The new poster for the upcoming fuckbuddy comedy “No Strings Attached” with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher (not be confused with “Friends With Benefits,” “Just Go With It” or “Hall Pass“) has arrived and it gets straight to the point. It shows the two leads post-coitus (or at least that’s what we assume by Portman’s carefully crafted head of tousled hair) getting their remarkably well-pressed clothing backing on. We’d swear we just saw this same picture in a catalog for Abercrombie & Fitch.
Anyway, while we didn’t think much of the generic trailer that hit recently, we do hold out some hope. The film boasts a pretty solid supporting cast including Greta Gerwig, Mindy Kaling, Ludacris, Jake Johnson, Kevin Kline and Olivia Thirlby and it’s based on a Black List-worthy script by Liz Meriwether which we enjoyed, so fingers crossed.
Even though it opens in the cinematic trouble zone fresh in the new year, we’ll give the Ivan Reitman-directed comedy a chance when it hits on January 21, 2011.
Before Justin & Mila & Ashton & Natalie came the multi-festival award winning indie version FRIENDS (WITH BENEFITS). Oh, and incidently it too was originally titled \” Fuck Buddies\” in 1999 by New Haven based writer Gorman Bechard.
Not to be confused with the studio version, check out the sexy, funny, comedy here on fancast: http://www.fancast.com/movies/Friends-with-Benefits/146205/1581993781/Friends-(With-Benefits)/videos
it\’sa sarcastic, cute poster makin fun of those who do it but don\’t tell, which by the way can be very excitin, believe me! Can\’t wait to see it in January.
Reminds me of the awful covers of awful 80s sex comedies I would see at the video store as a kid. I predict the Justin Timberlake version is a better/funnier film because he could always motherlove Patricia Clarkson.
Duly noted.
All that impressed me was about how Ms. Portman is about to be unavoidable after BLACK SWAN comes out. \”All of a sudden,\” she – not Heigl, not the Jessicas or Jennifers – has got early 2011 locked down.
Wow the have some fantastic actors in this movie. jesus christ
did hollywood just discover the concept of \”fuckbuddies\”. i hate that word by the way.
