Drafthouse releases award-season Miami Connection Ads


8:00 AM on 11.06.2012



Just when you thought that John Carter and Battleship had this year's awards season on lockdown, the dark-horse candidate emerges onto the foggy stage, shirtless, mustached and ready to blow you away with his heartfelt taekwondo moves and serenade you with new wave songs about friendship. Miami Connection is the movie everyone will be talking about this year.

To coincide with Miami Connection's re-release in select theaters this month, the Alamo Drafthouse has created a whole bunch of "For Your Consideration" advertisements. Check out the heart-wrenching video above for a taste of possible Best Supporting Actor nominee Maurice Smith as "Jim", and below for some picturesque advertisements for your consideration.
