We love Idris Elba here at FemaleFirst and he is set to return to the big screen in explosive new film Bastille Day.
Bastille Day
Elba is set to show off his action movie credentials once again as he teams up with filmmaker James Watkins for the first time.
Bastille Day is only the third feature film for Watkins and comes after the success of Eden Lake and The Woman in Black. This movie sees him move into the action genre for the first time in his career.
There're only a couple of weeks to go before we get to see Elba in action on Bastille Day and he stars in this great first clip from the movie. Check it out:
Elba teams up with Richard Madden for the film and the duo is joined by Kelly Reilly, and Charlotte Le Bon.
Michael Mason (Madden) is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself hunted by the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar (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 conspiracy.
Going against commands, Briar recruits Michael to use his expert pickpocketing skills to help quickly track down the source of the corruption. As a 24hr thrill ride ensues, the unlikely duo discover they are both targets and must rely upon each other in order to take down a common enemy.
Bastille Day is released 22nd April.
