First Look At The Official Poster And Fresh Stills From Pen-Ek's HEADSHOT

Fresh off its announcement as part of the Vanguard lineup at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, ScreenAnarchy has a batch of new stills plus the first look at the official poster for Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's Headshot.

Widely hailed as the return to the sort of smart, genre oriented fare that marked his early career, Headshot is a character driven crime noir from the director of Last Life In The Universe, Invisible Waves and Ploy.

Present-day Thailand is rife with corruption. Tul, a straight-laced cop, is blackmailed by a powerful politician and framed from a crime he did not commit. Disillusioned and vengeful, he is soon recruited to become a hitman for a shadowy group aimed at eliminating those who are above the law. But one day, Tul is shot in the head during an assignment. He wakes up after a three-month coma to find that he sees everything upside down, literally. Unaware of whether the condition is medical or a result of karmic retribution, Tul begins to have second thoughts about his profession. But when he tries to quit, roles are reversed and the hunter becomes the hunted. Then he meets a girl that turns his world even more upside down. Can Tul find redemption from the violence that continues to haunt him?
 
From the director of 6ixtynin9 and Last Life in the Universe comes a crime noir about a man trying to forget his past but his past - and karma - won't forget him. Adapted from the novel "Fon Tok Kuen Fa" (Rain Falling up the Sky) by award-winning writer Win Lyovarin.
We're hopeful to see a trailer on this one soon but, in the meantime, check the new stills in the gallery below.
