The American – Trailer #2/George Clooney/Gorgeous George/Anton Corbijn

The second teaser trailer for George Clooney’s Italy-set action thriller, The American, has been released recycling footage from the first trailer but changing its tone a bit. Did the production company not want to give the wrong impression about their movie? It’s not some dull, movie-star travelogue or existential art-house fare – it’s an action thriller with Gorgeous George!

The American has been directed by photographer and music video director Anton Corbijn who made his debut with Control, so let’s hope it’s more than a good-looking film and not Clooney sat around sipping Nespresso and having it off with hot women in lush, bucolic surroundings.

Synopsis:

When an assignment goes wrong and a lover ends up dead, he vows that the next job will be his last. This final obligation takes him to a picturesque town nestled amongst lush Italian hills, its historical piazzas bursting with life.
