I posted a test trailer for The Tournament in May, 2008. It's been removed obviously by now but it looked fuckin awesome. So it's odd that over a year later, we finally get to see the official trailer for this seemingly awesome action fest.

So what all the hype-o-palooza all about?

Here's the plot.

Every 7 years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins. The last man standing receiving the $10,000,000 cash prize and the title of Worlds No 1 (which itself carries the legendary million dollar a bullet price tag). The Tournament is set up by a group of sick high stake billionaires who watch the mayhem unfold via CCTV and bet on its outcome.

We're not talking no name actors here. It's some top notch A list mofo's as your fucked up assassins.

Ian Somerhalder, Kelly Hu,Robert Carlyle, Scott Adkins, Ving Rhames ...

Thanks to Twitch, the final official trailer is now online. Check it out below.





Check out the official site for some stills and other goodies. The movie is to be released sometime this year.

It looks like non stop action with a demented twist. Like Surviving the Game with pros. Or Thirst but with assassins. The UK are actionmeisters when it comes to this shit so hopefully this will get a theatrical release.

Thoughts?

After watching the trailer for Stag Night, the first question that popped into my head was...

Really?????? Every year, 2000 passengers go missing on the subway?????
Get the fuck out of here.

But who am I to argue. I'm sure they have certified NYC MTA stats to back that shit up.

Stag Night is brought to us by Peter Dowling, who wrote Flightplan. The plot sounds like Judgement Night, but on a train.

Four guys on a bachelor party get off the subway at a station that shut down in the 50's and, after watching a transit cop get brutally murdered, find themselves running for their lives beneath the streets of NY.

The movie stars Kip Pardue, Breckin Meyer, the hot Vinessa Shaw and Scott "Boyka" Adkins.

Which begs the question, why is Boyka (from Undisputed 2) running from a crazed NYC serial killer? He can fuckin spinkick the shit out anybody.

So if your on a NYC train, don't get off a stop that looks shady. Do as the tagline suggests.

Stay on train (or get out when its your stop)

Check out the trailer in all its absurd glory below.
