New Release Date and Theatrical Poster for August Rush

The release date for August Rush has been put back from October 19th to Wednesday, November 21st. The film will now be up against the Coen Brothers’ ‘No Country for Old Men’, Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘There Will Be Blood’, the new Jon Heder comedy ‘Mama’s Boy’, and the Frank Darabont adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘The Mist’. That’s some stiff competition!

It doesn’t seem like a wise move from Warner Bros’ and it leaves us wondering why the decision was made and what went on behind the scenes. The new theatrical poster has been released and I must say it captures the essence of the film perfectly.

August Rush is a music-driven drama. A young Irish guitarist (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) have a chance to encounter one magical night above New York’s Washington Square. The couple are soon torn apart leaving an infant, orphaned by circumstance, in their wake.

Years later, performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams) who gives him the name August Rush, the child uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth with.
