Well, probably not a head replacement, just a slightly different pose in the same series of photographs. It’s hard to get the exact same pose/image as used in a poster, since they’re usually not released. Publicity departments (which usually get the first pick of photography ahead of marketing, etc.) are usually the guility party in releasing photo special shoot images out in the wild.

We’ll be covering all stages/aspects of creating a movie poster, so we’ll be getting to body doubles and “Pretty Woman” soon enough. ;)

Interesting that there seems to be some head replacement going on there.

I’d love it if you’d do a feature covering the photo-montaging required to assemble posters – particularly when body-doubles etc. are used (a la ‘Pretty Woman’ etc.)
