If Vince Vaughn's acting career goes south, at least he's got stock-photo modeling to fall back on.

As a genius promotion for his upcoming film Unfinished Business, Vaughn and his co-stars, including Dave Franco, released a series of their own clichéd, ridiculous stock photos that plague business pamphlets and PowerPoint presentations worldwide.

The images were a collaboration between Getty and Twentieth Century Fox and were created by Photoshopping the actors faces onto pre-existing photos from the "Essentials" collection.

"We’re all familiar with classic stock photos of the corporate world - the smiley-faced boardroom presentation, the friendly handshake, the high achiever climbing up the corporate ladder, briefcase in hand," a Getty representative tells Mashable. They’re all timeless classics. Joining forces with New Regency Twentieth Century Fox presented a brilliant opportunity to have some fun with these stereotypes that play directly into the business storyline of the film."

iStock will release four images a week for the next three weeks, available for free for editorial use, here. Check out the full 12, originally released by AdWeek, below.

Unfinished Business, a comedy about Vaughn and his colleagues attempting to land a deal in Europe, opens in theaters Friday.
