Paul Schrader’s THE CANYONS Poster Starring Lindsay Lohan

Despite looking not so good, I’m still oddly drawn to Paul Schrader‘s upcoming film The Canyons, which stars Lindsay Lohan and James Deen.  The film is co-written by Schrader, who also wrote Taxi Driver and American Gigolo, and Bret Easton Ellis, who wrote American Psycho and Less Than Zero. 

A new poster was released today, which is pretty underwhelming, but hopefully the film itself will surprise us all.  The Canyons is hitting VOD and select theaters August 2nd, hit the jump for the poster and synopsis.  Click here to check out the previously released trailer in case you missed it.

While calculating young movie producer Christian (Deen) makes films to keep his trust fund intact, his actress girlfriend, Tara (Lohan), hides an affair with an actor from her past. But Christian becomes aware of her infidelity, which leads the young Angelenos into a violent, sexually-charged tour through the dark side of human nature.
