Sheroes arrives in theaters and on digital June 23 from Paramount Movies.
What do you get when you take four screen-talents with social media followings in the millions and a producer of Spring Breakers and throw them on the set for an action adventure thriller set in Thailand? I’m not quite sure yet, but I’ll be damned if the official trailer for Sheroes tries to answer that question, now confronted by writer and director Jordan Gertner for its release next month out of Paramount Movies on June 23.
A brand new trailer went live over the weekend for director Luc Besson’s latest, Anna. The new female-fronted assassin thriller has debut actress Sasha Luss in the title role, and I’m actually fascinated as to this one will turn out when it hits theaters seeing as the campaign feels abnormally quiet to me apart from the usual requisite TV spots and social media blurbs.
It’d be nice to be able to talk about movies like French director Luc Besson’s latest, Anna, without having bring things up like the past year in which he’s faced multiple allegations of sexual assult by women in addition to a lawsuit from at least one victim. But…we don’t live in a world that ideal, and Summit is contractually obligated to distribute the new assassin thriller as it intended after acquiring it in October 2017.
Plot details have yet to be made known but considering Besson’s cult-acclaim and knack for otherwise buzzworthy spectacle, Anna sounds like its in good hands. All it needs now is a solid script, acting and story, and cohesive action scenes that won’t make moviegoers regret paying $20 bucks for a ticket.
