Director Edward Zwick, whose credits include “The Last Samurai” and “Blood Diamond,” is just a couple of months away from releasing his latest epic “Defiance,” about three Jewish brothers who escape from the Nazis and join Russian resistance fighters in their struggle to survive.
Today we have a first look at the official poster for the movie, which stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell (that guy from “Jumper”). It’s a pretty simple one-sheet, but it’s got just the right look for a war drama. The film opens Dec. 12, 2008. Enjoy the poster below.

Actor Hayden Christensen is set to return to last year's blockbuster Jumper for a further two movies.
The star is in talks to front two sequels to the sci-fi film and, although the production schedule has yet to be finalised, he is confident he will be reprising his role.
He says, "We're talking about it. I know that they're having those conversations, I hear about them.
