Fox Searchlight just sent us the theatrical one-sheet for the Keanu Reeves crime-thriller Street Kings (formerly titled The Night Watchman). Earlier in the week we posted the movie trailer, which can be viewed here. Check out the full poster after the jump. Click on the image to enlarge.
The movie trailer for Fox Searchlight’s Keanu Reeves crime-thriller Street Kings (formerly titled The Night Watchman) has hit the web.
Street Kings stars Keanu Reeves as Tom Ludlow, a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he’s been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him. The film also stars Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans, Naomie Harris, Jay Mohr, John Corbett, Cedric the Entertainer, Amaury Nolasco, Terry Crews, Common and The Game. Watch the trailer below.
Definitely not Training Day, or even Harsh Times, Street Kings looks like a typical crime thriller, with the same overused themes we’ve come to expect from David Ayer.
Watch the trailer in High Definition on Yahoo! Movies. Street Kings hits theaters on April 11th 2008.
A couple days ago we told you how Fox Searchlight had decided to rename The Night Watchman into Street Kings, possibly due to the upcoming Watchmen comic book to movie adaptation. A few days later these production stills mysteriously showed up in our e-mail box.
Here is your first look at Street Kings, which stars Keanu Reeves as Tom Ludlow, “a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he’s been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.” As always, click on the images to enlarge.Â

After months and months of people not in the know asking me “Is Keanu Reeves in Watchmen?”, Fox Searchlight Pictures has finally realized their upcoming film The Night Watchman posed a marketing challenge which was sure to create confusion in consumers, especially with buzz growing for the Warner Bros/Zack Snyder adaptation of Alan Moore’s epic superhero tale Watchmen. So Searchlight have decided to do the right thing and rename the film “Street Kings”. Besides, I’m pretty sure that the script for The Night Watchman was penned way after the Moore graphic novel was available in book stores. Although it should be noted that the film is based on a story by James Ellroy. I do remember this film floating around the development ponds for a few years now, once attached to Spike Lee, than Oliver Stone in 2005.
