If an algorithm existed that could create the most Spielberg-ian movie poster imaginable then this would be the result.
This poster is terrible. It has that feeling of twee that I worried might infect Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans”. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t imagine it being a bad movie, but it definitely has the potential to be an underwhelming one.
The test-screening reactions for “The Fabelmans” hinted at an overall “yeah, it’s good, but not great” vibe to them. I did however speak to one particular person who fell hard for the film, but the three other reactions were mostly positive but with reservations.
I will be attending the world premiere of Spielberg’s film this Saturday at TIFF. The plan is to immediately report back here with thoughts.
