I loved Ilya Naishuller’s first-person actioneer Hardcore Henry, which is “filled to the brim with holy shit moments.”
STX won the film after a heated bidding war out of the Toronto International Film Festival, and will now release it in theaters on April 8th.
This afternoon the official poster was dropped out of a plane and free-falls right here to Bloody Disgusting. The art in insane, displaying the title character falling out of the sky with his guns a blazing. It’s a tease of the opening scene which is straight up bananas.
District 9‘s Sharlto Copley stars with Danila Kozlovsky, Haley Bennett, Andrey Dementyev,Dasha Charusha, and Sveta Ustinova.
Its producers include Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch).
“Resurrected with no recollection of his past, a cyborg named Henry (the audience’s POV) and his ally, Jimmy (Copley) 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.”
