Why is the dog on the poster a Rottweiler when the dog in the film is a Tibetan Mastiff? Anyone?

Not even the same colour, let alone the same breed. Seems strange to me.

They messed up on the ads.

That poster is all sorts of whacked up, not only is it a completely different breed of dog but it's not a robot, it's a mastiff spliced with endangered animal DNA. WTF?

Maybe they made the poster before the movie was finished being written?;)

I was surprised as well, though I was pleased because Tibetan Mastiffs are cuter than Rottweilers in my opinion. On the other hand, they're not nearly as scary ...

I know those other posters sugerfoot is talking about. I would say the current poster being used is OK.
