Frank, Joe, Marvin, and Victoria used to be the CIA’s top agents — but the secrets they know just made them the Agency’s top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.

Stars Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine, Julian McMahon, and James Remar on October 15.

Never read the graphic novel but the film certainly looks interesting.

Edit:

[Dead Man]

I know nothing about it, but

Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine, Julian McMahon, and James Remar

sure as fuck has my attention! What a great cast.

 

[devilhawk]

I was in New Orleans when they filmed this. Saw Bruce and like 4 of his stunt doubles.

 

[Witchfinder General]

I know nothing about it, but sure as fuck has my attention! What a great cast.

Ditto. I'm there with bells on.

Who's directing and writing?

 

[Rickard]

Holy shit this looks awesome.

And Helen Mirren is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

From the writers of Whiteout and the director of The Time Travellers Wife.

 

[Decado]

Last I heard they are going for a PG-13 rating. Will have to be something special for me to bother with it.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

God damn it, that was going to be John C Reilley in Malkovich's part.

 

[EatChildren]

Helen Mirren has amazing breasts so I'm in.

 

[kaskade]

Yes Mary Louise Parker.

 

[Blackace]

Damn with a cast like that I don't even need to know anything about the flick

 

[sarcastor]

Who's directing and writing?

from the same director as the time traveler's wife and flightplan

HD trailer at yahoo

 

[sixteen-bit]

this looks fun

 

[Dan]

Could be fun, but outside of the cast I don't see much differentiating it from every other 'our former government employers are trying to kill us so let's turn the tables on them' movie, or every other modern ensemble action flick for that matter.

 

[Rickard]

I don't see much differentiating it from every other 'our former government employers are trying to kill us so let's turn the tables on them' movie..

How many of those are there?

 

[Dan]

How many of those are there?

Don't The Losers and The A-Team both more or less follow that formula?

 

[Discotheque]

Maybe it's just John Malkovich, but the trailer just looks like Burn After Reading: The action flick. Just the look of the film and everything.

Will see it for two reasons: Helen Mirren and Guns. Thank God they are finally together.

 

[Rickard]

Don't The Losers and The A-Team both more or less follow that formula?

I guess.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Looks crazy fun. This is what Willis needs.

 

[Instro]

Damn that looked pretty cool. Odd to see Helen Mirren in that kind of role.

 

[Truant]

Willis needs to do another Shyamalan film in the vein of Unbreakable or the Sixth Sense.

 

[Talon]

Hey, Mary-Louise Parker!

Missed her since season 2 of Weeds.

 

[USD]

I'd let Helen Mirren gun me down.

And lol, Nancy Botwin.

 

[Dan]

Willis needs to do another Shyamalan film in the vein of Unbreakable or the Sixth Sense.

Well you may be in luck as Willis is apparently attached to the new project that Shyamalan is trying to sell.

 

[TheOddOne]

Helen Mirren is fucking awesome.

Everything else is just the cherry on top.

 

[sweetvar26]

Looks fun.

 

[Rei_Toei]

Yes please.

 

[jakncoke]

" he's been given daily does of lsd for 11 years"
" well in that case he looks good"
:lol

 

[ElectricBlue187]

I'm very interested in this film

 

[LongDongJunon]

Oh shit Carl Urban!!

I'M IN.

 

[Zenith]

woot, Karl Urban!

 

[bbyybb]

With a cast like that i do want to see this film. Good trailer too.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Yes please.

Indeed.

 

[Runus]

That looks really cool. I'll see it.

 

[Dabanton]

The cast sold it to me.

The trailer even more can't wait.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Maybe it's just John Malkovich, but the trailer just looks like Burn After Reading: The action flick. Just the look of the film and everything.

Will see it for two reasons: Helen Mirren and Guns. Thank God they are finally together.

Glad I wasn't the only one.

 

[akachan ningen]

The trailer looks interesting. I don't think the cast is as godly as some are making it out to be.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

New trailer, not very different but some good lines. Weird seeing these actors doing a "comic" movie, but it looks interesting.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Fuck why are there so many movies about the CIA.

The only good one ever made IMO was Three Days of the Condor. They don't make them like that anymore.

This one sounds like "The A-Team, but with a white woman instead of a black guy." Or like that other movie that came out at the same time with the bunch of nobodies actors.

 

[Steelrain]

I thought Spy Game was pretty good

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Helen Mirren

<3



Looks like a fun movie.

 

[Alphahawk]

Oh I get it, it's funny cause they're old...

 

[Deku]

Sounds awesome. I need of a good spy thriller
Hoping they don't dumb it down

 

[EviLore]

*watches trailer*

Huh. Strange. Did they really get anything out of adapting Warren Ellis's comic for this film? All they seem to have retained is "the CIA is after me, let's attack them back," and that's not exactly a premise you need to buy from someone else.

Anyway, looks pretty bad, and it's apparently going to be PG-13 which guarantees that it'll suck. How many of these desperately trying to be hip secret operative ensemble films do we need this year?

 

[VGChampion]

Looks great but I've never read or heard of the comic before.

Kind of wish they didn't show that last shoot out scene. Would have been cool seeing it at the theater unknowingly.
