Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire trailer debuts

Over the past two decades, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh has become one of the most sought after and highly respected filmmakers working in the industry today. So when he puts out a casting call, the results are fairly impressive. In his next film Haywire, the plot will be familiar (which is a nice way of saying that it will be unoriginal), but an all-star cast paired with Soderbergh’s style should make Haywire into a highly anticipated film.

Haywire is the story of a spy played by MMA fighter Gina Carano. If we stopped right there, you could probably guess what the film was about. Take an actor or actress that is known for action, and have them play a spy. Inevitably a betrayal, an attempt on the spy’s life, and bloody payback follow in short in order.

This marks the fourth movie Carano will appear in, but the first time that she will be the lead in it. Helping her along will be Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas, Bill Paxton, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender and Channing Tatum.

The first trailer was released last week at Comic-Con, which you can see below.  Haywire will have its debut in Ireland where it was primarily filmed, on August 5, but it won’t hit most theaters until January 20, 2012.

Netflix debuts first trailer for Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon
Jimmy the Robot Knight in "Rebel Moon."

In the early 1980s, one of the first responses to Star Wars was a legion of low-budget imitators, including the Roger Corman-produced film Battle Beyond the Stars. Director Zack Snyder has made no secret of the fact that Rebel Moon was originally his pitch for a Star Wars movie before Disney purchased Lucasfilm. And the early story elements from this film also seemed to lift some of the plot from Battle Beyond the Stars. But now that the first teaser trailer for the flick has arrived, it's showing even more Star Wars influence than we expected, including a look at glowing blue and red swords that shamelessly resemble lightsabers.

10 cool things to know about Ben Affleck’s canceled Batman movie
Batman looking up in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."

Before director Matt Reeves introduced a new vision of Gotham City in The Batman, Ben Affleck was set to helm the film based on a script he wrote centered around his version of Bruce Wayne in the DC Extended Universe. But as Affleck dealt with health issues and lost interest in directing the project and playing Batman, Reeves, and Warner Bros. continued steering in a different direction until an entirely new cinematic universe came to fruition with Robert Pattinson playing the Dark Knight.

Though the final cut of The Batman is arguably one of the best films about the Caped Crusader, many "Snyderverse" fans can't stop wanting to see what could've been. And while Affleck seems happy and healthy, having hung up his cape and cowl, one can't help but want to see his canceled film based on the many cool things that have been revealed over the years.
