The next film by Steven Soderbergh — who has claimed he will soon retire from directing after his current slate of films are finished — is Haywire, a revenge thriller starring an eclectic mix of actors. From Comic-Con we have the film’s first poster, along with a few stills showing MMA star Gina Carano and Channing Tatum in action. Stick around after the photos, a brief synopsis, and trailer, too!
Uzis and jumping certainly are hallmarks of a good thriller, so although these stills don’t show us much they do indicate that the film is full of action. Check out the synopsis below to fill in the details:
This dynamic action-thriller directed by Oscar® winner Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) boasts a talented cast that includes Channing Tatum (GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra), Ewan McGregor (The Ghost Writer), Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Antonio Banderas (The Legend of Zoro), Bill Paxton (“Big Love”), Michael Douglas (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Michael Angarano (Almost Famous); and introduces mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, in a demanding lead role that has her performing her own high-adrenaline stunts.
Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive.
Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary.”
Haywire is set for a January 20, 2012 release. Now if you stuck around this long, you deserve a look at the trailer, which gives way more context:
