If Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy can’t think of a premise for their Before Midnight follow-up in nine years time, we’ve got the ideal solution thanks to the trailer for a new thriller. In Getaway, Hawke’s wife gets kidnapped and he must retrieve her, with the film of Selena Gomez.
Coming from Courtney Solomon, the Canadian director who gave us Dungeons & Dragons, the middling first trailer and Labor Day weekend release have us justifiably worried about the prospects, but putting a talented actor like Hawke in a Taken-esque role can’t be the worst thing. Check out the trailer, which baffingly tries to hide Jon Voight‘s face, below, as well as the poster.
Getaway opens on August 30th.
