"Did he just hit me with a motorcycle? Now that's just disrespectful." Lionsgate has revealed the first trailer for an action thriller comedy called The Killer's Game, directed by the stuntman turned filmmaker J.J. Perry (he also made the vampire film Day Shift with Jamie Foxx a few years ago). This will be landing in theaters in September after the summer season wraps - not a good sign. A veteran assassin is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness with limited time left and authorizes a kill on himself. After ordering the kill, an army of former colleagues pounce and a new piece of information comes to light – he's not really going to die. Insanity ensues, of course, as usual when all the assassins come out of the woodwork. Dave Bautista stars as Joe Flood, known as "The Slugger", who gets caught up in this mess. "Will the Slugger have what it takes to outrun the competition?" This also co-stars Sofia Boutella, Terry Crews, Scott Adkins, with Pom Klementieff, and Ben Kingsley. Looks mildly fun? Maybe? "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for J.J. Perry's The Killer's Game, direct from Lionsgate's YouTube:

In this action-comedy The Killer's Game, when top hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands – by taking a hit out on himself.

The Killer's Game is directed by stuntman turned filmmaker J.J. Perry, making his second film after directing Day Shift previously; plus lots of work as a second unit director and stunt coordinator / stuntman on many big Hollywood features (Beowulf, Edge of Darkness, Get the Gringo, Gangster Squad, Ender's Game, John Wick, Skyscraper, F9). The screenplay is written by James Coyne, Simon Kinberg, Rand Ravich; adapted from Jay Bonansinga's novel "The Killer's Game". Produced by Kia Jam, Andrew Lazar, Steve Richards. A Mad Chance & Endurance Media movie, in association with Dogbone Entertainment, K. Jam Media and Lipsync.
