Throughout action cinema history, whether it be big blockbusters or smaller indie pics, some bad guys have made it a point to mess with the wrong person. This can include but not limited to kidnapping a loved one of a former spec ops bad ass or killing the loved one of a former spec ops bad ass. There are also the movies where the worst of the worst in the criminal underworld take on the wrong man or woman and thus discovering that they bit off way more than they could chew. Serves then right if you ask me.
This next film deals with the latter as a contingent of human traffickers are about to discover that they have essentially taken the wrong lady and this fighter isn’t going to stay down as she brings the pain to her assailants. The subject in question is Sarah Alexandra Marks who stars as said lady who turns the tables on her captors and goes from hunted to hunter in the blink of an eye in director Howard J. Ford’s (THE DEAD, THE LEDGE, DARKGAME) upcoming human prey actioner Escape which makes a debut in theaters and VOD March 15th courtesy of the fine folks at Saban Films.
To celebrate the release, we are debuting the official key art and embedded trailer which features all the Femme Fatale fury you can shake a stick at. Partake in all the female centric ass kicking in the new teaser. Scroll below to view it all!
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE:
With Saban’s release of ESCAPE hitting theaters and VOD this March 15th, the film promises to thrill and excite in the same vein as TAKEN and REVENGE. Starring Sarah Alexandra Marks, the movie is full of stunts, chases, and action. Directed by Howard J. Ford (THE DEAD, THE LEDGE, DARKGAME), the film has a distinct sense of location and style all its own. “Working with Howard truly was an adventure of a lifetime,” Marks says. “He is a very trusting director: he’s able to tease out the best in you and let you run with it … literally and metaphorically. Working on ESCAPE, more specifically with Howard J Ford, was a breath of fresh air – he is a wonderful director to work with, every day, every scene, every moment carries meaning and passion. Collaborating with him on this film reinvigorated me as an artist and performer. With the trust of Howard, I was able to explore my character with free reign and ease. I truly believe this helped me be present in each moment both on and off camera.
On the film’s locations, Marks explains: “Shooting in canyons, desert dunes and caves was a once in a lifetime experience … all while wearing heels! The film captures shots of the desert that would make Sergio Leone fans happy and those who love full blown action are in for a treat!” Speaking about the incredible amount of stunts and action required, Marks says, “I did all my own stunts and fight choreography and loved every moment of it; it’s amazing what we can do when we channel our unique strengths to overcome the harshest adversities.
