Dvd Rental Firm Removing Dead Murphy Film Posters
By WENNThursday, December 24, 2009
Bosses at an American DVD rental company have issued an emergency recall for promotional posters for BRITTANY MURPHY movie DEADLINE - because they feature the late actress posing lifeless in a bathtub.
Redbox executives sent out the marketing material prior to Murphy’s tragic death on Sunday (20Dec09), but now officials are working fast to remove the posters from their 19,000 kiosks across the U.S. fearing the image is in poor taste. TMZ.com reports the task will take up to 10 days to complete.
The Clueless actress was found unconscious in the shower at her Hollywood Hills home and was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.
The cause of death has yet to be determined, but officials believe the star died from natural causes.
Murphy will be laid to rest in California on Thursday (24Dec09).
