We have some new images and a clip from Haywire, starring Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton and Michael Angarano. And since it’s been far too long since we’ve had any Fassbender, I needed to show it to you.
The synopsis:
This dynamic action-thriller directed by Oscar® winner Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) boasts a talented cast that includes Channing Tatum (GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra), Ewan McGregor (The Ghost Writer), Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Antonio Banderas (The Legend of Zorro), Bill Paxton (“Big Love”), Michael Douglas (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Michael Angarano (Almost Famous ); and introduces mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, in a demanding lead role that has her performing her own high-adrenaline stunts.
Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive.
I am in NO way shape or form advocating violence against women and if there are idiots out there who think this hyper-violent MOVIE from Steven Soderbergh is a how-to-manual then I hope the female they practice on gives them the full on "Fassbender treatment" that he got in the clip. Having said that, Gina Carano's Mallory Kane should have at least waited until they got naked and did the wappity wap before she killed Michael Fassbender. (And that’s not a spoiler, it’s right there) I know he hit her first, and he probably deserved what he got for a whole slew of misdeeds, but if she had any sense at all…I’m just sayin’.
Check out the images below, one of which is thanks to our friends at HeyUGuys. Haywire opens January 20. Personally, I can’t wait. (You did see that cast list, right?)
