La La Land Poster Corrects Ryan Gosling’s Flat Hand 10 Years Later

Academy Award-winning musical La La Land is returning to theaters to celebrate its 10th anniversary, giving audiences another opportunity to experience Damien Chazelle’s acclaimed film on the big screen. Alongside the special re-release, Lionsgate has unveiled a refreshed version of the movie’s iconic poster, putting an end to a long-running joke shared by fans and one of the film’s stars.

Ryan Gosling’s Poster Joke Finally Gets an Update

For years, Ryan Gosling has humorously pointed out the awkward placement of his hand in the original La La Land promotional poster. The image became a recurring talking point during interviews and among fans, with many hoping the artwork would eventually receive an update.

To mark the anniversary, Lionsgate has released a revised version of the classic poster, subtly correcting the detail that Gosling had joked about for years. The studio has also introduced exclusive Dolby Cinema posters as part of the anniversary celebration.

Returning to the Big Screen

The special theatrical re-release is scheduled for August 16, allowing both longtime fans and first-time viewers to revisit the romantic musical in cinemas.

Originally released in 2016, La La Land follows aspiring actress Mia and jazz musician Sebastian as they pursue their dreams while navigating love, ambition, and sacrifice in Los Angeles. The film became one of the most celebrated releases of the decade, earning widespread critical acclaim for its storytelling, music, cinematography, and performances.

A Decade Later, the Magic Lives On

Ten years after its debut, La La Land continues to be regarded as one of modern cinema’s defining musicals. Its memorable soundtrack, vibrant visuals, and emotional story have helped it maintain a lasting place in popular culture.

The anniversary re-release offers moviegoers a chance to experience the film as it was meant to be seen—on the big screen—while celebrating a decade of one of Hollywood’s most beloved musical dramas.
