Artist Takes Movie Posters a Little Too Literally

Most movie posters can give you a good clue as to what the film is about -- but it's easy to misinterpret a title's clever turn of phrase.

Mumbai-based designer Danish Ahmed illustrated this humorous series that reimagines some of Hollywood's recent popular pictures and takes their titles quite literally. Movies like The Wolf of Wall Street look entirely different, replacing Leonardo Dicaprio as a wealthy stockbroker with a hungry-looking wolf stalking an empty Wall St.

Each little brainworm is not only worth a good chuckle, but makes you curious to see these different titles in their literal form. Who knows, maybe a movie about the mathematical constant "pi" would do well at the box office.
