George Clooney is back in the directors chair for The Monuments Men, and now a new poster for the movie has arrived, shoeing off Clooney alongside co-stars such as Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, and Hugh Bonneville.
There’s no woman in the poster (it is the Monuments Men, after all), but Cate Blanchett also stars.
Heres the synopsis: Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankinds greatest achievements.
Its due out in the US on December 18th, while itll arrive in the UK on January 9th.
