Why Is Everyone Talking About Ryan Gosling's Wrist?

Lionsgate adjusted Ryan Gosling’s pose on the poster for the film’s 10th-anniversary rerelease, after he called the original image one of his greatest regrets.

  • On Monday, July 20, Lionsgate Studios released a redesigned La La Land poster for the film's 10th anniversary, adjusting Ryan Gosling's hand position to match Emma Stone's pose.
  • For years, Gosling cited his flat hand in the original artwork as a "moment that haunts" him, admitting to The Wall Street Journal in 2024 that the spontaneous decision "killed the energy" of the dance.
  • Lionsgate executive Justin Manfredi called the revision "vastly different" from its predecessor, while fans on social media reacted with humor, writing, "Waited 10 years for this moment!" and "RIP LA LA HAND."
  • The musical romance, which won six Academy Awards and earned 447 million USD worldwide, returns to theatres on August 16 with screenings in Dolby Cinema at AMC Theatres.
  • La La Land joins other films that retroactively altered promotional materials, such as Arrival and Spider-Man, while a Broadway adaptation of the film remains in development.
