New Trailer "Stone"

Overture Films has released the official trailer for Stone Starring Robert DeNiro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich. John Curran directs with a script by playwright Angus MacLachlan.

"As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both. Stone skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin. The film’s superb ensemble features Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) as Lucetta, Stone’s sexy, casually amoral wife, and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Madylyn, Jack’s devout, long-suffering spouse.

Set against the quiet desperation of economically ravaged suburban Detroit and the stifling brutality of a maximum security prison, this tale of passion, betrayal and corruption examines the fractured lives of two volatile men breaking from their troubled pasts to face uncertain futures.”

It's not very often you get to see a film with two actors of this caliber in something that actually looks this good. Almost always it's something that sounds better on paper than it translates to film, a great example was DeNiro and Pacino in Righteous Kill. At any rate this looks like an amazing performance from both DeNiro and Norton, lets just hope they deliver.
