What a shoddy looking first poster for the The Giver, the scan lines over the monochrome floating heads of Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep are laughable and what exactly am I supposed to take away from the back-to-back stance of stars Brenton Thwaites and Odeya Rush, and what are they looking at?
Based on Lois Lowry‘s novel and directed by Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm), The Giver centers on Jonas (Thwaites), who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Katie Holmes, Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd, Taylor Swift and Cameron Monaghan co-star.
The Giver is set to hit theaters on August 15, to watch the latest trailer click here.
