Check out Uma Thurman’s severed head A blog called Ironic Sans is feeling sorry for Uma Thurman after she seems to have had the same headshot grafted onto two different bodies in these movie posters for My Super Ex-Girlfriend. “If they weren’t going to do a good job, couldn’t they at least make it less obvious that it’s the exact same head?” the site complains. “And I think her (body double’s?) breasts are bigger in one shot than in the other.” (They go into the breast issue in greater detail, including an animated video comparing them.) I believe the poster on the right is the official one; perhaps the one on the left is an earlier version. —Posted by Tim Nudd

No, I think they're both official - they're posted around the corner from here on 8th & Greenwich Ave side by side.

When I worked at Ammirati, Uma Thurman's apartment was directly across the street and a floor or two lower than our offices.

I din't get a lot of great work done when I was at Ammirati.

The pictures are actually different, you and "Ironic Sans" need to pay closer attention when you write about something. Especially something stupid.

They might have toyed with them in Photoshop a bit, but those are the same photos.

I gotta say yes and no on the photos being different - and the same.

In the two shots above, it sure looks like two different bodies but with the same head and hairstyle in both. Although looking closer, the blue-background version has different hair feathered in around the edges and sides that was cloned in most likely.

Further complicating things though, if you go to the official site, (http://www.mysuperex.com/#) you'll see upon entering that the main shot of her has another subtle change in facial expression and position as she is now staring head on, not turned slightly to one side.

In that same shot, Uma’s legs are flopped from the waist down in that blue poster as compared to the website. Based on that alone, anyone suprised they would mess with her other body parts?

Enter the site and you have yet another variation of the same pose, but now her head is turned left slightly with same arms on hips.

This likely was one of 50 variations shot at the photoshoot. All she had to do was move her head ever so slightly for one, barely arch her eyebrows for another, 'show me sexy!' for yet another, and so on.

Very possible they swapped out one head for another slightly different one shot at the same time, and blended the edges in where her jaw ends. Any decent Photoshop retoucher could do this in their sleep.

My head hurts. This may actually be more attention paid to the movie than people who will actually go and see it.

;-p

My head also hurts coz I used 'slightly' slightly too much.
