Directed by Peter Berg and with a script written by Graham Roland and Lea Carpenter comes Mile 22, starring Mark Wahlberg alongside the likes of Lauren Cohan, John Malkovich, Ronda Rousey, and Iko Uwais. This week, the official red band trailer for the movie was released, along with a brilliant new poster, both of which you can check out below:
From STX International, Mile 22 tells the story of an elite American intelligence officer who has a top secret tactical command unit at his disposal. Trying to smuggle a police officer with sensitive information out of the country, he’ll of course come up against some huge challenges. It looks set to be a major thrill ride.
Chatting about the project last year at CinemaCon, Wahlberg said (according to Slash Film): “I’ve been able to make a lot of different movies in a lot of different genres, and I still don’t feel like I have the movie role that really kind of defines ‘me’. When I say me and my body of work, I’m really hoping this is the thing. I’m hoping the first thing you think of when you think Mark Wahlberg is Mile 22.”
STX President Adam Fogelsen added: “Mark and I have made three films now that are pretty heavy, to put it mildly. For us, to do Mile 22 and something that’s fictional, and what we hope to be an intelligent, adult action film that’s got a lot of muscle and intensity… It’s a piece of fiction, we’re very excited about it. We’re coming at you with a big ass action movie.”
Mile 22 comes to cinemas across the UK on August 10, 2018.
