Paramount Vantage has helped pick up this unusually slow week by releasing the first poster for There Will Be Blood.
There Will Be Blood Teaser Poster
A sprawling epic about family, greed, corruption, and the pursuit of the American dream. Set in the booming West coast oil fields at the turn of the 20th century, There Will Be Blood follows the rise of rugged prospector Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) who becomes an independent oilman after hitting it rich with the strike of a lifetime. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film is inspired by Upton Sinclair's novel "Oil!"
I haven't read the book, so am left wondering if there is a reason the poster looks a lot like a bible.
Thanks to 'RonJon', you can check out the poster below:

There Will Be Blood opens to theaters on December 26th.
