When Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Ray Winstone, 50 Cent, Alexander Skarsgard, Emmanuelle Chriqui, David Zayas (Dexter), and Sam Riley round out the cast of 13, a crime thriller based around a high-stakes underground Russian roulette game, it shouldn’t take too much convincing to get you to watch the trailer; below [via Yahoo]:
Georgian director Gela Babluani returns to helm this English-language remake of his critically-acclaimed 2006 French/Georgian thriller, 13 Tzameti. Judging by the trailer above, 13 strives to be as tense and minimalist as the original, only this time loaded with ridiculous amounts of star power. A synopsis [via IMDB]:
A naive young man assumes a dead man’s identity and finds himself embroiled in an underground world of power, violence, and chance where men gamble behind closed doors on the lives of other men.
