According to Wall Street Journal's blog, the poster was picked up from an online community of fans of the two actors. It seems the image had been photoshopped as a prank.The photo shopped poster shows the brothers snuggled in a tender embrace, which has no relation to the actual movie plot. The image has sparked many comments on Weibo, said the Wall Street Journal's blog.The cinema apologized on its verified Weibo account, saying the poster has been removed.
