AICN PREMIERE! KNOCKED UP Domestic Poster B!
This is the last of the three KNOCKED UP posters we’ve got for you today, and it’s probably the most low-key of the three. Even so, I like the approach. Apatow makes character comedies, not high-concept junk, and the two domestic one-sheets make sure you know this is about these two particular characters. I like the way Universal isn’t being shy about putting Rogen front and center. If he’s going to be a movie star... and I think he is... then Universal’s going to have to use him as a key piece of selling the movie. Nice step in the right direction.
Here’s Version A!
And Here’s The International One-Sheet!

...showcasing posters for a movie I've never heard of nor care to see? What is this? Is there some big "Knocked Up" craze I'm not hip to? Is there really a lot of built-in excitement for this movie among movie geeks--so much so that each individual poster warrants its own separate article? Does Gandalf make a cameo in this movie or something? I don't get it. I'm almost afraid to see the AICN media frenzy when Miss Congeniality 3 comes out. Or the next Kate Hudson movie. It's going to be a madhouse around here.

In the real world there's no way in hell that a schlub like Rogen could score a woman like Heigl. This movie is aimed strictly at guys who live in their parents basement and jerk off every hour on the hour to their mom's Victoria Secret catalogue. Rogen is funny, but not as a leading man (and face it, you have to appeal to women as well as men to make successful comedies). He's not as cute as Steve Carrel, not as doofy as Will Ferrell (which, believe it or not, makes him endearing), not as pretty as Paul Rudd or Owen Wilson, nor as cool as Vince Vaughn. So what's left? Although Rogen is funnier than Dane Cook, I think their leading man appeal will be about the same, which is to say, not much.

Cool news indeed.

She's totally gonna get that thing sucked out. I mean, look at the guy....

My God. My... God.

Not trying to flood the main page with news about this movie? It comes off as extremely amateur and appears as somewhat deliberate marketing Moriarty (not accusing you of doing anything, but thats what it appears as). You should make it one post asap.

God! I miss those trainers.
-
are you serious?
-
. . . all the overexposed, flavor-of-the-month FRIENDS stars got their first movies all at once? Prepare for the GREY'S ANATOMY invasion.

Come on Moriarty, that title alone was the definition of high concept. It wasn't about any virgin but a 40 Year Old Virgin. It was AWESOME, but it was high concept. So was Fun w/ Dick & Jane and so was Celtic Pride. Both decent films - but high concept.
-
...when it was called 'She's Having A Baby'. Remember that one? 'I'LL HAVE TO BURN THE SHEETS!'
-
That one there looks like the poster for that Vince Vaughn with Jennifer Anuston movie that is so forgettable I already forget the name.
Or have a contest for poster concepts. -
...anyone else catch on to the way the title looks like a cock & balls?

24 hours later and 3 posts.

but now that you mention it, I can see it. I wonder if it was intentional and if the censors will take notice.
