In one of the strangest movie tie-ins ever, Getty Images and Fox have released a series of stock photos of Vince Vaughn and his co-stars in “Unfinished Business.'' The movie is set to hit the theaters later this month.
Using Photoshop, the stars have been digitally inserted into some of the cheesiest business stock photos possible. You know the type: “Hi, I’m a random person looking very excited and clapping in a meeting.”
The movie is about a small business owner (Vince Vaughn) and two associates (Tom Wilkinson and Dave Franco) on a business trip gone hilariously wrong - think the “Hangover," office-style.
"What began as a routine business trip goes off the rails in every imaginable—and unimaginable—way, including unplanned stops at a massive sex fetish event and a global economic summit.”
The stock photos, available on Getty Images’ iStock service, are available for free for editorial use only, though that hasn’t stopped several companies from already using them for advertising.
Getty has already released four images, and promises another eight over the next three weeks. We’re working on business story pitches so we can try to use all 12. Get ready.
“Unfinished Business" hits theaters March 6.
