We’ve got our hands on a preview clip of Bastille Day, the upcoming action thriller movie directed by James Watkins and Jill Gagé and starring Idris Elba and Richard Madden:
Bastille Day – Rooftop chase
“Michael Mason (Richard Madden) is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself in the hands of the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar (Idris Elba), the field agent on the case, soon realizes that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale criminal conspiracy in the heart of the police force.
Going against commands, Briar recruits Michael to help quickly track down the source of the corruption. As a 24hr chase ensues, the unlikely duo discover they are both targets and must rely upon each other in order to take down a common enemy.”
Roofs in Paris make for great parkour material!
Anyway, there’s also a first TV spot:
Bastille Day – We’ve got a job to do!
In theaters: April 22, 2016.
