Sandra Bullock’s ‘Our Brand Is Crisis’ Gets a Poster and a Trailer

Debuting just ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, David Gordon Green’s comedy/drama Our Brand Is Crisis gives us Academy Award winners Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) and Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade) as crisis-managing political strategists in a story loosely based on the 2002 Bolivian presidential election and documented in the non-fiction feature of the same name in 2005 by Rachel Boynton. The film also stars Ann Dowd (HBO’s The Leftovers), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) and Joaquim de Almeida (Fast Five, Clear and Present Danger) in a scene-stealing role as one of the presidential candidates.

I have to say I really love the cheekiness of a tagline like ‘May the best campaign win’ right at the start of the Oscar season.

Our Brand Is Crisis was produced by the Oscar-winning duo George Clooney and Grant Heslov (Argo) along with Smoke House Pictures. Warner Bros. will be releasing the film, which was co-financed by Participant Media. The film will be released October 30, 2015.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
