14 DAY TRIAL // When the first poster for the upcoming “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie came out a few weeks ago, reactions ranged from good to excellent. However, January Jones points out on Instagram, as cool as the artwork might be, it’s not in the very least original.
Above is the teaser pic, while in the gallery below, you will find another poster that January says this one ripped off. It’s a 2010 promo material for her own television series, “Mad Men.”
“Does this look familiar to anyone else? #madmenpostercirca2010,” she writes in a post accompanying the poster for “Fifty Shades.”
However, her followers note, while there’s no denying the similarity between the two, saying that one copied the other is a tad of an exaggeration because this style in posters has been done and overdone in recent years.
