A brand new poster has been revealed for director John Wells’ acclaimed adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY by Tracy Letts. The darkly dysfunctional comic drama features an all-star cast and has been held in high praise following a number of festival screenings. Particularly a stand-out performance from Oscar favourite Meryl Streep. You may want to check out the terrific trailer if you missed it.
Osage County tells the tale of the dysfunctional Westin clan, who all come together after the death of patriarch Beverly Weston (Sam Shepard). His wife Violet (Meryl Streep), who is fighting mouth cancer and a growing dependency on pain pills, sees her entire clan return home for the services, including her sister Mattie Fae Aiken (Margo Martindale) and her husband Charles (Chris Cooper) and their son “Little” Charles (Benedict Cumberbatch). Also arriving are Violet’s three daughters: Barbara (Julia Roberts) and her husband Bill (Ewan McGregor), Ivy (Julianne Nicholson), and wild child Karen (Juliette Lewis), who brings her fiancé Steve (Dermot Mulroney). As the clan bickers and jokes, old truths come to the surface, jealousies flourish, and eventually each of the characters confronts some past hurt or future fear.
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY lands in US cinemas from 8th November and the UK from 17th January 2014. It co-stars Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, Dermot Mulroney, Sam Shepard and Julianne Nicholson.
