Arrival stars Amy Adams as a language expert trying to communicate with an alien race that lands on earth. A new trailer for the film was released earlier this week as were as a number of promo photos.
One of these photos depicts a UFO landing in Hong Kong, the problem being that the Oriental Pearl Tower, a TV tower located in Shanghai’s Pudong district, has been pasted into the foreground of the picture.
It kind of gives new meaning to the film’s tagline ‘Why are they here?’, sparking the question ‘Why is THAT TOWER here?’
The #HongKongisNotChina is now trending and people are quite peeved about the major error. Hong Kong, which was a British colony until 1997, has been rocked by political turmoil in recent years amid increasing control from Beijing. A number of independent groups have called for independence from China, so the release of a poster like this really doesn’t help these rising tensions.
