The Rocker Poster

By Doug - May 16, 2008 - 09:00 America/Montreal

We have pilfered the new The Rocker poster from our friends at cinematical. Please treat yourselves to this…….

Rockerposter

I suppose I could say a bunch about this poster, but I think the phrase “fucking sucks” is most appropriate.

Who on earth thought this was a good idea?

    Is this a movie about Dwight Schrut’s childhood?

  2. @spence says:

    Well Spence, in this business you have to be quick (especially with an obvious joke like this).

  4. digital drew says:

    Well seeing as how the movie is starring that guy… guess it should look like him.

    “Who are the ad wizards that came up with this one.”

  5. Pete says:

    This movie looks like it will FUCKING SUCK

  6. @spence says:

    that is true :)….

    Actually, I think the poster does have a subtle humor to it, but it’s the kind of humor that works best on more favorable/known movies/actors.

    If it was a Young Steve Carrell and the movie was Get Smart, it might work better.

    wow. if judd apatow was involved his name would be all over it. but i guess he’s not.

    knock-off.

  9. Rainn Wilson’s funnier than Carrell most days.

    Get Smarts going to bomb btw.

    bill gates?

    The audience for a film starring Rain Wilson is likely going to know who he is. I think it’s funny to see a kid who is the spitting image of one of the world’s goofiest/doofiest looking actors who has comedic chops to match his looks. It’s not the most brilliant poster I’ve ever seen, but I enjoy the irony of the tag line with the image.

    I hope this guy can carry this film. He sure is funny.

  13. scot says:

    Ohh FFS !

  14. Dan says:

    I hope that he can go a little outside of “Dwight” and not fall into the stereotypical “tv-personality-that-gets-type-casted” like so many have.

  15. Bruce says:

    haha looks cool, i think the image could be digital?

    This kid looks EXACTLY like I did at that age. That is hilarious.

  18. BrDanzig says:

    This looks like a biopic of Gaahl from Gorgoroth. All it needs are severed lamb heads and crucified children.

  19. Koko says:

    Doesn’t John have a cameo in this movie?

  20. FunkyMunkey says:

    It looks like those glasses have just been photoshopped onto his face

  21. I’m siding w/NBA kid. It might remind people of when they were that age. Also, I think Doug and the int’l friends should lighten up a bit. I see nothing wrong with the one-sheet. In fact, I thought it was funny.
