Is this the most boring film still ever?

It has barrels in it!
I only ask because I'd like to know who decided that the picture below was an adequate way to represent Paul WS Anderson's The Three Musketeers. This is a film with swashbuckling, dashing and daring, beautiful women, handsome men, flying boats, old-timey ninjas, three evil villains and flying boats. Yet someone signed off on this.
I'm not sure what's worse: the incredibly drab setting (oh Mr Anderson, whisk me away to 17th century Paris!), the mundanity of the set dressing ("We shall hide here, in front of this piece of wicker") or Ray Stevenson poking his head comically over a barrel ("Peekaboo!" he'd be saying, if we could see his mouth). It's frightfully boring. But remember, it's in 3D!
I hereby announce my quest to find the most boring official film still of all time. I can't do this alone. Email me your submissions or send them to me on Twitter and I'll do a round-up of the best/worst if I can muster the energy. Most boring entry wins a boring thing. Go!
Edit: Holy shit, I almost forgot about this. I think I just won my own competition.
