Finally, Ryan Gosling’s wish has come true.
After speaking in multiple interviews over the years about his distaste for the placement of his hand as it appears on the original poster for the theatrical release of “La La Land,” Lionsgate has unveiled a new design for the film’s 10th anniversary with Gosling’s flat hand now sticking out.
Back in 2024, Gosling told The Wall Street Journal Magazine about a “moment” from the Oscar-winning success that still haunts him years later: “We’re dancing, Emma and I, and I didn’t know this would become the poster for the movie. We were supposed to have our hands up, and I thought it would be cool to put my hand up.” [more flat] although everyone told me it wasn’t right. “I was sure it was cooler.”
“Now when I look at it and I have to watch it all the time, you know what would have been cooler… [the intended pose]” Gosling added. “It just killed the energy that way. I call it La La Hand.”
Timed for its 10th anniversary, “La La Land” will be released again in theaters starting Sunday, August 16, in Dolby Cinema at AMC Theatres. The film won six Oscars, including best director and best cinematography, as well as a record seven Golden Globes. It grossed $447 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. A Broadway musical is currently in the works (the date has yet to be announced).
Gosling won a Golden Globe for his role as Seb, an aspiring pianist who falls in love with Mia (Stone), an actress who can’t catch a break. Stone won the Oscar for best actress.
