The Best Poster of the Year
Normally I save this kind of thing for "The Blog," but Fox Searchlight has released the one-sheet for Kevin Macdonald's "The Last King of Scotland," and it is the most striking, the least derivative poster released all year. Take a look:
This film has all the makings of a major Oscar player, one that most prognosticators are looking over in favor of Fox's lighter efforts, "Little Miss Sunshine" and the upcoming "A Good Year" and "The History Boys." But the story lurking in "Last King" has the gravitas to actually say something on a global stage. Most of the insularity of last year's Oscars may certainly be combatted this time around by stuff like this.
"The Last King of Scotland," written by Giles Foden, will be the subject of Monday, August 14th's "Page to Screen" column.

Whoa. Has a very "1984"-Big Brother/Vladimir Lenin vibe.
