Lionsgate has revealed the poster for Paul Haggis’ upcoming thriller, “The Next Three Days,” starring Russell Crowe, Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Banks and Olivia Wilde.
You’d think they’d actually want to put international star Russell Crowe’s face on it, but perhaps this is just the first iteration and we’ll eventually see the non-arty version with just faces we all know. Either way, this version is pretty unremarkable even if it’s attempting to be artistic.
In a recent issue of EW (doesn’t appear to be online) Haggis said the film was skipping the film festival circuit because he wanted it to be viewed as a commercial thriller and not an arthouse film. Sure, whatever you like, Paul. Here’s the synopsis.
Life seems perfect for John Brennan until his wife, Lara, is arrested for a gruesome murder she says she didn’t commit. Three years into her sentence, John is struggling to hold his family together, raising their son and teaching at college while he pursues every means available to prove her innocence. With the rejection of their final appeal, Lara becomes suicidal and John decides there is only one possible, bearable solution: to break his wife out of prison. Refusing to be deterred by impossible odds or his own inexperience, John devises an elaborate escape plot and plunges into a dangerous and unfamiliar world, ultimately risking everything for the woman he loves.
Her’s the trailer if you missed it. “The Next Three Days” hits theaters on November 19.
This is a remake of the French film "Anything for Her" from 2008.
I really like the poster, it looks like a variation of the old photomosaic photos. This poster is a bit arty, but it's complex and interesting, it makes you keep looking at it to see what it's all about. I have no problem seeing that that's Crowe, especially with the big red Russell Crowe above it, lol, but I'm sure the next one will have his face and maybe others from the cast.
I know a few people who saw an early screening of this movie and they liked it very much, said it was an intelligent thriller and quite 'intense'. Looking forward to it.
There are so few adult suspense films these days and this film looks interesting. Crowe is a favorite actor,great range and interesting interpretations with his characters. The poster isn't the usual thing,it is thoughtful and thought provoking.

Ummm…Crowe's face IS on it.
