Poster appears for Taymor's Tempest - is that Ben Whishaw????

The first poster (or as far as I can tell) had appeared on the web. Thanks to Cinema Blend who spotted it (read the story here).

Apart from being a lovely poster I got excited about the silvery figure at the top. Is this Ariel? Is this our lovely Mr W. I remembered in an interview in Wonderland Magazine last year where he is quoted as saying:

"I was naked apart from a little jockstrap, my eyebrows were shaved off and I was given breasts and enormous wings."

Now the eyebrows are difficult to see (or not to see if you get my drift) but those sort of look like wings and it looks a bit like his profile. So is it, is it Ben Whishaw? Whadda people reckon? Can I inwardly jump up and down in premature excitement about the film and his turn as the moody spirit?

The more I look at it the more obvious it is and yes Eliza, I can't think of any other character that would look like that in The Tempest. It is one of the Shakespeare plays I studied so I've always had a soft spot for it. *excited*

Yup Rev! That is our Ben!

I think it has to be! The only character in The Tempest who should look anything like that is Ariel, right? I just want to see some more!
