Harrison Ford Gets Younger in 'Crossing Over' Poster

DateSunday, February 1, 2009 at 2:50PM
The poster for Crossing Over has been released, and there's one thing I really like about and a couple things I don't. The movie comes from director Wayne Kramer, whose Running Scared was not really a hit, although it certainly had a few interesting scenes.

Something about that (and his previous film, The Cooler) has made him an in-demand director, because he's grabbed Harrison Ford, Jim Sturgess, and Ashley Judd for Crossing Over, not to mention a certain current Best Actor nominee who is going unbilled, although his stunt double gets credit.

Because this is a drama about immigration, I think the freeways representing the waving U.S. flag is a great touch, although if you're not sure what the movie's about, it does look a little messy. But one of my sore spots on movie posters is overly aggressive Photoshopping, and man, does Harry Ford look refreshed. But I don't even recognize Ashley Judd. That might just be that she's covered up by Ford's gloriously retouched face.

Crossing Over arrives in theaters on February 27th.

Running Scared is hugely popular on DVD. I read somewhere that it's done over 50 million in DVD sales/rentals. It's definitely a cult action film with the under 30 crowd. Kramer is a rising star with that audience. And it looks like he's taking over the Lethal Weapon re-do franchise for Joel Silver with Fully Automatic.

I had no idea the film did that well on DVD. I thought it had a lot of interesting ideas, but lacked the focus to put them all together. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it.
