So, Universal Studios changed the promotional
poster for this movie when the film hit Britain; completely obliterating the black couple from the original print! Hell, they were damn near invisible in the original print anyway. Universal's polite, public defense is that they made the change "to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognizable in international markets." Please know that Slumdog Millionaire is the third, highest-grossing film in the UK this year. A film composed of brown,
UNRECOGNIZABLE faces, mind you. Whatever, Universal! I know. Showbiz...it's just showbiz.
