Earlier this year we saw photos of co-stars Ryan Gosling and George Clooney on the set of their new political thriller The Ides of March. Today we get our first look at the first poster for the film. As you can see below, the poster features a clever mash-up of Gosling‘s face with Clooney‘s face on the cover of Time magazine. It appears that Gosling‘s character (a press secretary) has a strange fascination with Clooney‘s character (a political candidate) … hence the warning, Beware the Ides of March. Check out the poster in full below.
A day after the Toronto Film Festival announced that it would host the North American premiere of The Ides of March, Columbia Pictures released a mesmerizing poster for director George Clooney’s political drama, starring Clooney, Ryan Gosling, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. “Is This Man Our Next President?” asks the cover of TIME magazine that Gosling’s campaign press secretary holds up in the poster. His face perfectly mirrors that of his boss, Clooney’s ambitious presidential candidate. The film takes place during Ohio’s Democratic presidential primary, and Gosling’s aide gets involved in a political scandal that could undermine his boss’ chances for the White House. Clooney also told USA Today, which has a collection of Ides photos, that he initially planned to make the movie, based on the play Farragut North, in 2008, but he decided the country was in too hopeful a mood during President Obama’s campaign for this cynical tale. “Now the cynicism seems to have come back,” he said.
You know, I’m not a big fan of political thrillers but this one looks good. I’m totally down with the cast. I’m curious to see how this plays out, especially in today’s political climate. First, I need to see Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love but, yeah, I’m down for this one too. Are you?
