The movie’s co-star took to social media to argue that hiding her eyes and much of her face in the altered poster 'is to erase me.'
The altered version of the official Universal poster hides Erivo’s eyes and much of her face to get closer to the original animated Broadway poster, where her character’s eyes were obscured by a wide-brimmed hat.
“The original poster is an illustration. I am a real life human being, whose chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer … because without words we communicate with our eyes,” Eviro, who plays Elphaba inTaron Egerton Battles Jason Bateman to Protect Plane in Netflix's Tense 'Carry-On' Trailer
The Grammy-winning and Oscar-nominated actress portrays Elphaba in the upcoming movie musical, while co-star, the Grammy-winning and SAG Award-nominated actress, plays Glinda . “Our poster is an homage not an imitation, to edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me. And that is just deeply hurtful,” Erivo added on her social media page. She left no doubt that she was deeply offended by the faked movie poster.
“This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen, equality to that awful AI of us fighting, equal to people post the question ‘is your ***** green’ None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo argued.Kristen Bell Says Her Children May Not Love ‘Frozen,’ But Appreciate “They Can Go to College Because of It”Danielle Directo-Meston.
