‘Dead’ Brittany Murphy Movie Poster Recalled

This is sad, unfortunate timing. We’re all familiar with the phenomenon of a long-planned magazine cover suddenly becoming inappropriate. But what happens when it’s an entire movie advertising campaign that has to recalled due to unforeseen circumstances?

Sadly, that’s what’s happened with the poster for Brittany Murphy’s film Deadline, which depicts a dead-looking Murphy in a bathtub. Murphy, as you likely know, died earlier this week from cardiac arrest after being discovered unconscious in her shower by her mother.

Redbox, a DVD distribution company, is currently attempting to remove 19,000 outdoor posters for the movie.
