Charlize Theron Kicks JOHN WICK-Style Ass in Red-Band Trailer for ATOMIC BLONDE!
The first full red-band trailer has been released for Charlize Theron's new hardcore action thriller Atomic Blonde! As you'll see, she kicks some major ass, much in the same way that Keanu Reeves kicked ass as John Wick. That's probably because the movie was helmed by John Wick co-director David Leitch.
Theron takes on the role of Agent Lorraine Broughton, and she looks like she's going to be one hell of a strong female action hero. The first minute of this three-minute trailer just shows Theron getting brutally savage on a couple thugs trying to take her down, but she hands their asses to them. In an interview with EW, the actress talked about the intense training she did for the film saying:
"Let’s be honest, I got my ass handed to me every day. I cracked through two of my teeth in the back of my mouth from clenching so much that I had to have massive dental surgery right before we left for Budapest to shoot the film."
Damn! Atomic Blonde is based on the Oni Press graphic novel by writer Antony Johnston and illustrator Sam Hart.
Atomic Blonde offers a breakneck action-thriller that follows MI6’s most lethal assassin through a ticking time bomb of a city simmering with revolution and double-crossing hives of traitors.
The crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.
The movie also stars John Goodman, Til Schweiger (Inglourious Basterds), Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan), Sofia Boutella (Star Trek Beyond, The Mummy), and Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger).
Atomic Blonde hits the big screen July 28 and I can't wait to see it!
