Henry’s Crime Poster

The first poster for Henry’s Crime has been released. The independent film, which is being billed as a comedy, starring Keanu Reeves, Oscar nominees James Caan, Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air), Danny Hoch, Fisher Stevens, Peter Stormare, Danny Hoch, and Bill Duke.

Reeves plays a dude named Henry who gets sent to the big house for robbing a bank, a crime for which he is actually innocent. While in the clink, he meets an actual criminal (Caan) and comes up with an almost brilliant plan: since he’s already done the time for robbing the bank, he might as well actually rob it, because, really, who would expect that?

Things get complicated, though, when he gets run over by Farmiga and ends up falling in love while simultaneously taking acting lessons that require him to don a giant fake Lenin-style beard, and…
The film is directed by Malcolm Venville who previously directed 44 Inch Chest,

Henry’s Crime, which was premiered at 2010 Toronto International Film Festival last September, does not carry a release date.

Keanu Reeves: Maybe I'm too nice

Keanu Reeves can identify with his latest 'nice guy' role

Keanu Reeves has admitted to being too nice at times.

The Matrix star plays Henry in his latest film Henry's Crime, who is described as "the nicest guy", which he found easy to relate to.
"He sometimes didn't know how to say no, and I might have been guilty of that - there's lots of examples in my youth. Sometimes you go along and you don't fight for yourself," he said.
"When I work on a role, there's the script and there's me. They kind of come together and they create a different entity," he added.

In Henry's Crime, which Keanu also co-produced, his alter-ego Henry lacks ambitions, drive and purpose until he becomes an unwitting participant in an unsuccessful bank heist and is sent to prison.
"I think I related to him, this man who wants something different, who wants to change his life but doesn't know how. Henry is a funny guy with a good heart, it goes without saying, but I also like his bravery, how he follows his convictions to move forward. I found that, in an odd way, heroic," Keanu said.
:: Henry's Crime is in cinemas from January 14.

A couple of days ago we were the first to post the new trailer for Keanu Reeves’ new movie, Henry’s Crime and today Entertainment Films have sent over the poster. Henry’s Crime is set for release January 14th. We’re lucky enough to be interviewing Keanu next week so if you have any questions you’d like us to try and ask, please feel free to send them through or add them into the comments section below.

Henry’s Crime also also stars Vera Farmiga and James Caan and sees Henry (Reeves) escape from prison to commit the crime that he never committed in the first place!

Have a read of the synopsis below for more info or scroll down to view the poster.

Synopsis: Working the night shift as a toll collector on a lonely stretch of highway in Buffalo, New York, Henry (KEANU REEVES) is a man without ambition, dreams or purpose. He gets his wakeup call early one morning when he becomes an unwitting participant in an ill-conceived bank heist.

Rather than give up the names of the real culprits, Henry takes the fall and goes to jail. There, he meets the irrepressible Max (JAMES CAAN), a con man who’s grown far too comfortable with the familiarity and security of his ‘idyllic’ life behind bars. He’s not about to leave prison. But he helps plant an idea in Henry’s mind that will change his life forever.

Upon his release one year later, Henry finds his purpose. Having done the time, he decides he may as well do the crime. Discovering a long forgotten bootlegger’s tunnel, which runs from the very same bank to a theater across the alleyway, he recruits his reluctant former cellmate to stage a robbery. Their plan is simple: By infiltrating the theater and its current production of “The Cherry Orchard,” the unlikely duo will buy just enough time to dig their way to the bank vault and drive off into the sunset. Unfortunately, that plan also includes Henry taking the lead role in the play, where he finds himself slowly falling for the production’s mercurial leading lady, Julie (VERA FARMIGA).

"Henry's Crime", which was premiered at 2010 Toronto International Film Festival last September, is about to hit U.K. theaters on January 14. In anticipation of the release, the first trailer for the movie has now hit the web to give preview at the funny and romantic story revolving around Keanu Reeves' Henry.

Working as a toll collector, Henry is a man without ambition, dreams or purpose. One day in his life will then change his life forever when he is accused of bank robbery and sent to jail. There, he meets fellow inmate Max who helps plant an idea in Henry's mind about his purpose.

Upon his release one year later, Henry finds that his purpose is to do crime as well. He stages a bank robbery and recruits his reluctant former cellmate. Refusing to do the traditional way that may involve violence, Henry plans to get into the bank through a long forgotten bootlegger's tunnel, which runs from the very same bank to a theater across the alleyway.

Their plan is simple: By infiltrating the theater and its current production of "The Cherry Orchard", the unlikely duo will buy just enough time to dig their way to the bank vault and drive off into the sunset. But the plan is no longer a secret as Henry opens up about it to Julie, a leading lady in the production whom he falls for.

James Caan stars as Henry's partner in crime, while Vera Farmiga portrays Henry's love interest. Directed by Malcolm Venville, the romantic comedy is yet to get U.S. release date.
