New Year, new movie: up next, The Words, which stars Bradley Cooper (who is another actor poised to have a great 2012 with four films currently in some stage of post-production and slated for release), Zoe Saldana, Jeremy Irons, Dennis Quaid and Olivia Wilde. The above is the first poster and below we have some first pics.

The Words, which is scheduled to be the closing film of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival later this month, revolves around Rory (Cooper), a struggling writer who claims another man’s long lost work as his own. Caught up in a dangerous conspiracy, the price he must pay is more than he could have ever imagined.

The trouble starts when Dora, Rory’s wife (Saldana) comes across “a valise” in an antiques shop. The valise contains a “lost masterwork” of a  “Hemingway-esque writer” played by Jeremy Irons.

The Words is both written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal. In addition to being and actor, Klugman, as well as Sternthal have writing credits on Tron: Legacy. The supporting cast includes Ben Barnes, John Hannah, J.K. Simmons, Michael McKean, Zeljko Ivanek, Ron Rifkin, Liz Stauber, Gianpaolo Venuta, and Nora Arnezeder.

After its Sundance debut, the only release dates we have are for Belgium and the Netherlands in December. I’m thinking that will change soon.  I hope so. I’m very interested. We’ll keep you posted.
