Date:

IONCINEMA.com Top 100 Films

#17. Rampart

Director/Writer: Oren Moverman
Producers: Ben Foster, Lawrence Inglee and Clark Peterson
Distributor: Rights Available.

Cast: Ben Foster, Steve Buscemi, Sigourney Weaver, Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Anne Heche and Robin Wright

Release Date/Status?: Well into post production, this looks like a logical fit for a Fall festival season, however, actor/producer recently told ThePlaylist that the are looking towards a 2012 release.
