When I first saw the poster/cover for this film, I thought it was a drama/horror movie in which Bettany's character was secretly malicious to the unsuspecting Kirsten Dunst. I mean, look at it. She's laughing, but he's just starting straight into the camera with an almost menacing expression. Even the text "Wimbledon" looks like it could for a clean-cut horror film (with the font choice and the stark white background).
Anyone else agree?
Yeah, maybe. It hadn't occurred to me, but the name does look rather gothic. But I have to say I did wonder about Bettany's expression in the poster. It's kind of a nice counterpoint to Dunst's laughing, his being serious. But I wondered what the heck it meant. Maybe it was meant to convey what way the movie would go.
shareYou are most certainly correct.
I always thought the poster of this film was kind of deceptive; without reading the plot and genres/tags, one might think this is about a male tennis player stalking a pretty champion and becoming obsessed with her, or something thriller-y along those lines (and by the way, I'd love to see that, lol).
Bettany definitely looks creepy and menacing in the poster, but again he always is, he can't help it!
Never paid attention to the title's font, but I agree with you, it really looks like it was made for a horror.
