EXCLUSIVE: 'The Secret Life of Bees' Poster Premiere!
Filed under: Drama, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Posters
Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for The Secret Life of Bees (click above image to enlarge), based on Sue Monk Kidd's best-selling coming-of-age novel. And talk about an all-star cast of top-notch female talent, Bees stars Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Dakota Fanning, Alicia Keys and Sophee Okonedo. The film, which is set in South Carolina in 1964, follows two friends (Fanning and Latifah) who run away from home in order to solve the mystery surrounding one of their mothers. Eventually, the three Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Keys and Okonedo) take the two girls in and teach them how to care for and raise bees. The book itself has a ton of fans, and I expect the film -- especially with this cast -- to win over a slew of new ones as well.
The Secret Life of Bees buzzes into theaters on October 17.
1. It's a perfect poster! I haven't read the book yet, but I love the the cast so much that I can't wait for the movie.
