10 Movie Posters That Spoiled EVERYTHING
3. A Dying Embrace - Pompeii
While it's a given that audiences interested in Paul W. S. Anderson's Pompeii would be aware that the film would depict the titular city's destruction by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., the outcome of its Titanic-esque love story seemed a little less certain.
That was, unless, you took a gander at the poster, which blatantly showed gladiator Milo (Kit Harington) and his lover Cassia (Emily Browning) sharing an embrace while the volcano violently erupts behind them.
While some might've assumed the poster was merely a conceptual one to synergise the film's romantic and action-based elements, lo and behold, the very end of the film indeed sees Milo and Cassia having one final kiss before being engulfed by Mount Vesuvius' pyroclastic flow.
Hell, the poster even clarifies the point further with the tagline, "No warning. No escape," confirming that the movie's characters won't find a way to miraculously survive and get their Hollywood happy ending.
