It seems we can’t go a few weeks without some sort of James Franco project hitting screens and next month sees him heading in a different direction. Taking part in the subgenre of Jason Statham action thrillers, Franco has turned into sociopathic methamphetamine kingpin Gator Bodine for Homefront.
Scripted by Sylvester Stallone, today brings a new red band trailer for the Gary Fleder-directed, which sees Statham playing a former DEA agent who moves to Louisiana in order to leave his violent past behind him. When Franco’s character discovers his secrets, it turns into an all-out war. This new trailer has a few violent bits, but it’s mostly a supply of f-bombs that warrants the restriction. Also starring Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth and Frank Grillo, check it out below.
Former drug enforcement agent, Phil Broker (Statham), a family man who moves off the grid with his daughter, to a seemingly quiet bayou backwater to escape his troubled past. However, Broker’s world soon becomes anything but quiet once he discovers that an underbelly of drugs and violence riddles the small town. Soon, a sociopathic methamphetamine kingpin, Gator Bodine (Franco) puts Broker and his daughter in harm’s way forcing Broker back into action in order to save his family and the town.
Homefront arrives on November 27th.
