Having previously brought you the first image and trailer for George Clooney’s latest directorial effort, fascinating historical wartime drama THE MONUMENTS MEN, we thought it only right to bring you the first poster too. The film is being touted a a top contender for the upcoming awards season. It tells the true-life actions of a group of art specialists chosen by the U.S. government to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis during World War II, and is based on the same-titled novel by Robert M. Edsel.
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 mankind’s greatest achievements.
THE MONUMENTS MEN is released in the US from 18th December, while us Brits will have to wait until 9th January, 2014. Joining Clooney in the cast are Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban and Hugh Bonneville.
