Harold Ramis‘ ensemble heist comedy "The Ice Harvest" doesn’t hit the screens for a few months, but fans of John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Oliver Platt, Connie Nielsen, and Randy Quaid might want to check the (WMP) trailer out right here.
Focus Features contributes a general plot synopsis: "A wickedly funny thriller that takes moviegoers on a wild ride brimming with larceny, lust and lethal behavior. In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it’s Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard. But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata, who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie’s drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie’s Christmas stocking – and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises."
Based on the novel by Scott Phillips, and adapted for the screen by Robert Benton ("Superman") and Richard Russo ("Twilight"), "Ice Harvest" marks Ramis’ first flick since 2002’s "Analyze That."
"The Ice Harvest" slides onto screens on November 23rd.
