Huge goof on “Red” trailer misspells author Jack Ketchum’s name

Jack Ketchum’s fans have been waiting a long time to see the movie adaptation of his celebrated revenge story “Red,” so imagine their surprise to see the author’s name misspelled as “Jack Ketchmum” in the movie’s official trailer!

Here’s a screen grab I took:

Catch the trailer at Apple.com.

I’ve emailed Jack Ketchum (and yes, I know that this is a pen name) to let him know about the goof. Apparently he’s out of town for the next few days. Hopefully someone at Magnolia Pictures or Billygoat Pictures will be able to fix the mistake before he gets back into town!
