CBS Films has released a new Red Band movie trailer from their upcoming action film Faster. The George Tillman Jr.-directed revenge thriller stars Dwayne Johnson as "an ex-con pursued by cops and killers as he sets out to avenge his brother's death." Looks like your typical revenge action thriller, but I enjoy The Rock when it isn't a kid's film and I'll see anything that has Clint Mansell's score.

Scripted by Joe and Tony Gayton.
Official Plot Synopsis:
After 10 years in prison, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) has a singular focus - to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment. Now a free man with a deadly to-do list in hand, he's finally on his mission…but with two men on his trail - a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) just days from retirement, and a young egocentric hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent. The hunter is also the hunted. It's a do or die race to the list's finish as the mystery surrounding his brother's murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver's list may be incomplete.
Dwayne Johnson (Gridiron Gang, The Scorpion King, The Mummy Returns), Billy Bob Thornton (Eagle Eye, Monster's Ball) and newcomer Oliver Jackson-Cohen star alongside Carla Gugino (Watchmen), Maggie Grace (Taken) and Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) in Faster, a co-production between CBS Films, the film division within CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS), and TriStar Pictures, a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment. George Tillman Jr. (Notorious, Men of Honor, Soul Food) directs from a screenplay written by Joe and Tony Gayton. Faster wrapped principal photography in April 2010 and is scheduled to release in US theaters November 2010.
The film is produced by Castle Rock Entertainment's Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer, along with Tony Gayton and State Street Pictures' Robert Teitel. Joe Gayton and Dara Weintraub are executive producers.
