As a means of convincing Michael Bay to come back and do another Transformers flick, Paramount basically agreed to back his little indie movie he's been dying to make since before Transformers: Dark of the Moon. And so the result of that tit-for-tat agreement is the small budget(for Bay anyway) crime film, Pain and Gain, which along with receiving a release date earlier today now also has this Creotine juiced poster.
It's a no-brainer deal for Paramount, spending a few measley million in order to rake in billions selling toys of gigantic robots when Transformers 4 hits. Pain and Gain is a true story pulled from a Miami New Times article about a pair of Florida bodybuilders(Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson) who run a crime ring specializing in murder, extortion, and kidnapping. They screw up big time when they abduct and leave for dead a wealthy businessman, who then hires a detective to find them and get some payback.
Co-starring Rob Corddry, Rebel Wilson, Anthony Mackie, Ed Harris, Tony Shalhoub, Bar Paly, Yolanthe Sneijder-Cabau, and Ken Jeong, Pain and Gain opens next year on April 26th.
