Action-Packed Trailer for Assassin Thriller THE PROTÉGÉ with Maggie Q and Michael Keaton

A new trailer has been released for the action thriller The Protégé, starring Maggie Q, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Keaton. The film was previously known as The Asset, and it was written by Richard Wenk (16 Blocks, The Equalizer) and directed by Martin Cambell (Golden Eye, Casino Royale).

Here’s the film’s synopsis:

Rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody (Samuel L. Jackson) and trained in the family business, Anna (Maggie Q) is the world’s most skilled contract killer. But when Moody – the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival – is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer (Michael Keaton) whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves ever tighter.

This looks like a fun and really action-packed movie, and you can see that Maggie Q kicks Michael Keaton’s butt! Check out the trailer below, and watch The Protégé in theaters on August 20th.
