Poster and trailer for ‘First Snow’ with Guy Pearce

First SnowThe two actor credits listed on the poster for 'First Snow' are enough to put it on my 'must watch' list. Guy Pearce is always great (in a creepy too-many-bones-in-his-face kind of way), and If you saw 'The Proposition' you'll know what I'm talking about. Piper Perabo, the other name, is an actress with a lot of crap on her CV (including something called 'Knuckleface Jones'.. which I need to see) but has turned out some good performances even when the films weren't quite up to scratch.

Here's the plot synopsis:

Wound tight and cocky, Jimmy Starks (Guy Pearce) is a smooth-talking salesman certain he’s on the verge of a big break. Even when his car stalls in the middle of nowhere, a roadside soothsayer (J.K. Simmons) assures him a windfall is on its way. But although Jimmy should be happy when his boss suddenly agrees to financially back his business venture, he starts to become paranoid instead.

As his girlfriend Deirdre (Piper Perabo) and his best friend/ business partner Ed (William Fichtner) watch him slowly come unwound, Jimmy wonders if a past betrayal of his friend, newly paroled Vince (Shea Whigham), could be catching up to him. And, as the weather turns cold, Jimmy can’t help but fear the mysterious seer’s other prediction . . . that they’ll be no tomorrow after the first snow.

Seems interesting enough, and with Pearce on board it will be at-worst watchable, but I'll be keeping my eye on it and post anything new as it arises.
