.

Posted by Anon on April 9th, 2010maybe you could use common sense and realise they both have seth rogen involved. y’know, him, steve carell, jay baruchel, judd apatow, jonah hill? they’re all big buddies now & they’re all in each others movies. maybe it was intentional? arsewipes.
