Premiering at Cannes earlier this year to critical acclaim, director Denis Villeneuve’s follow up to his gruelling kidnap drama Prisoners and mind-bending Jake Gyllenhaal thriller Enemy, Sicario, a cartel drugs thriller starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benico Del Toro, has just debuted a new trailer.
This eighty five seconds is making this writer feel more excited for this movie, than he was already. The autumn release date suggests that as well as being an awesome action movie, this may very well be vying for Oscar attention too. Director Villeneuve just appears to be getting busier and busier, with another two films currently in the works – one of which is the long gestated sequel to Blade Runner, described by Harrison Ford as “the best screenplay (I’ve) ever read“. No pressure there. Until then, Sicario (Spanish for “Hitman” by the way) is released in the UK on October 9.
