Killers could have the worst poster ever.

http://www.impawards.com/2010/killers_ver3.html

From the trailer: Ashton Kutcher is a spy, and Katherine Heigl is a normal lady who falls in love with him.

Kutcher somehow found some time away from tweeting to pose for a photo. He looks like he's whining about how he can't borrow the car to go to the movies with his pals but at least he's trying to convey an emotion.

Heigl, on the other hand. Yikes. I'm confused, did her performance in Knocked Up fool people into thinking she could act? I'm not sure what kind of emotions she's trying to channel. She's a Barbie doll crossed with Vanna White crossed with a '50s housewife. All she's missing is a pearl necklace and a pot roast. A human being never looked more plastic.

It's a terrible, horrible poster. And yet, like a train wreck or Christina Hendricks, I can't look away. Maybe because I see the ads for it on the train every day. Or maybe because it's so horribly misguided it transcends mere badness. There is no possible way this poster could make anyone want to watch this movie, and yet it exists.
