PL via EW: First Official Look At George Clooney's 'Monuments Men' Plus New Pics From 'American Hustle' & 'Desolation Of Smaug'
First up, George Clooney's ensemble WWII caper flick now has a first image, and yeah, we were already sold when we learned Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville andJohn Goodman were going to be in it. The rest of just icing, but that icing is a pretty remarkable true story.
Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.
