Fox Searchlight is on fire today -- they've been lighting up the Reject HQ red phone. First, they sent us details on the highly anticipated release Gentlemen Broncos, and now we've got a first look at the poster for another upcoming film, Amelia, starring Hilary Swank as Amelia Earhart. Not much to say here, except that it has a sense of longing -- as if Amelia Earhart knows what is ahead of her. I don't want to spoil anything, but I think we all know what's coming for her. And if I were her and I knew how this movie ends, I'd be sad too. The film's details are below, courtesy of Fox Searchlight, followed by the poster.

- With Shantaram on hold, Mira Nair's take on Amelia Earhart is definitely taking flight - Variety reports that Hilary Swank and her femine/masculin chiseled features will fit just perfectly with what the records show as a gutsy female pilot. Amelia is currently not attached to any studio (expect a sale probably while filming). The project tells her story in the formative stages of her career. George Putnam, a publisher and publicist, was engaged by society denizen Amy Guest to set up a daring nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. When Guest was talked out of trying to become the first woman to make the trip, she dispatched Putnam to find a female pilot, and to turn the flight into a media event. Production begins this April and the project is financed by Ted Waitt - he will produce alongside Kevin Hyman and Lydia Dean Pilcher; the latter is Nair's producing partner.
