Cinematical has just received a whole bunch of new images from the upcoming film Swing Vote, starring Kevin Costner, Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper and Paula Patton. I'm loving the concept behind this one -- imagine if an entire presidential election somehow came down to one vote ... and it was yours. That's exactly what happened to Bud Johnson (Kevin Costner), a simple man living a simple life -- and Swing Vote follows Bud, as well as his 12-year-old daughter, when they're suddenly thrust into the national spotlight.
Grammer and Hopper play both presidential candidates, while Nathan Lane and Stanley Tucci chime in as their campaign managers. Additionally, a whole mess of real-life personalities will pop up -- like Larry King, Bill Maher, Arianna Huffington, Tucker Carlson and more. With the country stressing out over our current presidential election, it'll be nice to take in a sweet comedy that pokes fun at this ridiculous process and the even more ridiculous people who take part in it. Can't we just elect an average guy ... like Bud?
Check out the gallery below for a slew of brand new pics from the film. Swing Vote arrives in theaters on August 1.

Kevin Costner is a horrible actor. I watched the previews and he plays an absolutely stupid, mornish character! You have to be talented to play "charming". Costner is simply playing an idiot. With all the debating going about politics, why would any one want to pay money to watch more political stupidity at the theatre? I doubt Americans will be lining up to watch this movie.

Kevin Costner's movies have made hundreds of millions of dollars. In modern terms that equates success as an actor,director and producer. To achieve this the man is talented without a doubt. He also has a band Modern West that sells out in every venue it plays. I for one will be lining up to see this movie the first day it opens.
