Star-struck and Creatively Challenged Movie Poster

A U.S. movie and Taiwanese movie poster both use the sky of Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. Independently created? I have seen both movies, and beside the poster, they have nothing in common.

Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris
September 2011
Tom Lin’s 星空 (Starry Starry Night), Taiwan
November 2011

Starry Night also inspired Starry Starry Night by Don McLean’s, listen to it here.

UPDATE March 13, 2012: Jing Gao of the Ministry of Tofu shows that the lack of imagination is not limited to Taiwanese poster makers. See 41 pairs of blatantly copycat posters in China and their originals here.
