This is one of three character posters produced for the film, Chicago. Unlike the payoff poster, a character poster highlights an individual figure within a film. Today, this type of imagery is primarily used for social-media campaigns or wild-postings, while in the 2000s and earlier it would have appeared on a poster in theaters as promotion for high-budget productions. While all of the character posters have the same stock Chicago skyline as the payoff poster, a special photoshoot was held for each actor in character, complete with an on- set choreographer to create Broadway-inspired poses and give the costumes movement.
