So what’s up, how did the trailer for COLOMBIANA sit with you two weeks ago?
Hopefully you dug it, that way the following news has more importance. You see, Sony has just tagged the Olivier Megaton thriller with an August 26, 2011 release date. Perfect counterprogramming to the epic artifice of summer blockbuster season.
Written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen – COLOMBIANA centers on Cataleya Restrepo (Zoe Saldana) who at age 10 sees the brutal murder of her parents by a Colombian drug lord Don Luis. Cataleya manages to escape the bullets of the assassin and reach Chicago, where her uncle lives Emilio, also a gangster.
Emilio is doing its best to remove Cataleya from the criminal life, but she is determined to become a professional killer. At 25, Cataleya has become a real killer operating on behalf of his uncle, Emilio. But her sole desire is to find Don Luis to avenge the death of her parents.
Michael Vartan, Callum Blue, Amandla Stenberg, Cliff Curtis, Jordi Molla, Lennie James, Max Martini, Monica Acosta, Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Beau Brasso all round out the supporting cast.
COLOMBIANA shoots into theaters August 26.
