Description: Los Angeles, 1999 - Officer Dave Brown (Harrelson) is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts making less and less sense. In the end, what is left is a human being stripped of all his pretense, machismo, chauvinism, arrogance, sexism, homophobia, racism, aggression, misanthropy; but is it enough to redeem him as a man?

Word on the street is that Oren Moverman‘s Rampart is pretty damned good. It stars Woody Harrelson as an LAPD cop in the wake of the Rampart scandal in the 1990s. It also features Ice Cube, who doesn't at all still represent the LA of the early 1990s. The thing is, even if the movie were terrible, this poster would still be awesome. It looks absolutely stunning, and we're giving one away. Plus, one (1) lucky winner will get a Harrelson-signed script to go with their new wall art. How do you enter? Excellent rhetorical question! Here's how: Head down to the comments section and tell us what your favorite cop movie of all time is. We'll choose a winner randomly from all the entries. Contest will be closed on 5/15, so get ‘em in. And good luck. Try not to beat anyone to a pulp while you're entering. The movie is currently out digitally over at iTunes and Amazon, and the real-life DVD hits on May 15th.

The cast for Out of the Furnace just keeps getting better and better. Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Sam Shepard and Zoe Saldana are all set to star in Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper’s crime drama, and now Variety reports that Woody Harrelson is in talks for the villain role. The film centers on Russell Baze (Bale), who is released after serving four years in prison only to find that his younger brother, Rodney Baze Jr. (Affleck) has been brutally murdered. He sets out to avenge the death and track down the killer. Billy Bob Thornton had previously been circling the villain role, but I’m beyond thrilled to see Harrelson play the baddie. He earned raves for his morally blurred turn in last year’s Rampart, and it should be fun to see him go toe-to-toe with Bale. Production on the film begins later this month in Pennsylvania. Harrelson recently wrapped the heist pic Now You See Me (Read More)

He'll threaten Christian Bale Billy Bob Thornton was in talks to take the main villain role in Scott Coopers Out Of The Furnace , but it now appears that hes dropped out of contention. Still, never fear: Woody Harrelson is looking at picking up the criminal mantle. Assuming he locks in a deal, Harrelson will play Curtis DeGroat, the leader of a violent crime ring who lures Casey Affleck into his dangerous web. Something very bad happens to poor Casey and Afflecks on-screen brother, played by Christian Bale, swears revenge. He is temporarily delayed by the small matter of being in pokey, but once he gets out of prison, Bale decides to make good on his promise. Zoe Saldana is locked in to play the love of Bales life and Sam Shepard will be his uncle. Forest Whitaker is even now working out a contract to play a sleazy bookie involved in Afflecks death.
