Trailer Park: Two Fast-Paced Movie Trailers Feature a Violent ‘Companion’ and an Even More Violent ‘Working Man’
Two recent movie trailers feature robotic killers – and only one of them is Jason Statham.
We kid, of course, but Statham does another turn as a nearly silent killing machine in the trailer for A Working Man, directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad) for Amazon MGM Studios.
Statham plays Levon Cade, a former black ops agent who is trying to live a simpler life as a construction worker. When the daughter of his boss goes missing, Levon makes it his job to find her, which naturally leads to him to the seedy world of human trafficking with a side of government corruption, giving him plenty of opportunities to kick ass.
A Working Man also stars Jason Flemyng, Merab Ninidze, Maximilian Osinski, Cokey Falkow, Noemi Gonzalez, Arianna Rivas, Emmett J. Scanlan, and Eve Mauro, with Michael Peña and David Harbour. Ayer and Sylvester Stallone co-wrote the script, adapted from comic book writer Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel Levon’s Trade. Statham, Ayer and Stallone serve as executive producers.

A Working Man can be seen only in theaters beginning March 28th.
The stars of The Boys and Yellowjackets team up for the sci-fi horror-comedy Companion, and though they are a couple, this is definitely not a romance.
Sophie Thatcher plays Iris and Jack Quaid is Josh, and though we see their meet-cute in a supermarket, the trailer makes it clear this is no love story. The following twist is a spoiler only if you refuse to watch the video above: Iris is a sexbot, and Josh is her ‘owner’, and after jail-breaking Iris’ settings, things go from weird to weirder at a weekend getaway in a remote cabin.
Josh and his friends, played by Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillén, and Rupert Friend, soon find that Iris has overridden her programmed subservience, and her human captors soon find themselves running for their lives.
In the Companion trailer, Iris voiceovers that the two moments in her life when she was happiest were the day she met Josh… and the day she killed him.
Writer/Director Drew Hancock has promised there are more twists than what you see in the trailer, as the robot reveal comes early in the film.

Companion will roll into theaters on January 31st.
