- Film returns to Dolby Cinema/AMC screens on 16 August 2026

## Summary

Lionsgate has released a revised poster for "La La Land" to mark the film's tenth anniversary, correcting the position of Ryan Gosling's hand in the famous dancing scene that had bothered the actor for years. Gosling told The Wall Street Journal in 2024 that the image "haunts" him, revealing he had flattened his hand during filming rather than keeping it raised as choreographed, wrongly believing at the time that this looked "cooler". He nicknamed the mistake his "La La Hand" and said it "killed the energy" of the shot, so the new artwork effectively restores the pose he now wishes had been used all along.

The updated poster accompanies a theatrical re-release of the Damien Chazelle-directed musical on Sunday 16 August, screening in Dolby Cinema at AMC Theatres, alongside a new trailer released by Lionsgate. "La La Land" starred Gosling and Emma Stone as a struggling jazz pianist and an aspiring actress falling in love in Los Angeles, with support from John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt, Finn Wittrock and J.K. Simmons; the film won six Oscars, including Best Director for Chazelle and Best Cinematography.
