My buddy Todd Farmer is staying pretty busy these days, and I’m happy for him as a result. After the success of MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, which Todd worked on with director Patrick Lussier, he’s moved into the action movie realm, but with a twist. DRIVE ANGRY 3D stars Nicolas Cage as a man out for revenge, straight from the bowels of hell itself. Think DEATH WISH but with a supernatural angle. The movie co-stars Amber Heard, the great William Fichtner, and THE TWILIGHT SAGA‘s Billy Burke (don’t let that last name scare ya). Summit Entertainment has put out a new UK trailer for International audiences, which you can see at the bottom of this article. If you haven’t seen the latest US trailer, that’s in HD here:
Farmer and Lussier co-wrote the screenplay, with Lussier directing. Todd has a few scenes in the movie as well, as I can tell ya he’s in the trailers. Look for the bald and sexy sonuvabitch sporting a mustache. I’ve heard cool things from those who have seen advance showings, particularly that the film is rather crazy, and I gotta say I like the sound of that. Still waiting on Todd to send me an advance screener… hear me Todd? Up next for Farmer and Lussier – a HELLRAISER reboot.
Synopsis: In the newest 3D action-adventure from the director of MY BLOODY VALENTINE, DRIVE ANGRY stars Nicolas Cage as Milton, a hardened felon who has broken out of hell for one last chance at redemption. Intent on stopping a vicious cult who murdered his daughter, he has three days to stop them before they sacrifice her baby beneath a full moon.
He’s joined by Piper (Amber Heard) – a young, sexy waitress who liberates her ex-boyfriend’s cherry-red muscle car in order to help Milton. Now, the two of them are hot on the trail of the deadly leader of the cult, Jonah King (Billy Burke), who believes it is his destiny to use the baby to unleash hell on earth.
But the bloodthirsty cult is the least of Milton’s problems. The police are after him too. And worse, an enigmatic killer known only as “The Accountant” – who has been sent by the Devil to retrieve Milton and deliver him back to hell. With wicked cunning and hypnotic savagery, the Accountant will relentlessly pursue Milton at high speed across the country until his mission is accomplished.
Fueled by high octane and pure rage, Milton must use his anger to go beyond all human limits to avenge his daughter’s murder, before his last chance at redemption is revoked.
