The latest in Hollywood’s never-ending attempt to make audiences show up for movies about girls kicking ass continues in January of next year, with the release of Haywire. The movie doesn’t involve Angelina Jolie, which doesn’t bode well for its box office chances, but you should be interested in anything with this kind of ensemble cast.

The movie stars mixed martial arts star and former America Gladiator Gina Carano, doing her own stunts no less, in an espionage thriller filled with double-crosses. But the cast they’ve surrounded her with includes heady names like Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum, and Michael Fassbender.

Here’s the first ever poster for Haywire, click the image to embiggen.



In addition to that crazy great cast, the film’s directed by Steven Soderbergh. Not exactly the kind of movie you’d expect to be released in the doldrums of January. It hits theaters on January 20, 2012 to be specific. For more onHaywire visit its page in our Blend Film Database.
