Well, I’d like the 13 poster better if it included Alexander Skarsgard on it. But as it is, it’s just all right (it looks a little too photoshopped for my taste).
More interesting is the new trailer for the action thriller directed by Géla Babluani who remade his own 2005 indie film, 13 Tzameti, with this English language version.
The remake’s cast includes Jason Statham, Sam Riley, Mickey Rourke, Curtis 50 Cent Jackson, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Michael Shannon, and Alexander Skarsgard, and is set for a limited theatrical release in NY and LA the week of October 28, 2011, before hitting stores on Blu-ray and DVD on November 8th.
The Plot: Vince Ferro is a man in desperate circumstances. While on a quick fix-it job, he steals an envelope containing instructions for a mysterious job that promises a potential fortune. He assumes a false identity and follows the instructions, only to find himself a numbered participant in an underworld Russian roulette competition, where gamblers place bets on who’ll survive when the trigger is pulled.
The stakes are high, but the payout is more than he can resist. Many are competing for the first time, and a precious few have even returned to play again, but are his odds any better than other players in this most deadly game? What will it take to be the last man standing?
