Poster for "August: Osage County" revealed

The first poster for August: Osage County was released yesterday afternoon.  Have a look:


I was a little unsure what I thought about it at first.  I was sort of expecting them to possibly use a real still of the house rather than the more abstract "dollhouse" image.  But I think the way it's represented is smart.  Like a pressure cooker with it's top finally blown off from the tumult of the Weston family, the cast members names steam out of the house one by one.   Meryl of course receives top billing. 

It's nice to finally get a little bit of promotional activity about this film.  We can hopefully expect a few production stills within the next month or two, followed ultimately by a highly anticipated trailer which I imagine will be released no later than July.  Let the advertising onslaught commence.

  1. I cannot wait for this trailer. These promos for films have improved so much since the old clips of yesteryear imo.
    The trailers for many of Meryl's older films weren't really what they could have been but I guess that was the style..

    1. There's going to be plenty of money and attention put into the marketing and award campaigning for this film. It's one of Harvey Weinstein's babies this year. Super excited for the trailer as well!

  3. There is a second teaser poster. It is a table setting with all the casts names on the plates and Meryl's plate is the only one shattered and the tag line is "Misery is served."

    1. I saw that from someone on the imdb thread, but I couldn't find any articles about it. Possibly a fan-made poster???
