A24 have just released a great new ‘character profile’ poster and featurette for their upcoming release, A MOST VIOLENT YEAR – which is 1981 FYI. The film stars current Hollywood hot properties Oscar Isaac (STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS) and Jessica Chastain, who is currently appearing in the international hit INTERSTELLAR. We have the new poster and featurette for A MOST VIOLENT YEAR below, but first, the official synopsis.
A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. From acclaimed writer/director J.C. Chandor, and starring Oscar Isaac (INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS) and Jessica Chastain (ZERO DARK THIRTY), this gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay.
J.C. Chandor’s third feature examines one immigrant’s determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, family, and – above all – his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path. With A MOST VIOLENT YEAR, Chandor journeys in a bold new direction, toward the place where best intentions yield to raw instinct, and where we are most vulnerable to compromise what we know to be right.
Watch the featurette and see the new poster below. A MOST VIOLENT YEAR release in the US in selected cinemas from 31st December, 2014 (it will expand wider in January), and the UK on the 23rd January, 2015.
