I gotta think there's a better way to promote FRED CLAUS than this teaser poster. I mean it's concept (Vince Vaughn as loser brother to Paul Giamatti's Santa Claus) that's practically spilling over with assorted hilarious imagery yet the best they could come up with is a highly Photoshopped Vince Vaughn peering through a peephole? Granted the film doesn't come out for a full year and this is just a teaser poster but this and the lackluster teaser trailer have me scratching my head. I don't believe this poster is anywhere else on the web so consider it a first look - not that I'm necessarily eager to show it off...

Teaser Trailer
I thought the teaser trailer was great, but this poster does in fact bring a whole lot of suckage to the table.

As unoriginal as it may be, they would have been better off with something along the lines of Bad Santa with Vaughn looking trashy in a Santa suit and smoking a cigarette and then throw in Santa Giamatti giving him a wag of the finger. This poster is so bad, it's unbelievable. This is the kind of poster I would have expected to see a year ago as a promotion before the script was even finished.

If there were Dodgeball action figures...
I would swear that was a plastic Peter LaFleur looking at me.

As this is only a teaser, it's done its job of letting me know when it is coming out.

Vince Vaughn looks like ass in that photo! That makes the film look no better than that Santa Claus 3 film.
