I know there are a lot of people out there extremely interested in David Cronenberg’s first outing since A History of Violence in 2005 and again he teams with Viggo Mortensen with Eastern Promises due out on September 14 in limited theaters. The film also stars Naomi Watts, Vincent Cassel, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Sinéad Cusack, Donald Sumpter and Jerzy Skolimowski.
The thriller follows the mysterious and ruthless Nikolai (Mr. Mortensen), who is tied to one of London’s most notorious organized crime families. His carefully maintained existence is jarred when he crosses paths with Anna (Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts), an innocent midwife trying to right a wrong, who accidentally uncovers potential evidence against the family. Now Nikolai must put into motion a harrowing chain of murder, deceit, and retribution.
We just added two new pics from the film, which you can see here or, if you haven’t done so yet, click here to check out the trailer.
