Three new character posters have been posted on the official homepage for Mark Romanek’s new feature, the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s celebrated book, Never Let Me go.

Here’s the synopsis:

As children, Ruth, Kathy and Tommy, spend their childhood at a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. As they grow into young adults, they find that they have to come to terms with the strength of the love they feel for each other, while preparing themselves for the haunting reality that awaits them.

Judging by the trailer, these beautifully composed close-ups of the three lead (Andrew Garfield, Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan) perfectly reflect the style of the film. Romanek is a master visualist (the photos he frequently posts on Twitter are clearly the work of a hugely talented individual).

The film of opens this year’s London Film Festival and it’s released nationwide on 14 January 2011.
