Today we have the trailer and poster for the upcoming George Clooney‘s film The Ides of March that will make its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
The Ides of March is based loosely on the 2004 Democratic primary campaign of Howard Dean, the play focuses on dirty campaign tricks in Des Moines, Iowa, just weeks before the state's Democratic caucuses.
The story takes place during the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, when an up-and-coming campaign press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate's shot at the presidency.
The film is co-written and directed by Clooney and also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei, Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Wright, Max Minghella, and Evan Rachel Wood.
“The Ides of March” is set to hit theaters on October 7th, 2011.
