Official Zack and Miri Make a Porno Poster Gets the Joke

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on September 12, 2008

If there is one thing I love, it is the sarcastic nature of Kevin Smith’s sense of humor. He’s not a mean guy, by any means, but he sure does like to bring absurdity to light. In this example, we have the official domestic poster for his upcoming film Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which was released via Smith’s site SilentBobSpeaks.com this morning. After their first poster was denied by the MPAA, they resorted to a much more direct approach. Smith explained the change on his site:

Our frustration in getting an MPAA approval on the American poster led to last-resort ideas about showcasing dopey, simple images instead of risque pics of our leads – which, in turn, led to what’s now the official American poster for the flick…

Have a look for yourself below. Zack and Miri Make a Porno hits theaters on October 31st. For more, check out the film’s red band trailer.

    Awesome.
    I hope that the poster becomes available for purchase here.
  • Reg
    I don't think thats a good poster Sam, but I would rather get the actual one they had out long time ago!! But its cool.
  • Eh, it's a little too graphic for me.
  • Too much CG for you, Cole?

    You are such a purist, elitist, yuppie douchebag...

    Alright, I take back the yuppie part.
  • Jeremy M
    I agree with cole, it doesn't look like they have much clothes on. I'm offended.
  • So the MPAA allows the word "titillating" but not the implication of cunning linguistics?
  • Sam
    they probably giggled at the word titillating before crying because they dropped their lolly on the ground
  • I actually like this poster better than the first one. The headline is pretty funny.
  • HempKnight757
    I liked the other one better, but this is Kevin Smith fighting back & I get it bravo, bravo.
  • So I'm confused...it wasn't ok for the Zack and Miri poster to imply oral sex but it was perfectly ok for the Good Luck Chuck poster?
