“The world’s top bodyguard gets a new client, a hit man who must testify at the International Court of Justice. They must put their differences aside and work together to make it to the trial on time.”
Directed by Patrick Hughes (Red Hill, The Expendables 3), The Hitman's Bodyguard looks to be a fun action comedy similar to last years hit The Nice Guy's. At least that's what I am hoping anyway! The cast includes Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, and Gary Oldman. Check out the official trailers below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, The Hitman's Bodyguard:
- The movie poster showing Ryan Reynolds carrying Samuel L. Jackson is a spoof of the poster for the 1992 film "The Bodyguard" where Kevin Costner is carrying Whitney Houston.
- During the trailer the song from the movie "The Bodyguard" from 1992 plays in the background. The movie poster from both films share similarities.
- A video of its filming in Amsterdam turned up on social media networks showing a car chase. A Porsche Cayenne is shown crashing into a Smart and pushing it in the water. The video went viral and the story changed to it being a stolen car in a real chase.
