Killer Joe stars Matthew McConaughey (The Lincoln Lawyer) and Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) in the title roles with a strong supporting cast including Juno Temple (upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, Dirty Girl), Thomas Haden Church (Sideways) and Gina Gershon (Bound). The film was directed by renowned Oscar-winning director, William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection) with a script by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright, Tracy Letts. This marks the second time Friedkin and Letts have collaborated together, the first time being for the 2006 film, Bug (both films were adapted from Letts' stage plays by the same name). Bug won the FIPRESCI prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006.
When 22 year old drug dealer Chris (Hirsch) has his stash stolen by his mother, he has to come up with six thousand dollars quick or he's dead. Desperate, he turns to Killer Joe (McConaughey) when he finds out that his mother's life insurance policy is worth $50,000. Although Joe usually demands cash up front, he finds himself willing to bend the rules in exchange for Chris' attractive younger sister, Dottie (Temple), who will serve as sexual collateral until the money comes in...if it ever does.
Killer Joe comes to theaters July 27th, 2012 and stars Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Thomas Haden Church, Gina Gershon, Juno Temple, Marc Macaulay, Scott A. Martin, Lori Eden. The film is directed by William Friedkin.

The third picture looks just like the Lincoln Lawyer poster. It must be in McConaugheys contracts to have a photo/poster surface online of him doing that face, and looking to the right
