Now, if you like genuine British hunks, you will enjoy this one. According to "Variety" Clive Owen and Jason Statham will star together in "The Killer Elite". The film centers on a group of British former special forces soldiers who become hunted by a team of ruthless assassins, lead by Jason Statham's character. Clive Owen will play a top field agent for a spy organization that protects the British soldiers and their families.
Since he obviously likes playing killers, after we see him this summer in "The Expendables" Jason Statham will also star in "The Mechanic" an action-thriller centered on an assassin and his apprentice (Ben Foster). On the other side, it seems Clive Owen adores playing cops and special agents, and if you go over to IMDB and check his list, you will see that all of his upcoming projects present him in detective or agent roles.
Jason Stratham and Clive Owen - together! Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, Wendy, we knew you had some taste ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't know about the hunk thing, but those are great actors for the movie.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't look interesting in the least. Except maybe Clive Owen going all 'Shoot Em Up' again.
ReplyDeleteReally original title, almost as good as "Killers" or "The Killers" or "Elite Killers" ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, people, I agree, this sounds like something we've seen gazillion of times before :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to "The Mechanic". You recall that it is a remake of the Charles Bronson movie (1972) of the same name.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall, Alan, it was six years before my birth :) but I do remember being scared from Bronson as a small kid :)
ReplyDeleteLike you said Dez - typical roles for both of them.
ReplyDeleteI for one would like to see them in some different roles sometimes.
yes, Clive could a comedy or a good drama for a change, while Jason could do some epic movie or some sf.
