After 10 years of aggravating Ryan Gosling, the studio behind La La Land has officially altered the movie's poster to make up for the actor's biggest on-set mistake.
According to Variety, Lionsgate has just unveiled a new design for La La Land's 10th anniversary movie poster, featuring Gosling's hand curved upward as opposed to flattened out.
The change comes years after Gosling first mentioned how much the hand gesture on the poster bothered him, specifically mentioning that it "haunted" him to this day.
"We’re dancing, Emma and I, and I didn’t know this would become the poster for the movie," Gosling told The Wall Street Journal Magazine. "We were supposed to have our hands up, and I thought it would be cool to put my hand [more flat] even though everyone told me it wasn’t cool. I was sure it was cooler.”
“Now when I look at it, and I have to see it all the time, you know what would’ve been cooler… [the intended pose],” Gosling continued. “It just killed the energy that way. I call it La La Hand.”
To celebrate the film's 10th anniversary, La La Land will see a limited rerelease to theaters starting on Sunday, August 16, in Dolby Cinema at AMC Theatres.
A critically acclaimed musical comedy drama, the film follows Gosling's jazz pianist and Emma Stone's aspiring actress as they strike up a romance in Los Angeles, all the while pursuing their individual creative passions.
At the time of its release, La La Land won a total of six Oscars, including Best Director and Best Cinematography, and a record-breaking seven Golden Globes. More recently, a Broadway musical based on the film is currently in development, although a date for the show's debut in New York has yet to be announced.
