French distributors Mars Distribution have released a trailer for Guillaume Canet's (Tell No One, Little White Lies) latest film Blood Ties (2013), starring Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard, James Caan, Billy Crudup, and Mila Kunis. The film, which is based on a script by Canet and James Gray (The Yards, We Own the Night), was screened in the Out of Competition section of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Official synopsis: New York, 1974. Fifty year-old Chris has just been released on good behavior after several years in prison following a gangland murder. Waiting for him reluctantly outside the prison gates is his younger brother, Frank, a cop with a bright future. Chris and Frank have always been different, and their father, Leon, who'd raised them alone, seems strangely to prefer Chris - this, despite all his troubles. Yet blood ties are the ones that bind. Frank, hoping that his brother has changed, is willing to give him a chance; he shares his home, finds him a job, and helps him reconnect with his children and his ex-wife, Monica. But Chris' past quickly catches up to him, and his descent back into a life of crime becomes inevitable.
