You may think 20th Century Fox is all about ruining movies audiences want to see and sending out cease and desist orders to stop people from advertising their films, but when they aren’t doing their best to demoralize their fans, they sometimes let something pretty cool slip through the cracks. This may be one of those increasingly rare instances.
They’ve just released a new poster for City of Ember, and it’s rather beautiful. A movie with Bill Murray as the mayor of a secret underground city is either a bad idea or a brilliant one, but right now I'm leaning towards brilliant. For now, City of Ember seems to have potential. Here’s the poster, click to supersize:

Wow... way to ruin it... Didnt these people at Fox realize that the City of Ember being underground was the big twist ending of the book?
I mean, the whole point is that these people living in Ember dont know where they are, only theres nothing beyond the darkness that sourrounds thier city and that the the city is dying. Until they discover the secret way out and at the end realize that the whole city was really underground.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but it would be like making a poster for Citizen Kane, with Charles Kane holding the sled with "Rosebud" printed right on it.
