Forest Whitaker is one of my favorite actors. While The Last King Of Scotland wasn’t exactly an excellent film, Mr Whitaker himself was excellent, and well-deserving of the Oscar for Best Actor. Creative Impact Agency’s poster is a striking example of graphic design, but the “Idi Amin triplets” treatment on the DVD is just plain ridiculous. The co-lead, James McAvoy, is nowhere to be seen on the box. Ah, marketing. Here’s a Revized look at how reducing CIA’s brilliant poster art to the DVD would’ve been way too easy (and smart).
