I feel like all I’ve been doing lately is talking about and showcasing films that star Jason Statham. First Crank 2, then Blitz and now Safe. Yesterday, Lionsgate released a new poster for Statham’s new action thriller, Safe, which co-stars Catherine Chan, Chris Sarandon, Robert John Burke, Reggie Lee, Danny Hoch and James Hong.
In the movie from writer-director Boaz Yakin, Statham portrays a former elite operative who must protect an adolescent girl (played by Catherine Chan) from the bad guys.
Additionally, Relativity announced yesterday that IMDB debuted the first poster for their upcoming action biopic, Machine Gun Preacher directed by Marc Forster and starring Gerard Butler in the titular role.
In this inspirational true story, Machine Gun Preacher is about Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing criminal who undergoes an astonishing transformation and finds an unexpected calling as the savior of hundreds of kidnapped and orphaned children. Gerard Butler (300) delivers a searing performance as Childers, the impassioned founder of the Angels of East Africa rescue organization in Golden Globe-nominated director Marc Forster’s (Monster’s Ball, Finding Neverland) moving story of violence and redemption.
While these posters might not be that special, I’m very intrigued by Machine Gun Preacher and how that film will turn out. I feel like it is going to be much more dramatic than everyone thinks even though it is definitely going to have a lot of action in it.
Be sure to leave your thoughts about both movies in the comments section further down the page.
