Now that Clint Eastwood's second war film, Letters from Iwo Jima, has been pushed into Oscar contention, Warner Bros has only got a month to get the marketing machine going. To start us off, we have received a combo poster for Iwo Jima that gives us a nice look at the pretty yet deadly island.
Sure, it's still a combo, but it's a start.
Movie Poster: Letters from Iwo Jima
Sixty-one years ago, U.S. and Japanese armies met on Iwo Jima. Decades later, several hundred letters are unearthed from that stark island's soil. The letters give faces and voices to the men who fought there, as well as the extraordinary general who led them, Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe). With little defense other than sheer will and the volcanic rock of the island itself, Gen. Kuribayashi's unprecedented tactics transform what was predicted to be a quick and bloody defeat into nearly 40 days of heroic and resourceful combat.
Below is an international combo poster for Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers.

With a little over twenty days to go before the film's limited release, expect quite a few updates from Warner Bros. over the next few weeks.
Letters from Iwo Jima opens to theatres on December 20th.
