There was a glaring error on all those posters for Amy Schumer's new movie Trainwreck. Did you catch it? Well, never you fear. Someone on Twitter found it and fixed the Trainwreck movie poster for us. Check it out!
The original Trainwreck poster read, "From the guy who brought you Bridesmaids." Um, wait ... the guy? I thought two women, Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, brought us Bridesmaids! And they're not the ones who wrote Trainwreck, so ... huh?
Oh, I get it. They're talking about the producer, Judd Apatow. He was the "guy" who gave both female-driven comedies the Man Seal of Approval to make it easier for women to drag their boyfriends to see those movies with them. It's kind of like men's personal care products -- they don't know to buy that lotion unless it reads MEN'S at the top.
Giving Apatow credit for Trainwreck is but a small price to pay for the aspiring lady screenwriter. Am I right? I'm sure Schumer was TOTALLY okay with this poster copy.
But since many of us are NOT okay with a guy getting the glory for the blockbuster comedy of the summer, Twitter user Taylor Griffin came up with the correct version of the poster.
