Oct. 16 (UPI) — Black Bear has released a final poster for the upcoming film Wicker.

The studio shared a romantasy novel-inspired poster for the movie Friday featuring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgard.

The image, styled to look like the cover of a romance novel, shows Skarsgard embracing Colman from behind against a backdrop of clouds and green hills. The film’s title and the actors’ names appear in stylized gold font.

Wicker is a romantic comedy-drama based on the Ursula Wills-Jones short story “The Wicker Husband,” and is written and directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson.

Colman stars an an ostracized fisherwoman living in a small medieval village, who commissions a weaver (Peter Dinklage) to make her a husband out of wicker (Skarsgard).

“When her wicker husband proves more spectacular than she ever imagines, his soulful spirit and unique prowess awaken something inside her, setting off a wave of jealousy, fascination, and upheaval that threatens the very fabric of village life,” an official synopsis reads.
