At long last, Ryan Gosling‘s wish has been granted.

After speaking out in multiple interviews over the years about his dislike of his hand placement as featured on the original “La La Land” theatrical release poster, Lionsgate has unveiled a new design for the movie’s 10th anniversary with Gosling’s flat hand now sticking out.

Back in 2024, Gosling told The Wall Street Journal Magazine about a “moment” in the Oscar-winning hit that still haunts him years later: “We’re dancing, Emma and I, and I didn’t know this would become the poster for the movie. We were supposed to have our hands up, and I thought it would be cool to put my hand [more flat] even though everyone told me it wasn’t cool. I was sure it was cooler.”
