Upon its release, Disney’s live-action retelling of Aladdin quickly became one of Disney’s highest-grossing properties of the year. Case in point, the Guy Ritchie-helmed, Will Smith-starring take on the 1992 original clocked in a total of 1.051 billion dollars at the box-office; a haul worthy of the Cave Of Wonders. Naturally, it didn’t take long for a sequel to bein production, with Deadline reporting that John Gatins (Flight) and Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton) have been tasked with scriptwriting duties. Other than that, details surrounding returning cast remain unclear.

Naturally, fans of the Aladdin franchise will no doubt look to fan-favorite sequels Return Of Jafar and The King Of Thieves, the latter of which found Robin Williams reprising his role as The Genie. Should they be so inclined, there’s plenty of source material to draw from. Whatever direction they happen to take, all signs point to another major haul for the house of mouse, who seem deadset on remaking the majority of their golden-era animated classics. 

While Aladdin received mixed reviews from critics, many found enjoyment on the basis of nostalgia alone. Will it be enough to keep a sequel afloat? Or more importantly, how many dump trucks full of money are set to roll up to the Smith estate?

Remember when someone changed the “Hollywood” sign to spell out “Hollyweed” instead on New Year’s Day in 2017? Well, the same innovative genius who pulled off that legendary prank has been commissioned by the movie biz to design a poster for the upcoming Guy Ritchie film, The Gentlemen. This poster is not just any regular old poster, though: it’s made entirely out of weed.

The multi-media artist in question, Zach Fernandez aka Jesushands, shared a video on Instagram in which he describes the “experimental art project” he was asked to make to promote the film. In order to concoct the piece, he used all the different parts of the cannabis plant. “The buds, keef leaves, and stems all played an important role in creating the textures needed to bring this portrait to life,” he explains. He notes in the caption that the project “was a bit challenging” but that he is “completely satisfied with the results.” The finished product depicts the apparenaces of the actors that star in the film—Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell, Charlie Hunnam, Hugh Grant, Michelle Dockery, and Henry Golding—using weed particles.

It makes sense that a poster like this would be commissioned for this film in particular. The cinematic story follows the life of American expatriot Mickey Pearson, played by Matthew McConaughey. When Mickey decides to cash out of his highly profitable marijuana business in London, word gets out and the cast of characters plot and scheme in an attempt to steal his business out from under him. The Gentlemen opens in theatres on Friday, January 24th.
