Ms. Kate Beckinsale has been spending a lot of time in the snow lately, with her two upcoming movies featuring some very snowy posters. Kate’s Whiteout poster shows her all bundled up in the Alaskan wilderness. The new poster for Snow Angels, costarring Sam Rockwell, shows Kate & friend in a very snowy scene as well.
This is a story that brings in the spotlight two troubled families and a bunch of troubled people. Annie (Kate Beckinsale) is a single mother working hard at the local chinese restaurant to cope after separating with her alcoholic husband Glenn (Sam Rockwell). Meanwhile he lays off the bottle through religion’s path and tries to re-establish himself in Annie and their girl’s life as a responsible male figure but constantly fails to make amends. Alongside Annie works Arthur (Michael Angarano), a teenager with a harmless crash on her since she was his babysitter some years ago and Barb (Amy Sedaris), a married woman with a hot temper. While Arthur’s father Don is leaving the house on grounds of a possible broken marriage, Annie seeks warmth and sexual satisfaction in the arms of Barb’s husband Nate.
The boy watches all that as he gradually falls in love with his newfound sweetheart, the adorable Lila (Olivia Thirlby), naturally rewriting relationship history from the beginning. When a crisis bursts that has the whole town on it’s feet the time comes for tensions to climax…
Snow Angels comes out in Limited Release on March 7th, 2008. (Whiteout has a vague 2008 release date.)
