There are a couple of weeks to go until Woody Allen returns to the director's chair with new film Irrational Man and the brand new quad poster for the film has arrived.
Irrational Man
As well as being in the directors chair, Allen has also penned the screenplay and has assembled a terrific cast list.
Irrational Man will see Allen team up with Joaquin Phoenix for the first time and it is the Oscar nominated actor that takes centre stage in this great new poster.
It may be the first time that Allen has worked with Phoenix, but it will see the director reunite with Emma Stone. The pair worked together last year on Magic in the Moonlight and it is great to see them working together once again.
Jamie Blackley and Parker Posey are also on board and will star alongside Phoenix and Stone.
Irrational Man is about a tormented philosophy professor who finds a will to live when he commits an existential act. Philosophy professor Abe Lucas (Phoenix) is at rock bottom emotionally, unable to find any meaning or joy in life. Abe feels that everything he's tried to do, from political activism to teaching, hasn't made any difference.
Soon after arriving to teach at a small town college, Abe gets involved with two women: Rita Richards (Posey), a lonely professor who wants him to rescue her from her unhappy marriage; and Jill Pollard (Stone), his best student, who becomes his closest friend. While Jill loves her boyfriend Roy (Blackley), she finds Abe's tortured, artistic personality and exotic past irresistible. Even as Abe displays signs of mental imbalance, Jill's fascination with him only grows. Still, when she tries to make their relationship a romantic one, he rebuffs her.
Pure chance changes everything when Abe and Jill overhear a stranger's conversation and become drawn in. Once Abe makes a profound choice, he is able to embrace life to the fullest again. But his decision sets off a chain of events that will affect him, Jill and Rita forever.
Irrational Man is released 11th September.
