I still don’t know what to make of Across the Universe. We’ve had images, teasers, trailers and now a poster (see it below), but what the hell is it about again? The official plot synopsis goes something like this:

“An original musical film, Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, the killing fields of Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and painted and three-dimensional animation, the film is paired with many Beatles songs that defined the time.”

I have no idea what that means. I do know almost everything released from the movie looks damn pretty, and using Beatles music is a nice plus. Check out the movie’s brand new poster in high-res by clicking on the image to your right. If you’re interested in the Across the Universe official site, it’s right here.
