Ralph Fiennes Looks Deep Into Gerard Butler’s Eyes In This Poster For CORIOLANUS

Staring contest is nothing unusual in movie posters. Hollywood Reporter has this one-sheet for CORIOLANUS (check out the trailer) starring Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler with their faces painted, I wonder what running through their minds..

In the film, Caius Martius ‘Coriolanus’ (Fiennes), a revered and feared Roman General is at odds with the city of Rome and his fellow citizens. Pushed by his controlling and ambitious mother Volumnia (Redgrave) to seek the exalted and powerful position of Consul, he is loath to ingratiate himself with the masses whose votes he needs in order to secure the office. When the public refuses to support him, Coriolanus’s anger prompts a riot that culminates in his expulsion from Rome. The banished hero then allies himself with his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Butler) to take his revenge on the city.

CORIOLANUS opens December 2nd, 2011
