FilmDistrict's new thriller Dead Man Down topbills Colin Farrell (Total Recall) and Noomi Rapace (Sweden-language The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo). Marketing was supposed to start earlier this month, but due to the horrendous events at Sandy Hook Elementary, it was delayed until now. Head on and watch the full trailer below.
The trailer is visually promising for a lo-fi (it has spent approximately $30 Million). Explosions and action sequences look stunning, although some moments tend to take the turn to the Michael Bay kind. I have my fingers crossed but I am willing to put a little more faith on Neils Arden Olpev, director of the first Dragon Tattoo flick. Farrell and Rapace look a good pair to follow, too, so this goes "very" on my movie radar.
Dead Man Down is set in New York, where a hitman Victor (Farrell) is blackmailed by his beautiful neighbor Beatrice (Rapace), a woman thirsty for revenge, to kill his crime-lord boss Hoyt (Terrence Howard, Iron Man). The movie also stars Dominic Cooper (Captain America: The First Avenger, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunters) and Isabelle Huppert (Captive, Amour).
Written by J.H. Wyman (one of TV's "Fringe" regular writer), the movie opens on U.S. theaters this March 8.
