Proof that every Matt Damon poster is basically the same
YouTube/20th Century Fox
When the trailer for the upcoming 'Jason Bourne' movie dropped, it came with a simple, stark poster.
Star Matt Damon's face is front and center with the tagline "You Know His Name" over it. Unlike previous films in the series, "The Bourne Identity" or "The Bournce Supremacy," the fifth film is simply the super spy's name: "Jason Bourne."
It seemed a reasonable, straight forward design until Tom Butler, deputy editor of Yahoo UK, made a very astute observation about the Damon's movie posters: many of them are all the same. Damon's face is featured prominently with simple text overlaid atop it.
The similarities are undeniable:
