Samuel L. Jackson as the President of the United States, a
badass little Finnish kid with a bow and arrow, and terrorists hunting them
both through the dense Scandinavian forest. That’s what you get in this new
trailer for Big Game, and it looks super awesome, like a
cross between The Hunger Games and The Most
Dangerous Game, with just a touch of Escape From New
York thrown in for the hell of it. Only instead of Snake Plissken you
get a grizzled pre-teen on a quest to become a man.
Not only is this the kind of movie I would have loved when I
was a kid—the kind where the young characters are actually both in real danger
and totally capable of saving the day on their own, like Red
Dawn—this looks totally nuts. Why are they free diving into the
wreckage of Air Force One in some frigid high-mountain lake? Why is that kid
running and jumping off of a cliff and clinging onto the bottom of a
helicopter? I don’t know the answer to any of these, or the dozens of other
questions I have, but I really, really want to find out.
This comes from Jalmari Helander, the twisted mind behind
the crazy-ass Santa Claus horror Rare Exports, so you know
things are going to get strange and brutal. There’s no U.S. release date for
Big Game yet, but if you live in Finland, or are planning a
vacation there, you can see it on March 25.
