I listed it as one of my top tier Best Picture candidates in my Oscar update article earlier today and now we get our first look at the George Clooney-directed The Ides of March, which takes place during the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, when an up-and-coming campaign press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate’s shot at the presidency.
The film is based on the play “Farragut North” by Beau Willimon and you can see a hint of the Barack Obama-esque posters for Clooney’s presidential candidate character in the background of the picture above, a larger version of which was seen at Eonline some time ago.
Columbia is set to debut the film on October 7, but I am already hoping they unspool it in Toronto in September. Fingers crossed.
I’ve also recently uploaded several more images from upcoming films including the following. Just click on any of the titles to check out the galleries:
- Total Recall (First look at Colin Farrell in the upcoming remake)
- Underworld Awakening (First look at Kate Beckinsale in the fourth film in the franchise)
- The Smurfs (25 new images from the CG/live-action feature)
- The Change-Up (20 new images from the Ryan Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman comedy)
- Cowboys and Aliens (27 new images from the upcoming sci-fi western)
- Hugo (First hi-res look at the poster for Martin Scorsese’s new film)
