King Arthur DVD or: Keira Knightley's Magical Breasts

They actually photoshopped Knightley's tits for the DVD cover.

Now, I'm as jaded as the next consumer but for some reason this shocked me. Don't get me wrong, everyone knows enlarging breasts is practically the reason airbrushes were invented but I can't understand this marketing decision at all. Do the execs think someone shopping for Edward Penis Hands will see Knightley's 30% bigger tits and say, "Hmmmm, maybe I should buy King Arthur instead."?

There looks to be a whole lot of changes made to her appearance in the cover. Her eyes and mouth are way different, her cheekbones have been softened, her stomach and hips have been shrunk and smoothed out... and much more.

It's really a shame. A girl who's already beautiful still doesn't meet a high enough standard, and has to be totally synthesized to better sell a movie. Fucking Hollywood.

They did this for the theatrical poster back in 2004. The DVD cover is just that poster. Nitpicking, but it's not like they changed it any more for the DVD.

Anyone remember Christina Ricci's already big boobs made even bigger still for the Sleepy Hollow ads?

No, but I remember Denise Richard's ass being enlarged for the Undercover Brother theatrical poster.

Ah, yes. The poster that actually made Denise Richards look unbelievably bangable.

Undercover Brother was also historically more accurate than King Arthur.

I most certainly do...they're real and they're spectacular.

I think that the Underworld posters also were similarly enhanced....

I think the best part of the keira pic is that for what can only be NO real reason, they've adjusted the entire angle of her head. It's subtle, but look at the outline of the cheekbone and next to the eyes.

My favorite example of airbrushing is definitely in victoria secret ads. And sometimes they are just crazy with the airbrushing, like to the point where it almost looks like some sort of CG drawing. I mean, why, god, why?
