It’s hard to relocate 1000 plus miles away and continue to keep up with an action movie website but I think I’m doing pretty damn good. My biggest crime is I’m seriously Kate with some news and there’s dozens of reviews I have to get too. All in good time so keep that in mind and be patient with me.
Next up, Matthew Vaughn’s (The KINGSMAN franchise) latest and most ambitious movie yet has dropped a first look trailer. An upcoming and quirky looking spy-thriller in the vein of 007, this one is called ARGYLLE and it stars Henry Cavill and John Cena as well as a plucky little kitty. Cavill got screwed when it comes to playing Superman so hopefully this one and the long delayed Highlander reboot will make up for it. Take a look at the new trailer below!
The greater the spy, the bigger the lie.
From the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman franchise, Kick-Ass) comes Argylle, a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller.
Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.
Accompanied by Aiden (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.
The top-flight ensemble cast features Henry Cavill (The Witcher), John Cena (Fast X), Oscar® winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Grammy winning pop superstar Dua Lipa (Barbie), Emmy winner and Oscar® nominee Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Emmy winner and comedy icon Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek), Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), and the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. Alfie is played by Chip, the real-life cat of supermodel Claudia Vaughn (née Schiffer).
Argylle is directed and produced by Matthew Vaughn, from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman). The film is produced by Matthew Vaughn, Adam Bohling (Kingsman franchise), Jason Fuchs, and David Reid (Kingsman franchise). The executive producers are Adam Fishbach, Zygi Kamasa, Carlos Peres and Claudia Vaughn.
With press and promotion hard to come by due to the ongoing actor strike, I’m not sure if this one will find an audience but with the star power involved, hopefully it will. Only time will tell but it looks flat out cool and different.
