'Ain't Them Bodies Saints' Teaser Poster Debut

David Lowery's film Ain't Them Bodies Saints was one of the best films of this year's Sundance Film Festival. IFC will bring it to theaters in August, and the film is screening in Cannes this weekend. Along with that screening we've got a new teaser poster for the film, painted by the director's brother.

The poster, by Benjamin Lowery, shows the film's central couple, Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck) and Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara). They live together as outlaws, but Bob takes the blame for one of Ruth's actions during a shootout with cops and goes to prison. Four years later, Bob escapes and makes his way back to Ruth and their daughter.

Ben Foster and Keith Carradine also star, but for right now we'll keep the focus on Bob and Ruth, with Ruth rightly taking prominence on the poster. See the image after the break.Aint Them Bodies Saints opens on August 16, and hits VOD on August 19. It also features Nate Parker, Rami Malek, Kennadie Smith, Jacklynn Smith, Robert Longstreet, Charles Baker, Augustine Frizzell, Kentucker Audley, and David Zellner.

Set against the backdrop of 1970's Texas Hill Country, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS is a romantic American story that follows three characters on various sides of the law – outlaw Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck), his wife Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara), and a local sheriff named Patrick Wheeler (Ben Foster), who gets caught in their crosshairs.  The film, which is the second feature from writer-director David Lowery, was developed at the Sundance Institute's Writing and Producing Labs and also stars Nate Parker and Keith Carradine. The film received the U.S. Dramatic Cinematography Award at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
