CHICAGO – The publicist for “My Blueberry Nights” with Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Norah Jones and David Strathairn just sent us the poster art for the new film, which will open in limited U.S. theaters on April 4, 2008.
Our Chicago publicists have informed us that the film will open in the Windy City on April 18, 2008. The new poster is below. You can click it to view the image in insanely high resolution. The synopsis for the film follows the poster.
In Wong Kar Wai’s debut English-language feature, the internationally acclaimed director takes his audience on a dramatic journey across the distance between heartbreak and a new beginning.
After a rough break-up, Elizabeth (played by songstress Norah Jones in her screen debut) sets out on a journey across America and leaves behind a life of memories, a dream and a soulful new friend - a café owner (Jude Law) - all while in search of something to mend her broken heart.
Waitressing her way through the country, Elizabeth befriends others whose yearnings are greater than hers including a troubled cop (David Strathairn) and his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz) along with a down-on-her-luck gambler (Natalie Portman) with a score to settle.
Through these individuals, Elizabeth witnesses the true depths of loneliness and emptiness and begins to understand that her own journey is part of a greater exploration within herself.

I can’t WAIT to see this
I can’t WAIT to see this film!! I saw a trailer for it online and fell in love. If the film is as good as the soundtrack, it will be amazing!
