BEING A FOOTBAL PLAYER MYSELF, AND BEING
REALLY INTERESTED IN THE TIME OF THE
“LEATHERHEADS” I AM HOPING THEY DID A GOOD JOB
WITH THIS FILM. I ALSO WRITE SCREENPLAYS.
THIS “PERIOD FOOTBALL” DOESN’T REALLY NEED A
COMEDY APPROACH. THESE GUYS WERE VERY RUGGED
AND I SEE CRUSTY ACTORS BEING A BETTER CHOICE.
BUT, ANYTHING LIKE THIS IS BETTER THAN THE
USUAL CRAP TO COME OUT OF BRAINLESS HOLLYWOOD.

As an Australian I can guarantee that they will most definitely be toning down the football aspect for international markets. Just a quick look at the box office totals for movies revolving around american football show that they rarely, if ever, translate to overseas. In fact, quite a lot go direct-to-dvd here. Stuff like We Are Marshall and Invincible never got theatrical releases.

Just last year the American posters for The Game Plan featured The Rock in his football garb, while over here the posters featured The Rock merely in ordinary plain clothes.

About the posters for Leatherheads, the only major problem I have (because, as we’ve surely figured out by now, there’s a very good reason for it) is that the title doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense in the context of the second poster.

I like the first poster. It’s not great or anything, but it’s conveys the football/comedy side of the movie well.

The second I could do without. I do think it’s smart for them to do the two-pronged effort, especially considering the distaste for American football that places outside of America have, but the tagline is just plain awful, and the poster looks awfully generic.
