New Trailer for Heist Flick 'Son of a Gun' with Ewan McGregor, Alicia Vikander, and Brenton Thwaites
A couple of months ago we received the first trailer for Son of a Gun, a heist thriller that looked pretty conventional by genre standards. That's except for the cast which features Ewan McGregor and Alicia Vikander, two reasons to take interest in the film, plus rising star Brenton Thwaites, who has had a big year already with Maleficent and The Giver. Now that the film has made its way to theaters overseas, a U.S. release is mere weeks away and now a new trailer has arrived that is a step up from the earlier one.
The story is one we've heard before. McGregor plays a veteran criminal with Thwaites as a young thug under his wing, as they team up for a gold heist that could change their lives. Of course, things don't quite go as planned because of that "no honor among thieves" thing that criminals always seem to forget.
Written and directed by Julius Avery, Son of a Gun debuts exclusively on DirecTV starting December 11th, followed by a theatrical run in January.
