A new look at another TIFF entry, Joel Schumacher’s Trespass, offers up a new poster and some glossy new stills featuring cast members Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman and Cam Gigandet. (The poster is clearly an ‘artist’s’ rendering of one of the pics below. It may be the worst poster ever.)

The Toronto International Film Fest,  generally the harbinger of quality and often awards-worthy films and the name Joel Schumacher don’t usually go together. The words glossy and slick go with Schumacher. From St. Elmo’s Fire to Lost Boys to Flatliners all the way up through The Phantom of the Opera, there have been a few gems (A Time to Kill is still eminently watchable, Tigerland introduced the world to Colin Farrell, I even liked Veronica Guerin), but there’s also been an awful lot of schlock.

The thing is, Schumacher has an incredible knack for getting A-List talent to sign up for his projects. Nicole Kidman was also in the first of his two Batmans, Batman Forever, there’s also been Cate Blanchett, Julia Roberts (twice), Kevin Spacey, Michael Douglas, Matthew McConaughey, Susan Sarandon, Ciaran Hinds (twice), Colin Farrell (twice), Nicolas Cage (twice).

I pretty much wrote him off after he tried to kill Michael Fassbender’s career with the unwatchable Blood Creek. I heard he tried to do the same thing to Zac Effron with Twelve. So it’s a mystery what he’s doing at TIFF this year. I must admit, however, that I tend to trust their judgment.

Here’s the plot, stop me if you’d heard this before: As they’re held for ransom in their own home, a husband and wife’s predicament grows more dire amid the discovery of betrayal and deception.

We’ll see. Cage supposedly has money problems, but I don’t think Kidman needs the work. There must be something to this, right?

Trespass will open in theaters and premiere on VOD on October 14, 2011.
