While many viewers are pretty much talking about the new action-packed film of Angelina Jolie, the advertising that they have used is hearing it as they were deemed favoring violence and gun crime. Technically, the movie was all about these two unwanted parts of society but apparently seeing them on posters is another thing.
On whether the ad was intentionally made to look that way or perhaps it is the actual theme of the movie is anyone’s guess. But if you have a movie that portrays you in such a role, it looks interesting to note if Angelina Jolie had any choice to begin with.
One poster showed Jolie crouched holding a gun, while her co-star James McAvoy was also pictured brandishing guns which were directed at the reader.
Another advert, headlined “6 Weeks ago I was just like you” and with the text “And then I met her … and my world was changed forever”, also included pictures of Jolie holding a gun, including one image in which she was firing the weapon.

A year after they were accused of misleading advertising practices, Pfizer is set to resume it advertising prowess with a twist; no celebrities, no expert advice. A wise move? Well perhaps considering that the best way to market is through the testimony of actual people who have tried it can be cheaper and more effective.
But basing from its run-in last year, it looks like Pfizer has a lot of work to do on the part of once again getting the trust of the public. Well, they have to start somewhere and apparently this is a good way to do it without any strings attached this time around.
This time around, Pfizer felt that using an average guy, someone with a story similar to that of many other baby boomers, struck the right chord.
“When we did testing with consumers, what we found out was John really resonated with them,” said Jim Sage, senior director and leader of the Lipitor marketing team at Pfizer.
Mr. Sage declined to say how much the drug company is spending on the new campaign but said it will have a wide presence on TV and in print. “This ad is going to run for a while on a national basis,” he said.
