It’s still lo-res, but it’s the first new piece of marketing material we’ve seen for the film since it was announced. And it looks like this…

The official synopsis for the film, from its production company Studio Pow, reads as follows:

The Glove is a comedy road movie about two best friends in search of a mythical training glove.

Vic and Bob are childhood friends who own a junk shop together where they both work and live.

What follows is a madcap road movie across Britain as they enter the world of strange collectables and celebrity memorabilia in search of the elusive glove.

No word on a release date as of yet, but it appears to be edging closer. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
