The thing with Millenium films is that often times early promo trailers show up on the web, like what happened to Rambo and Nic Cage‘s Bad Lieutenant. The early promo trailer for THE MECHANIC remake, starring Jason Statham and Ben Foster is here, you can watch it using the media player below, it’s an international version, lo-quality footage and you can consider it red-band. Looks like it’s going to be a raw, action-packed, steamy film just for male audiences everywhere.
Directed by Simon West brought us Con Air, The General’s Daughter, and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and then he hid under TV gigs all these years until now.
THE MECHANIC is a remake of the 1972 movie starring Charles Bronson playing a contract killer about to retire when he takes on a young apprentice, but then it becomes clear that he’s double-crossed and forced to survive.
In this new take, Statham plays Bishop, Foster plays the apprentice and Donald Sutherland plays Foster’s father and Statham’s handler. Watch the trailer after this jump…
THE MECHANIC opens December 15th, 2010
