Batshit Insane Trailer For Sharlto Copley’s POV Action Film HARDCORE
We’ve got an adrenaline-fueled NSFW trailer for Sharlto Copley’s upcoming action thriller Hardcore. What makes this movie unique is the fact that it’s all shot from the POV of the main character. That character doesn’t have a name, it’s billed as being “you,” which I thought was very cool because it puts you in the shoes of the main character.
The film is being executive produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and it was written and directed by Russian filmmaker Ilya Naishuller. He is the same director that brought this concept to life in his short films Insane Office Escape and Insane Office Escape Part 2.
The film has the makings of a badass action film that I know many of us are going to have an absolute blast watching. I thought it was interesting that Copley plays multiple characters in the movie.
You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry and congratulations, you’re now a cyborg. 5 minutes later, your wife has been kidnapped and you should probably go get her back. Who’s got her? His name’s Akan (Danila Kozlovsky), he’s just a psychotic megalomaniac with telekinetic powers, and a never-ending army of mercenaries. You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, Russia and everyone wants you dead. Everyone, except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley). He might be on your side. Good luck Henry. You’re very much likely to need it…
Hardcore was screened at TIFF this weekend. There’s no information on when we will see the movie hit theaters in the U.S., but I can’t wait to see it!
