A lot of eyebrows were raised when Steven Soderbergh cast little known MMA fighter Gina Carano in the lead role in his action flick Haywire, as she’d barely acted before. He then filled the rest of the movie with bigger names like Michael Douglas, Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas and Bill Paxton, which put a hell of a lot of weight on Carano’s shoulders to pull it off. Now the first trailer for the movie has arrived, with Carano as Beautiful freelance covert operative Mallory Kane, who is hired out by her handler to various global entities to perform jobs which governments can’t authorize and heads of state would rather not know about. After a mission to rescue a hostage in Barcelona, Mallory is quickly dispatched on another mission to Dublin. When the operation goes awry and Mallory finds she has been double crossed, she needs to use all of her skills, tricks and abilities to escape an international manhunt, make it back to the United States, protect her family, and exact revenge on those that have betrayed her. It’s currently due in cinemas January 20th, 2012.
