This is the first time I’ve heard the word standee, meaning I’m not the movie marketing powerhouse I thought I was. If you don’t know what a standee is either, all you need is to take one look below and you’ll have all of your notions of the universe’s inner-workings obliterated. You’ll recognize it instantly if you’re of the theatre-going variety. The standee in question is for the latest George Clooney directorial effort, the historical football comedy LEATHERHEADS. The film stars Clooney as the owner of a failing professional football team in the 1920’s. In an effort to save his team and his ass, he persuades college football star and war hero Carter Rutherford (THE OFFICE’s John Krakinski) to join the team. Renee Zellweger (who is looking a lot like Cate Blanchett here) plays a reporter who gets in the way of both men. You can click on the standee to see larger version of the standee. LEATHERHEADS will be released three days after April Fool’s.
