A trio of seemingly idyllic posters from Never Let Me Go

When I came across these three new posters from Mark Romanek’s (ONE HOUR PHOTO) NEVER LET ME GO, I finally decided to go back and watch the trailer which I’ve missed so far. It tells the tale of three youth who grow up together at a "seemingly idyllic boarding school" who start to fall for each other.

Annnd it looks good, but I think I’ve deduced a lot about the film’s mystery purely based on clues from the trailer. I have not read the book, so this is pure speculation which I do not count as "spoilers."

– The school is isolated and no one is allowed to leave under penalty of violence

– They children are tracked using some sort electronic tech

– They are not to live for any other purpose than the one they are given

– They are require to make "donations" periodically throughout their lives

– They are not expected to live very long

– They are referred to as "poor creatures"

Soooo, this is THE ISLAND in the English countryside? They have to all be clones or specifically bred-for-organs humans right? I just think they might have hinted at too much of the answer in the trailer, but perhaps I’m off track completely, or this isn’t even supposed to be a mystery. If anyone has read the book, feel free to shut the hell up because I don’t want to know if I’m right or not.

Oh yeah, here are the posters with clone love triangle Keira Knightley, Andrew "Spider-man" Garfield and Carey Mulligan. Click through each for hi-res at the Pimpin’ Poster Palace.
