Earlier on this morning, we brought you the first trailer for the upcoming Jason Statham film WILD CARD, which releases in the United States on the 30th January. Now, we can bring you the first official still from the Simon West directed film, which is based upon William Goldman’s 1985 novel ‘Heat.’
We also have the official synopsis for the film, which you can read below.
Nick Wild (Jason Statham) is a Las Vegas bodyguard with lethal professional skills and a personal gambling problem. When a friend is beaten by a sadistic thug, Nick strikes back, only to find out the thug is the son of a powerful mob boss. Suddenly Nick is plunged into the criminal underworld, chased by enforcers and wanted by the mob. Having raised the stakes, Nick has one last play to change his fortunes…and this time, it’s all or nothing. From two-time Academy Award-winning writer William Goldman (Best Original Screenplay, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969; Best Adapted Screenplay, All the President’s Men, 1976).
WILD CARD also stars Michael Angarano, Milo Ventimiglia, Dominik García-Lorido, Anne Heche, Sofia Vergara, Max Casella, Jason Alexander, Francois Vincentelli, Davenia McFadden, Chris Browning, Matthew Willig, Greice Santo, Hope Davis and Stanley Tucci.
The film is still waiting for an official UK release, but as always, we’ll keep you posted.
