Awesomely Insane Trailer for the POV Action Film HARDCORE HENRY
Another adrenaline-fueled, action-packed trailer has been released for Sharlto Copley's new thriller, Hardcore Henry. The movie previously went by the title Hardcore. What makes this movie so special and unique is the fact that the whole thing is shot from the point of view of the main character, just like the first-person video games that we enjoy playing.
The main character is a mute, amnesiac cyborg who is brought back from the dead by his wife through the wonders of science. Not long after he wakes up he's being shot at, and the adventure begins. The movie looks awesomely insane, and I'm excited as hell to watch it. This is one of those films that is going to take audiences on a fantastically wild ride of death and carnage.
You'll also notice in the trailer that Copley plays multiple characters in the film. Here's the synopsis:
Strap in. Hardcore Henry is one of the most unflinchingly original wild-rides to hit the big screen in a long time: 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. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, 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 a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You're also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley.) He may be on your side, but you aren't sure. If you can survive the insanity, and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Good luck, Henry. You're likely going to need it...
Hardcore Henry will play at the SXSW Film Festival next month before opening on April 8, 2016. You can check out the new poster below.
