Yes, we have no idea what the movie will be like, but this particular poster is definitely an example of a product being done for all the the wrong reasons. Whether it reflects on the movie itself or just the marketing department is another matter.

I mean... that's true. But it's a MARKETING poster, put together by the marketing team - not the writers or creatives on the movie. Its intent is to get people to remember the original so they come to see this one. It's not supposed to be a high concept art piece. They'd be stupid not to lean into nostalgia.

What matters is the final film, and if it does the same thing.

You can’t deny it is pretty disheartening

I… do not agree. A poster that triggers nostalgia? It tells me nothing about the project.

It might be shitty, it might be fantastic.
