Summit Entertainment has released the first poster for its upcoming film The Ghost Writer, a thriller based on the 2007 thriller The Ghost by Robert Harris. Directed by Roman Polanski, the screenplay was co-written by Polanski and Harris.
The movie tells the story of a former British Prime Minister, Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan), who is holed up on an island off the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. in midwinter, writing his memoirs. When his long-standing aide drowns, a professional ghost writer (Ewan McGregor) is sent out to help him finish the book. The anonymous ghost writer is quickly drawn into a political and sexual intrigue involving Lang's wife, Ruth (Olivia Williams) and his aide (Kim Cattrall). Hanging over Lang is the threat of a war crimes trial and a mysterious secret from his past that threatens to jeopardize international relations. The cast also includes Jim Belushi, Robert Pugh and Tom Wilkinson. Alexandre Desplat scored the film.
The Ghost Writer opens in the US (limited released) on February 19th. Watch the international trailer for The Ghost Writer (in English with French subtitles) below:
