A viral Facebook poster for The Odd Trio, starring Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, and Adam Sandler, has audiences wondering whether the upcoming comedy is real. 

The synopsis for the alleged 2025 film teases an "unexpected road trip after a mix-up" between "three mismatched strangers:"

"In 'The Odd Trio' (2025), three mismatched strangers—Charlie (Adam Sandler), Leo (Jim Carrey), and Frank (Tom Hanks)—are forced into an unexpected road trip after a mix-up at a high-stakes event. Their journey turns into a series of chaotic misadventures involving mistaken identities, eccentric side characters, and heartfelt revelations about friendship. With a production budget of $100 million, the film boasts grand set pieces, hilarious stunts, and emotional depth. Surpassing expectations, it earned over $600 million worldwide, cementing itself as a comedy classic. The chemistry between the three leads captivated audiences, making it one of the year’s biggest hits."

Despite how intriguing a movie with these three seasoned stars sounds, the film and its poster are fake.
