A spokesman for Universal Pictures confirmed the poster had been changed to simplify it for the UK and international market outside America. The statement said they had aimed “to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognizable in international markets.”
The studio apologized for causing offense and has promised to use the original poster for promotional use in other countries. Vivienne Pattison, director of Mediawatch-UK, said: “I think this was an ill-conceived move. We celebrate diversity in Britain and we could have coped with seeing the same poster used in America.”
