Starring Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet, the film follows a young man who begins a long, obsessive affair with Hanna, an enigmatic older woman who hides a dark secret.

The second poster (via Joblo) is for Ken Kwapis' latest comedy "He's Just Not That Into You," starring Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck and others.
