Trailer For THE MECHANIC Remake

CBS Films has unleashed the trailer, via MSN, for THE MECHANIC remake starring Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland, Tony Goldwyn. THE MECHANIC is a remake of the 1972 movie starring Charles Bronson about a contract killer about to retire when he takes on a young apprentice, but then it becomes clear that he’s double-crossed and forced to survive.
In this new take, Statham plays Bishop, Foster plays the apprentice and Donald Sutherland plays Statham’s handler…

Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a ‘mechanic’ – an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It’s a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed – he wants those responsible dead.

His mission grows complicated when Harry’s son Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop’s trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can’t turn his back on Harry’s son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.

THE MECHANIC opens January 28th, 2011
