The first official trailer for McG’s (Terminator Salvation) new film This Means War has been released. The film follows two best friends, who also happen to be spies, played by Tom Hardy (Inception) and Chris Pine (Star Trek) who become mortal enemies when they realize they’re both dating the same woman – Reese Witherspoon.
Take a look at the trailer below:
Here’s the official synopsis for the film:
The world’s deadliest CIA operatives are inseparable partners and best friends until they fall for the same woman. Having once helped bring down entire enemy nations, they are now employing their incomparable skills and an endless array of high-tech gadgetry against their greatest nemesis ever – each other.
For us, we hope the talent here doesn’t go to waste as appears to be happening. The association with the classic Spy vs. Spy is completely obvious – they even used it in the marketing! (see image above) In fact, it appears to be nothing more than a new, more adult version of the old comic strip with a few explosions.
Although, we’ll remain optimistic that the clear talent here will be able to salvage the film into a surprising, entertaining romp. Do you think this has any potential?
