VIDEO FLASH: George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, et al. in Ides of March Trailer

Columbia Pictures has released a trailer for The Ides of March, the film based on Beau Willimon’s play Farragut North co-written and directed by George Clooney. The movie will play the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, before a scheduled theatrical release in October.


The film follows a young press spokesman who falls prey to backroom politics, the treacherous manipulations of veteran operatives, and the seduction of a young intern.

In addition to Clooney, the movie stars Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei, Jeffrey Wright, and Evan Rachel Wood.

Farragut North premiered at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2008 and was subsequently seen at the Geffen Playhouse.
