Going under its original title in the UK, we’ve got a new trailer and poster for Mel Gibson‘s Get the Gringo. Icon will release it as How I Spent My Summer Vacation in May and this new teaser is much more brief than the full-length one revealed last last month. We have Gibson driving in a car with a clown suit and a matching passenger, as well as someone exploding from a grenade. My only hope is the whole film has this crazy edge, instead of falling into derivate territory. Directed by Gibson’ Apocalypto and Edge of Darkness second-unit director Adrian Grunberg, the action film is going straight to VOD here in the states, unlike over in the UK where it will bow May 11th. Check it out below along with the new poster.
Synopsis:
Gibson plays Driver, who, during a high-speed car chase with the U.S. Border Patrol and a bleeding body in his back seat, crashes into the border wall as he tries to escape. He survives, only to be placed inside a hard-core Mexican prison where he enters the strange and dangerous world of “El Pueblito.” There, he finds unlikely survival guidance from a 10-year-old kid who shows him the ropes.
Get the Gringo hits DirectTV on May 1st for $10.99, with an expanded roll-out to follow.
