Colombiana 2011 Trailer

[Daisy Hughlett]

Never forget where you came from!" Columbia Pictures has debuted the first official trailer on Yahoo for Colombiana, the action flick starring Zoe Saldana from producer Luc Besson that's hitting theaters later this year. This is one of those movies I've been waiting to see a trailer for, ever since we debuted those first look photos, I knew this would be something exciting. It's basically a movie about if Zoe Zaldana were a badass James Bond/Jason Bourne combination, but female, and from Colombia. I just love this trailer, its got lots of energy and style, it's unique and entertaining, I'm totally there opening night. Check this out now!

Written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen (who also wrote Taken and Transporter 3), Colombiana is set in Latin America and follows a young woman who, after witnessing her parents' murder as a child in Bogota, grows up to be a stone-cold assassin. Cat (Saldana) works for her uncle as a hitman by day, but her personal time is spent engaging in vigilante murders that she hopes will lead her to her ultimate target: the mobster responsible for her parents' death. From this trailer alone, it looks like it'll be awesome, and we'll let you know when we've got more. Sony Pictures has Colombiana scheduled for release September 2nd this fall.

I can't remember the movie I was actually in the theater to see at the time, strangely enough, but I remember that trailer: the frenetic cuts, the percussive beats of the action and dialogue, the indelible image of Zoe Saldana in that skin-tight, matte black catsuit. I'm a sucker for a well-edited action trailer, and this one was, as Tony the Tiger would say, grrrreat.

But then, somehow, I missed it during its initial run. Perhaps I was too busy at the time, or maybe the local release was just an abbreviated one. Whatever the reason, I didn't get a chance to see Colombiana until this year, reminded of its existence by a friend with likeminded tastes.

Cataleya (Amandla Stenberg as a child, Zoe Saldana as an adult) is irrevocably changed when she watches her parents die, gunned down by a mob boss' enforcers, men led by Marco (Jordi Molla). Escaping their bloody fate, she flees from Bogot, Colombia to Chicago, where she seeks out her uncle Emilio (Cliff Curtis), an underworld heavy in his own right.

What ever is a girl to do? Load up on machine guns, explosives, and well-trained attack dogs, of course. In true action film tradition, it all culminates in a vicious, unmerciful, no-holds-barred last stand with a very high body count.

So many action flicks feature burly, muscular men on a mission for justice following the tragic death of their partner/wife/parent/child/beloved dog. Flipping the tables and giving this story to a woman is a nice change of pace, and it adds some interesting gender dynamics you wouldn't have with a male lead.

When Cataleya watches her parents die, frozen at the kitchen table in her prim school uniform, the pain in her eyes makes your gut clench. And when she escapes moments later, it's hard not to stand up and cheer for her courage. From her very first scene, it's clear that this is a girl who knows how to survive and will be tireless in the pursuit of her goals.

Zoe Saldana is also one of the most accomplished female action stars to make a mark in recent years. She's so good at the fight choreography and weapons play that you're wholly convinced she's dangerous, regardless of her slim dancer's physique and pretty face.

Angie Barry wrote her thesis on the socio-political commentary in zombie films. Meeting George Romero is high on her bucket list, and she has spent hours putting together her zombie apocalypse survival plan. She also writes horror and fantasy in her spare time, and watches far too much Doctor Who. Come find the angie bee at Tumblr.

Olivier Megaton is set to direct Taken 2, but before that his movie Colombiana will be in theaters. The assassin/revenge film stars Zoe Saldana and is cut more from the La Femme Nikita and The Professional mold than the Taken template. Luc Besson's fingerprints are all over this one, and no wonder, given that he co-wrote with Robert Mark Kamen. Check out the trailer after the jump.

This plays like an alternate version of the O-Ren Ishii story from Kill Bill, filtered through Luc Besson's own particular interests. And that's probably fine, mostly because Zoe Saldana looks perfectly competent as a troubled, determined and lithe killer.

At this point we should all know exactly what to expect from the Luc Besson action movie machine: straight-up stories, a few archetypical characters with a unique tweak or two, and big-time action that is vaguely, but only very vaguely, grounded in reality. Based on this operatic trailer, that's exactly what Colombiana offers.

La cineasta colombiana Camila Beltrn era una chica de 13 aos en 1996, cuando Bogot vivi con nerviosismo una fecha que pareca diablica, y de ese recuerdo sac la inspiracin para rodar "Mi bestia", presentada este viernes en el Festival de Cannes.

"Mi bestia" es la pera prima de Beltrn, que ha hecho pelculas experimentales hasta la fecha, y ha sido montadora del prximo filme del colombiano Csar Acevedo, premiado en Cannes como mejor director novel en 2015 por "La tierra y la sombra".
