Just the thing to take our minds off the political/financial turmoil befalling our country; a politically heavy film about seedy side of the business. Is that a bad thing? Well not if it’s directed by and starring George Clooney it’s not. The story focuses on Ryan Gosling’s character who, as an idealistic staffer for a newbie presidential candidate, gets a crash course on dirty politics during his stint with the campaign staff. Have a look at the trailer via Yahoo…
The Ides of March is a political drama based on Beau Willimon’s play Farragut North. Hopping on this campaign trail are Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright and Marisa Tomei.
Columbia Pictures will being Clooney’s film to theaters this Fall on October 7th, 2011 following its premier at the Venice Film Festival on Aug 31. What do you think? Just how dirty do you like your politics??

The cast is definitely a highlight and if done right, this could go a long way come Oscar time.

Very slick isn’t though! Yeah Gosling for Prez…or after seeing Crazy Stupid Love, more like Gosling for the cover of Men’s Health or GQ:P

The cast alone makes me want to go and see this film. The trailer just confirms it for me.

With the added bonus of Clloney directing. I’m anxious to see him develop his style/skill behind the camera. Thanks for the comment!

Great poster! Their faces side by side are surprisingly symmetrical 🙂 I have a renewed respect for Gosling since watching Half Nelson a few days ago. He really does vary his choice of roles, so it’ll be interesting to see how he utilises this one.
