The good people over at Warner Bros have recently
released the first poster for the upcoming film Syriana.
Starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Amanda Peet, Max Minghella, Chris McDonald,
Greta Scacchi and Michelle Monaghan, the film brings us a story wrapped
around oil with various plot details all inter-connected.
Syriana Movie Poster
From writer/director Stephen Gaghan, winner of
the Best Screenplay Academy Award for Traffic, comes Syriana,
a political thriller that unfolds against the intrigue of the global oil
industry. From the players brokering back-room deals in Washington to the
men toiling in the oil fields of the Persian Gulf, the film's multiple storylines
weave together to illuminate the human consequences of the fierce pursuit
of wealth and power. As a career CIA operative (George Clooney) begins to
uncover the disturbing truth about the work he has devoted his life to,
an up-and-coming oil broker (Matt Damon) faces an unimaginable family tragedy
and finds redemption in his partnership with an idealistic Gulf prince (Alexander
Siddig). A corporate lawyer (Jeffrey Wright) faces a moral dilemma as he
finesses the questionable merger of two powerful U.S. oil companies, while
across the globe, a disenfranchised Pakistani teenager (Mazhar Munir) falls
prey to the recruiting efforts of a charismatic cleric. Each plays their
small part in the vast and complex system that powers the industry, unaware
of the explosive impact their lives will have upon the world.

I guess this is one of the first ways that Warner Bros is making up for
pushing this film back from July 29th to November 23rd. Considering that
we are far past the originally planned release date, how about a trailer?
Syriana comes to theatres on November 23rd.
