Ryan Gosling's hand altered in 'La La Land' re-release poster after years of actor's complaints
For the tenth anniversary re-release of 'La La Land' in US theaters, the promotional poster has been subtly altered to change the position of Ryan Gosling's hand, a detail the actor had publicly criticized for years. The original 2016 poster featured Gosling and Emma Stone dancing with Los Angeles skyline in the background, both with one arm raised. In the new version, Gosling's hand direction has been adjusted, fulfilling a long-standing request from the actor. The change has sparked discussion among fans and media, though the production company has not officially commented on the alteration.
