Out revealed the first look at the official movie poster for Stonewall, describing it as a riotously colorful tribute to the past.
With Danny (Jeremy Irvine), Ray/Ramona (Jonny Beauchamp), Marsha P. Johnson (Otoja Abit), and others caught in a joyous embrace, director Roland Emmerich told Out the design deliberately hearkens back to the time of the Stonewall riots: “This image famously used by the Gay Liberation Front in 1970 was my inspiration for the Stonewall poster. It perfectly captures the triumphant, jubilant feeling of the time.”
The movie has been heavily criticized for ignoring the role drag queens, the transgender community, and people of color played in the 1969 riots and the release of this poster is unlikely to quell that criticism.
