Hilarious problem with Steven Spielberg’s new movie poster
<p>Steven Spielberg fans have called ‘Photoshop fail’ on the poster for his new sci-fi thriller, <em>Ready Player One</em>.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>While everyone loves a good bit of Photoshop gone wrong (remember the <em>Tomb Raider</em> film with Alicia Vikander’s <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41331702" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">dinosaur-like long neck</span></strong></a>?), we will have to wait for the film’s release to see whether the poster’s designer was just, err, pulling our leg.</p>
<p>The film was due to be released in Australia this month, but has been pushed back to March 2018 to avoid competing with <em>Star Wars: The Last Jedi</em>. </p>
