The first trailer from Anton Corbijn‘s The American has been released. The film stars George Clooney, Bruce Altman, Thekla Reuten, Paolo Bonacelli and Violante Placido. I loved his last film, Control. This looks just as good, one of my most anticipated films of the year. Check it out below or over at Yahoo in HD.
Plot: Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.
The American hits theaters Sept. 1st via Focus Features.
