With its release already less than a month away, Ben Affleck’s sophomore directorial effect “The Town” has unveiled its first impressive U.S. poster after a busy French one hit the net last week.
Based on Chuck Hogan’s novel “Prince Of Thieves,” the film follows the story of a bank robber, his criminal endeavors and the love triangle he finds himself in with a bank teller and the FBI agent on his trail, respectively played by Affleck himself, Rebecca Hall and Jon Hamm.
Co-starring in the film are Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Chris Cooper and Pete Postlewaite in what is shaping up to be intense, dramatic thriller. The trailer itself looked pretty damn great and we think this could be a dark horse for awards season contention especially on the back of Affleck’s strong debut feature “Gone Baby Gone” and the talent involved.
“The Town” premieres at the Venice Film Festival before hitting theaters on September 10th stateside. [Apple]
