Remember Hardcore, that first-person action film we championed in fall of last year? Well, STX Entertainment has announced that they’ve changed the name of the film to Hardcore Henry and they’ll be releasing it in theaters on April 8th.
“Resurrected with no recollection of his past, a cyborg named Henry (the audience’s POV) and his ally, Jimmy (Sharlto Copley, ‘District 9′) must fight through the streets of Moscow in pursuit of Henry’s kidnapped wife in the world’s first action-adventure film to be entirely shot from the first person perspective.”
Hardcore Henry blew away audiences when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, ultimately selling for $10 million.
Produced by Timur Bekmambetov, Ilya Naishuller, Inga Vainshtein Smith and Ekaterina Kononenko and directed by Naishuller, Hardcore Henry stars Sharlto Copley, Haley Bennett, Danila Kozlovsky, Cyrus Arnold, Ilya Naishuller and Will Stewart.
