Dallas Howard's 'Loss of a Teardrop' Poster Debuts
I'm not feeling the awards vibe for this late season entry
Paladin just sent over the poster art for The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, a long-forgotten Tennessee Williams screenplay starring Bryce Dallas Howard as Fisher Willow, the disliked 1920s Memphis debutante daughter of a plantation owner with a distaste for narrow-minded people and a penchant for shocking and insulting those around her.
After returning from studies overseas, Fisher falls in love with Jimmy (Chris Evans), the down-and-out son of an alcoholic father (David Strathairn) and an insane mother who works at a store on her family's plantation. She tries to pass him off as an upper-class suitor to appease the spinster aunt (Ann-Margret) who controls her family's fortune, but when she loses a diamond, it places their tenuous relationship in further jeopardy.
The film hits theaters in New York and Los Angeles on December 30. A slightly larger look at the poster as well as an additional image from the film can be found here.

this might be good!
Hmmmm, looks interesting. Who is the lead, Howard? I'd love for some one to steal the Streep, Sidibe, Mulligan thunder, but I'm not sure how good her performance is, and it would have to be a knock your socks off performance to take it away from Streep and Sidibe.
I think Margret or Burstyn could do it but they might be supporting and Mo'nique already has that on lock.
is it just me or the eyes on howard in the poster look wonky and kinda freaky?
I saw about half of this film at the Chicago Intl Film Festival. It's entertaining (and the audience really seemed to be engaged in it), although I'm not sure it's going to steal any Oscars from anyone. It's easily identifiable as Tennessee Williams, with a headstrong, sometimes reckless heroine brushing up against tradition in the 1920s South. Howard does a very respectable job and Burstyn seems to be enjoying herself as a fading matriarch with a dark secret (it's Tennessee Williams; she's obligated to have a dark secret).
