With directorsJohn Francis DaleyandJonathan Goldstein’svery funny new movieGame Nightnow in theaters, we’ve been provided with an alternate movie poster for the film to share with our readers. If you didn’t know, when a studio is coming up with their marketing plan, they design a myriad of options for the movie poster and usually the versions that aren’t used are never seen again. Over the years, I’ve seen tons of cool alternate movie posters and when I saw this one I thought it would be cool to share.
Like I’ve been saying on the site again and again, I thoughtGame Nightwas extremely funny and it had me laughing from beginning to end. And if you thought maybe it’s just me, a few nights ago we held a special early screening of the film at ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood as part of the Collider screening series and it played like the crowd was on laughing gas. Trust me, see this in a crowded theater and you’ll have a great time.
If you haven’t seenthe trailers(which, thankfully, don’t spoil all the jokes or twists and turns), the film starsJason BatemanandRachel McAdamsas a couple whose weekly game night gets kicked up a couple thousand notches when Bateman’s brother (played byKyle Chandler) arranges a murder mystery party that quickly gets out of hand. Think ofGame Nightas a comedic version ofDavid Fincher’sThe Game. The film also starsBilly Magnussen,Sharon Horgan,Lamorne Morris,Kylie Bunbury,Chelsea Peretti,Danny Huston,Michael C. Halland an amazingJesse Plemons,who plays a police officer that lives next door to Bateman and McAdams.
Check out the alternateGame Nightposter below and further down are a few links to some of our recent coverage and the official synopsis. Trust me, if you want to have a good time at the movies this weekend go seeGame Night.

Here’s the official synopsis forGame Night:
Bateman and McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game…right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this “game”—nor Brooks—are what they seem to be. Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had…or game over.
