There was a brief teaser trailer for Lockout, the latest from Luc Besson’s company Europa, a couple months ago but now there’s a full trailer and consider me infinitely more excited. Guy Pearce stars as Snow, a criminal who is given a chance at freedom if he goes on a mission to rescue the President’s daughter from a maximum security prison that has been taken over by the inmates. The big catch is that the prison is a space station orbiting the Earth. I’m hearing a lot of people making comparisons to Escape from New York and Guy Pearce to Kurt Russell and I can definitely see it along with Europa’s most recent hit, Taken. I’m a fan of Guy Pearce and he looks like he’s gonna be a great, wise ass action hero in this. Check out the trailer below and the movie is out in April.
I'm your main feature writer and co-creator and have a love for all movies from the Oscar darlings to the Bargain Bin rejects.
