Only yesterday had we been alerted to the dark
and twisted movie trailer for the upcoming film The
Libertine starring Johnny
Depp. Today The Weinstein Company has finally sent over the
full official movie poster for the film.
Libertine Movie Poster
Johnny Depp stars in The Libertine as
the scandalously decadent John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester. The
film follows the Earl's adventures in London, from his passionate romance
with a young actress, Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton), to the writing
of a scurrilous play which blisteringly and bawdily lampoons the very monarch
who commissioned it, Charles II (John Malkovich), leading to the Earl's
banishment and eventual downfall.
The Libertine
Laurence Dunmore makes an assured directorial debut, creating a period atmosphere
that combines the dark debauched underbelly of London with the allure and
glamour of the Restoration court.
