2014 is going to be the year of Sam Jackson helping out keen killers, before he gets back to superheroes next year with Captain America 2 and Avengers Assemble. We just posted the first pic of him in Barely Lethal, where he’s mentoring Hailee Steinfeld, and now we have a trailer and clip for Kite, where he’s dealing with India Eisley’s assassin.
The film is about a young woman (Eisley) who lives in a failed nation state after the financial collapse, where a corrupt security force profits on the trafficking of young women. When her policeman father is killed, she vows to track the murderer down with the help of his ex-partner. In the original anime the film is based, she is initially helped by the two corrupt cops on the case of the double homicide, Akai and Kanie, who take her in as guardians and end up turning her into an assassin.
As you can see from the trailer, it’s a heavily stylised movie, which will be in cinemas later this year.
