The poster for The Bounty Hunter, the action comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, has gone online over at Yahoo! Movies, and it’s… intriguing.
The central image of Butler, who plays a bounty hunter forced to transport his ex-wife across country, and Aniston handcuffed together instantly brings to mind classic mismatched-or-handcuffed couples road movies of the past, such as It Happened One Night, **Midnight Run **and, erm, Fled, even if it’s a little static.
The splashes of blood on the beleaguered Butler’s shirt also could be a hint that this won’t be the play-safe, happy-go-lucky, PG-13 comedy we were expecting, but perhaps a harder-edged, swearier, violence-flecked effort. Which would seem unlikely coming from Andy Tennant, director of Hitch, especially giving the hugely perky day-glo font. (Yes, we’re the font police)

So we’re no closer to figuring out what sort of movie this could be. However, Butler and Aniston should make an appealingly sparky couple, so let’s focus on that for the time being.
