The Brand New AMERICAN ASSASSIN Red-Band Trailer Teases ‘This Is Just The Beginning!’

Michael Cuesta’s new movie, American Assassin, is ready to flesh out more of its A-game this week in a brand new red-band trailer from CBS Films. Front and center is actor Dylan O’Brien starring as the on-screen iteration of popular literary protagonist, Mitch Rapp, a CIA black ops recruit who sets out to take matters in his own hands, training in record excel and killing as many terrorists as possible in the wake of a deadly attack that saw his girlfriend as collateral.

Joining O’Brien are actress Sanaa Lathan as CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy, and Shiva Negar as the lethal Turkish agent who aids Rapp on his mission, and actor Michael Keaton who plays Rapp’s handler, Cold War veteran Stan Hurley who doles out some cold, hard hand-to-hand advice in more ways than one in this latest trailer. The villain, of course, is played by Taylor Kitsch who gets named as “The Ghost” – an apparent yesteryear pupil of Hurley’s who has since applied his own training for some clearly notorious means.

The new restricted trailer is a great package for this title almost summing it up a battle between ‘bests of the bests’, priming what looks to be an exciting thriller ahead of its September 15 release. Check it out below!

Scott Adkins as Uri Boyka

Scott Adkins Wants UNDISPUTED 5! There’s Only One Problem…

An exasperating wait, no less, for folks like myself who live in the U.S.. Still, it’s nice to know that a Blu-Ray/Digital HD release of the new tournament martial arts thriller, Boyka: Undisputed, is well on its way with an August release, while it’s even nicer to know that the film’s star, actor and martial artist Scott Adkins wants to do a fifth.

He says so at around the 11:40 mark in his latest interview now online following his recent appearance at MCM Expo in London this week to discuss the role and the film as a whole – And not for nothing either as he continues to pound away at fans who enjoy his movies, but insist on stealing them online which will otherwise kill any chance of the film happening before 2030 if we’re lucky (my words, not his).

Adkins also shares several new images from his latest, Accident Man, and some gems on Michael Cuesta’s American Assassin, working with Tony Jaa on the recently-wrapped ensemble action thriller, Triple Threat, and much more.

The full interview hosted by @tanavip can be viewed below.

AMERICAN ASSASSIN Targets Taylor Kitsch For The Villain

With production officially set to commence next month, THR writes that actor Taylor Kitsch will star as the villain in director Michael Cuesta’s forthcoming novel adaptation, American Assassin. The film is inspired by Vincent Flynn’s 2010 novel, an origin story among the 14-book collection outlining the popular “Mitch Rapp” series from Simon & Schuster.

Kitsch joins opposite Maze Runner trilogy star Dylan O’Brien in the role of Rapp, an Arab linguistics student and counter terrorisim operative who, following the death of his fiancée, takes to task for a series of covert missions under the supervision of Cold War veteran and reluctant mentor Stan Hurley, played by Michael Keaton. Rapp and Hurley are subsequently directed by the CIA to investigate a wave of civilian and military attacks that force them to stop a terrorist plot that could ensue in World War III.

Di Bonaventura Pictures and Nick Wechsler Productions will produce the film while shoots are scheduled for locations in London and Budapest. CBS Films and Lionsgate co-financing the film with the former handling production and marketing, and the latter distributing.
