Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal. Directed by Jim Sheridan (In America, In the Name of the Father), Brothers is an English-language remake of Susanne Bier's 2004 film of the same name, and it follows the intricate relationships between a marine, his wife and his fresh-out-of-jail brother.

Maguire plays Sam, a marine who goes missing overseas during his fourth tour of duty. When Sam is assumed dead, his wife Grace (Portman) tries to pull her family back together with help from Sam's black-sheep brother Tommy (Gyllenhaal). One thing leads to another, lines are crossed, and when it's discovered that Sam is actually alive, our marine returns home to a very interesting (and uncomfortable) family dynamic. A very solid trailer for the film just debuted earlier this week and this three-way cast proves they're certainly capable of delivering the goods. I also like how the poster cuts off a quarter of Portman's body, as if that's the part that now belongs to her husband's brother. It's subtle and well done.

Brothers is due out in theaters on December 4. See the full poster by clicking below.

I'm not usually into US military films, but this looks like something I'd go and see :)

Um, what part do you mean? Her ass?

I'm pretty sure, last time I checked, that a woman's body doesn't "belong" to anyone, my friend. Not even a "quarter" of it.

I think they point he was trying to make is that her heart becomes conflicted--torn between 2 people. Which part of her life will she honor? Her past or the possibility of a new and very different future.

I don't doubt that the intention was to refer to her emotions, but that's not what was written. In any case, isn't this what the movie is about? Who this woman "belongs" to?

Whatevs, I just looked at the trailer and it looks terrrrrible, like one step up from a Lifetime movie.

I love the way she is split between the two of them, and the look on Jake's face is pure sadness and desire. So GOOD!
