Our ongoing AFM (American Film Market) coverage continues as Steve grabbed a shot of the promo poster and synopsis for Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut Quartet.  It’s hard to believe that Hoffman has never officially helmed a film until now, but it’s exciting to see what he’ll come up with.  He’s also got a great cast with Maggie Smith, Albert Finney, and Tom Courtenay set to star.

Hit the jump to check out the promo poster and synopsis.

UPDATE: The studio has asked us to remove the poster. Sorry if you missed it.

Here’s the synopsis for Quartet:

Dustin Hoffman directs Academy Award winner Maggie Smith, five-time Academy nominee Albert Finney and two-time Academy nominee Tom Courtenay in a mischievous comedy about life and love.

Dirty little secrets stir up the reunion of a world-famous quartet when they get together for a one-off concert.

An eccentric diva, her first ex-husband, a lustful baritone, and the scatter-brained object of his desire make up a cast of vivid characters.

Funny and touching, this is the story of four friends reconciled and revived by their love of applause.

  1. Actually, Hoffman did try to direct a film in the 70′s. But he didn’t like what he shot, thought he has no ‘eye’ for directing ans so as the producer, fired himself and got someone else to direct. Forgot the name of that movie.
