Check out this really detailed Synosis for Heartless (caution: Potentially spoilery). Thanks to Johnny for the heads up!

He lives with his mother, Marion, in the East End of London - in an area notorious for its violent hooded gangs. The news reports say that the gangs are now wearing demon masks.

ComingSoon.net has your first look at the insanely awesome teaser poster for Heartless! The movie begins principal photography in London and The Isle of Man on June 8th, 2008. I can’t wait for this one!
Heartless centers on a young man (Sturgess) who is tricked into a deal with a demon and then must fight to save his soul. Framestore-CFC who recently won both the OSCAR and the BAFTA for their VFX in The Golden Compass, will design the mythical creatures that appear in the movie.
Jim gave an interview to Empire Online the day of the Heartless photocall. You can stream it here. He and Clémence Poésy talk all about Heartless in it, Jim mentions the Spider-Man musical once again as well. I’ve made captures for the gallery.
Also, as reported earlier, I told you Fifty Dead Men Walking was being marketed at Cannes and the other day we have learned the film has gotten a distribution deal with company Handmade. The agreements states it will have major theatrical distributors throughout the world so hopefully this means the film will not only premiere in the UK later this year but other countries as well. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
