'Shame' Poster and Australian Release Date Announced

Shame, the Steve McQueen/Michael Fassbender/Carey Mulligan collaboration that caused plenty of controversy at the Venice Film Festival and wound up winning a Best Actor Award for Fassbender, has been secured a release date in Australia. February 9, 2012. Around that time Fassbender could be vying for an Oscar, too. The film, which I have read, includes copious amounts of sex and nudity (not a surprise considering the main character in a sex-addict) will likely be branded with the R18+ rating. Here is a new promotional poster - U.S citizens get to see it from December 2.

    I like this poster. Even the one for Hunger was pretty minimalistic. Can't wait to see this one.

    It's a great poster isn't it? Working at a cinema and seeing these awful posters day in and day out (floating heads and photoshops etc) it's great to see something minimalistic and intriguing like this. Can't wait for the film.

    I love minimalistic posters. After recently seeing Hunger I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this one.

    Yeah minimalistic posters are great. As soon as I heard McQueen had directed a new film - and stars Fassbender and Mulligan - I was hooked. Though I have read a couple of reviews out of TIFF, so I know a little bit about the film, this is still an intriguing poster.

    I look forward to hearing your thoughts Aziza, should you get to see it!

    Great poster. Very simple, inventive.

    I am very much looking forward to this. But I just don't get the Carey Mulligan love. Why is she in everything. I don't think she's talented or pretty ....

    I HAVE MY INTERNET BACK. Imagine .. a month without a connection.

    Hey, don't talk about Carey Mulligan that way! She's gorgeous :-p

    She's one of my favourites, and I think she is really talented too. An Education, and Never Let Me Go especially. Really looking forward to Shame. I watched a trailer tonight (there is one released) and it looks really sexy!

    Glad to have you back Anna. I can't imagine not having a connection. My idea of Hell haha.
