'Dead Man Down' Trailer: Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace Tangled in Deadly Revenge

Director Niels Arden Oplev and actress Noomi Rapace found great success across the globe with the trilogy of films based on Steig Larsson's Millennium novels, beginning with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. The duo has reunited for Dead Man Down, a revenge tale in which Rapace plays a woman who coerces hit man Victor (Colin Farrell) into helping her execute a revenge plot.

The first trailer for the film is now online; check it out below.

Before you hit "play," note that the audio sync on this version is a bit off; when we can upgrade with a better update we will. There's also the question of just how much this trailer gives away, but in the mode of many modern thriller trailers, I'd expect that this shows less than it seems.

Dead Man Down opens on March 8.

Following the cinematic phenomenon The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, acclaimed filmmaker Niels Arden Oplev and brooding beauty Noomi Rapace reunite for another thrilling tale of vengeance. Colin Farrell joins the prestigious team as brave enforcer Victor, right hand man to an underground crime lord in New York. He seeks to avenge the death of his wife and daughter caused by his boss. When his employer is threatened by a mysterious killer, Victor also becomes detective. Victor is seduced and blackmailed by Beatrice (Noomi Rapace), a victim turned avenger whose intense chemistry leads them spiraling into payback delivered in violent catharsis. FilmDistrict will release Dead Man Down in limited theaters on March 8th this winter.

Quentin Tarantino once talked about possibly making a Luke Cage movie. Thanks to MTV.

Robert Downey Jr. was in Los Angeles this weekend and Screenrant reports on him talking about Shane Black's relationship to Iron Man before he directed the third film:

I adore him. I've been a fan of Shane Black since I saw 'Lethal Weapon.' When we were doing the first Iron Man, Jon Favreau and I used to call up Shane Black. We had two lifeline calls; one was to J.J. Abrams, which was about the third act. And for the other call, we went to Shane's house.

For instance, in the 'Iron Man' scene where Tony Stark comes back from captivity and calls a press conference, and then asked everybody to sit down, the speech Stark gives all came from Shane Black. So to get him to do 'Iron Man 3,' it has just been this awesome experience and one of my favorite working experiences. 'Iron Man 3? is going to be a very, very bold genre film, from the storytelling.

Too cool. Artist Cathryn Lavery at Calm the Ham (via IO9) traced the history of the Batman Logo.

Here's a great image set taking you through the full Dark Knight exhibit on display in Los Angeles.

Samuel L. Jackson appeared on Stan Lee's World of Heroes to talk Nick Fury and more.

On Location Vacations (via Superhero Hype) mentions that some Amazing Spider-Man 2 casting calls have begun to spoil a few scenes.

Iron Man 3 is being showcased at an even in Singapore and Comic Book Movie found the photos.

Speaking to Empire Magazine, Jonathan Nolan confirmed that using the name "Robin" at the end of Dark Knight Rises was a "gag" and talked Justice League excitement.
