Michael Keaton Trains Dylan O'Brien to be a Master Assassin in Trailer for AMERICAN ASSASSIN
The first trailer has been released for the upcoming action thriller American Assassin in which Michael Keaton trains Dylan O'Brien (The Maze Runner) to be a master assassin. Together they embark on a mission to stop Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) from starting a war.
I like what I'm seeing in this trailer and it actually looks like it could be a great and intense movie! This is also another badass role for Keaton, who is always fun to watch in the movies that he makes! Here's the full synopsis:
AMERICAN ASSASSIN follows the rise of Mitch Rapp (O’Brien), a CIA black ops recruit under the instruction of Cold War veteran Stan Hurley (Keaton). The pair is then enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) to investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on both military and civilian targets. Together the three discover a pattern in the violence leading them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent (Shiva Negar) to stop a mysterious operative (Taylor Kitsch) intent on starting a World War in the Middle East.
American Assassin was directed by Michael Cuesta (12 and Holding, Tell Tale, Roadie, Kill the Messenger) from a script written by Stephen Schiff. The movie is based on a novel written by Vince Flynn and it will hit theaters on September 15th.
