Crazy Heart poster

The buzz from CRAZY HEART is that this might get Jeff Bridges the Oscar he deserves.

I might sound delusional but I could have swore I saw a trailer for this movie, even though there is no trace of one online. The story is adapted from the book of the same name by Thomas Cobb. Bridges plays country singer Bad Blake whose life actually echos the music that he plays. Blake’s had several bad marriages, too many drinks, and has done a lot of hard living. When Blake meets Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist, she makes him want to turn his life around and be a better man.

The tag line suits it perfectly, “The harder the life, the sweeter the song”. I really love this poster. It’s a little dark, rustic, and sentimental. Almost perfect for an album cover. The film will be in limited release December 16th.
