TIFF Breakout “Hotel Mumbai” Gets Official Poster

Almost everyone who attended the premiere of Hotel Mumbai at the Toronto International Film Festival this past September walked away in pure amazement. Thankfully, those of us that had the luxury of watching the film that night don’t have to keep quiet for much longer as the Anthony Maras thriller is set to hit theaters in March.

But in the meantime, as a somewhat tease, Bleeker Street and ShivHans have just released an official poster for the film. Though hardly revolutionary in style or content, the poster does successfully convey the story of the film - though simplifying it dramatically.

Hotel Mumbai tells the true story of the attendees inside the Taj Hotel in Mumbai who made unthinkable sacrifices during a 2008 terrorist attack that saw a slew of gunman deliberately make their way throughout the hotel, wrecking terror on any and all those they came across.

Dev Patel, Armie Hammer, Nazanin Boniadi, and Jason Isaacs star in the film, which will hit theaters on March 22.

About Stephen Davis

I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
