Statham’s ‘Hummingbird’ Becomes ‘Redemption’ In New Poster & Trailer
8 May 2013 12:13 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Jason Statham’s latest Hummingbird, directed by Steven Knight, has taken on a much more generic title in the form of Redemption. To accompany its name change we also have a brand new trailer and poster (which just changes the title) to show you. The film sees Statham as a homeless veteran taking on a new identity and trying to rebuild his life, but with some excellent fighting skills, the unsavoury characters of London are out to get him. The title change isn’t exactly that important, but it is a shame in that this film certainly seems slightly different to Statham’s usual action output. Perhaps it’s the gritty London locales, the emotional conflict running through Statham, or because this is Knight’s directorial debut after writing the wonderful Dirty Pretty Things and Eastern Promises. Time will tell if this will give us something new, or if it »

Redemption a.k.a. Hummingbird given a new trailer & poster
7 May 2013 10:20 PM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Personally, I think Hummingbird had a nice ring to it as opposed to the new domestic title of Redemption for the Jason Statham action thriller. It was intriguing, and could have cemented the film into intrigued fans' minds better than Redemption, which comes off sounding like a film focusing on the priesthood. Moving on... The Steven Knight-written-and-directed film opens June 28th via Roadside Attractions, and also includes Ian Pirie, Vicky McClure, Siobhan Hewlett, Benedict Wong, Senem Temiz and Lee Asquith-Coe.

Statham Sparks As ‘Crazy Joe’ In French ‘Hummingbird’ Poster
29 April 2013 2:04 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
We’re expected a more emotionally dramatic turn from Jason Statham with Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight’s directorial debut Hummingbird. Although from the look if this French poster (blazing the alternative title of Crazy Joe), you wouldn’t think it was any different to his usual action output.
Hummingbird follows an ex-Special Forces soldier, Joey Jones, who has recently returned from Afghanistan but finds himself with a desperate position, along with his pregnant girlfriend, of being homeless and living amongst the garbage-filled back alley’s of London. However, after a run in with an urban gang he luckily finds work as an enforcer for the criminal underworld but reinvents himself as a nothing-to-lose vigilante when his lover’s body, carrying his unborn child, is found dumped.
Hummingbird is released in the UK on the 28th June and co-stars Vicky McClure, Benedict Wong, Siobhan Hewlett, Christian Brassington and Ian Pirie. »

Check out the fifth poster, a French version for Lionsgate's Hummingbird ("Crazy Joe"), starring Jason Statham in the Steven Knight thriller. Well. at least this one's more interesting, and colorful and the other somewhat boring posters we've added for the film. Also with Ian Pirie, Vicky McClure, Siobhan Hewlett, Benedict Wong, Senem Temiz and Lee Asquith-Coe., Hummingbird stars Statham as a damaged ex-Special Forces soldier on the run from a military court martial who navigates London's criminal underworld, and seizes an opportunity to assume another man's identity -- transforming into an avenging angel in the process. »

Living on the streets after going on the run from a military court-martial, Joey (Statham) is a damaged ex-special forces soldier trapped in London’s criminal underworld. But when opportunity enables him to assume another man’s identity, he is transformed into an avenging angel.
Statham is joined by Vicky McClure (This Is England, Broadchurch), Agata Buzek (The Reverse), Siobhan Hewlett (Irina Palm), and Benedict Wong »

Updated Official Trailer For Statham’s Thriller ‘Hummingbird’
24 April 2013 3:02 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Previously, we bought you the first stylish poster for Jason Statham vigilante thriller, Hummingbird, with the Brit star teaming up with Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight, who’s making his directorial debut. The emotionally brutal film will be unlike most efforts starring the action hero, with a dark story centring on an ex-Special Forces soldier returning from Afghanistan, who comes home to discover he’s homeless and his pregnant girlfriend is soon murdered. Unhinged on the streets of London, he makes it his mission to wash away the scum of the city. We’re thinking Taxi Driver meets Death Wish.
Hummingbird is now released in the UK on the 28th June and co-stars Vicky McClure, Benedict Wong, Siobhan Hewlett, Christian Brassington and Ian Pirie. Check out the official trailer below:

Re-Viewed: Danny Boyle's near-perfect sci-fi masterpiece 'Sunshine'
14 April 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
There's a tiny moment in Danny Boyle's 2007 sci-fi thriller Sunshine in which Michelle Yeoh's biologist finds a tiny green plant growing from the ashes in her spaceship's oxygen-supplying botanical garden that was burnt to a crisp. As Boyle explained to this writer at the time: "It's a very potent image, I think, a regeneration out of the ashes."
The same could be said of the movie itself. Upon release, this tale of a group of scientists trying to save the Earth by reigniting a failing sun failed to shine at the box office or make a significant cultural impact. Yet it was recently described as the Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting director's "most misunderstood and underrated film" by influential critic Mark Kermode in his BBC blog.
But why was this British movie, described by this writer's 2007 Digital Spy review as "a fantastically enjoyable film that works our minds, delights »
New Green-Band Kick-Ass 2 Trailer
9 April 2013 4:15 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Kick-Ass 2 will allow audiences to see its cast kick at least two bottoms - perhaps even more - come its release on July 19, but for the time being we're going to have to make do with stills, posters, TV spots and trailers; trailers like this new green-band number, which you can check out below.Of course, with this being a green-band trailer, there's zero blood or f-bombs (or c-bombs, of course), but there are dogs biting baddie's bits - as played by Benedict Wong, a.k.a. Prime from the Countdown episode of The It Crowd - and the word bitch. Also, some feet being placed firmly on people's rear ends. Ass kicking, if you will.There's also a bit more humour, a bit more Carrey, and less of the Hit Girl emphasis we've seen before. And don't worry, you can expect another red-band trailer before too long...In case you were wondering, »
