New Poster for Thriller Meeting Evil

A new poster for the thriller Meeting Evil has been released (right; click for larger version).

Adapted from the 1992 novel of the same title by Thomas Berger, the film stars Luke Wilson as John Felton, who (in the book) meets evil late one Monday morning when the doorbell rings. Standing on the front porch is a stranger. He wears expensive running shoes and a baseball cap and calls himself Richie (Samuel L. Jackson). He tells John his car has stalled and asks for help. An altercation at the gas station leads to a shocking crime as violence begets violence. At the end of this harrowing day, John returns home to find Richie ensconced in his living room, chatting up his wife. The evil has somehow seeped into his life. Thus begins the transformation of an unremarkable husband and father of two into a desperate man willing to go to any length to protect his family from the darkness that threatens them.

Directed by Chris Fisher from his adapted screenplay, Meeting Evil opens in limited release on May 4th, 2012.
