Producer Guillermo del Toro’s Antlers snares new poster & R-rating

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Producer Guillermo del Toro and director Scott Cooper's horror-thriller ANTLERS with Keri Russell is near the top of my must-see list. I've read the short story that inspired the film (and you can too right HERE) and I can't wait to see how the filmmakers bring the creepy images to the screen. 

And today we have a tease of what's to come via a new poster that confirms the movie is rated R for “violence including gruesome images and for language.” Check out the new poster below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think!

ANTLERS stars Keri Russell (STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER), Jesse Plemons (FARGO), Jeremy T. Thomas (LORE), Graham Greene (WIND RIVER), Scott Haze (VENOM), Rory Cochrane (WHITE BOY RICK) and Amy Madigan (FIELD OF DREAMS) and centers on:

A small-town Oregon teacher (Keri Russell) and her brother (Jesse Plemons), the local sheriff, become entwined with a young student (Jeremy T. Thomas) harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences.

Directed by Scott Cooper (BLACK MASS), the film is written by Henry Chaisson (OPEN 24 HOURS) & Nick Antosca (CHANNEL ZERO) with revisions by Scott Cooper. The film’s producers are Guillermo del Toro (THE SHAPE OF WATER), J. Miles Dale (THE SHAPE OF WATER), David S. Goyer (BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE), and Kevin Turen (99 HOMES) serving as executive producer. It hits theaters on April 17, 2020.

Again, I've read the short story and I have to say that the only aspect of the tale that rubbed me the wrong way was that it was too damn SHORT. Thank God, Del Toro and company felt the same way, am I right? Read the short story, then make sure to come back and tell me what you thought.
