Elisha Cuthbert’s ‘Captivity’ Ads Cause Uproar
In her upcoming movie, Elisha Cuthbert stars as top cover girl and fashion model, Jennifer Tree. The horror flick is already stirring up controversy as its theatrical release date of July 13 rapidly approaches us.
According to Stephen Rea of the Philadelphia Enquirer, “When posters for the forthcoming ’Captivity,’ in which Elisha Cuthbert stars as a young woman imprisoned, tormented and tortured, were slapped on bus shelters around L.A., there was a public uproar. One ad sheet, titled ‘TORTURE,’ showed Cuthbert with tubes stuck up her nose, draining blood.”
Meanwhile, Jill Soloway, a TV producer, wrote that ‘Captivity’ posters “managed to recall Abu Ghraib, the Holocaust, porn and snuff films all at once.”
Due to the public criticism, the posters were taken down, but not before Lionsgate had achieved invaluable free publicity for their upcoming release.
Seemingly far removed from the drama surrounding her movie, Elisha was spotted loading her Porsche with a handful of goodies after a Sunset Plaza shopping trip late last week.
