Just look at this team. Their faces read, “Close the deal, you won’t regret it.”

A good stock photo makes you believe, a bad one makes you laugh. But when you recognize the team leader is Vince Vaughn, his smoldering confidence projects that good laughs lie ahead.

To promote his upcoming comedy Unfinished Business, 20th Century Fox used iStock by Getty Images to create a series of stock photos, featuring Vaughn and co-stars Dave Franco and Tom Wilkinson, to promote the film. Unlike the bad stock photos that cost money, these are available for editorial use for free.

Adweek, a news source that covers the advertising industry, broke the story Tuesday.

The actors had their work cut out for them as they acted out various themes to capture the campy spirit of stock photos.

The film trailer below will paint a more real picture of putting delicate details in the hands of Vaughn and partners.

“What began as a routine business trip goes off the rails in every imaginable — and unimaginable — way, including unplanned stops at a massive sex fetish event and a global economic summit,” Vaughn told Adweek.
