It’s been seven years since the critically acclaimed Sideways, and while director Alexander Payne has been attached to all manner of project since then, he’s had difficulty getting one off the ground. However he’s now back with The Descendants, starring Geroge Clooney, which is currently due out in the UK January 20th, 2012. While that’s a few months away, the first trailer and poster for the film have arrived, which you can see above and below. Clooney stars as an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-establish his relationship with his daughters after his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki.
