There were definitely some mixed reactions to the trailer. A couple liked what they saw, but for the talk centered on whether the ending would play out as it originally did. I’d like to elaborate, however it wouldn’t be fair to those who have not seen Park Chan-wook’s original. You still have time to see it by the way.
A new poster has hit and it doesn’t seem to scream “Wes Anderson” like the last one did. I didn’t hate it either. This one is a little bit more up my alley. Despite how you feel about the new take on the film, at least the posters don’t have floating heads.
