What are they looking at? We have no idea what the conceit is behind the new poster for the upcoming, downsizing drama “The Company Men” but we really hope it’s not a riff on the kitty on a wire, Hang In There Baby poster because that would be quite lame.
Starring Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Kevin Costner and Maria Bello this film by John Wells premiered at Sundance, was picked up by The Weinstein Company and then sort of forgotten about. In the film Affleck gets the role of the (upper) middle class everyman whose life is changed when he loses his job at the age of 37.
At any rate, we’ll see if this film is an awards horse or not when it opens on October 22nd. As a refresher, you can watch the trailer here. [Cinematical]
Actually the poster bears a resemblance to one of the Glengarry Glen Ross posters. I think they might be borrowing from that.
