THE OLD GUARD Premieres July 10th on Netflix
Adapted from a graphic novel (fancy way of saying "comic book") by Greg Rucka, "THE OLD GUARD" is stars Charlize Theron (in a return to her uber-chic "Aeon Flux" short-hair) as the leader of a team of immortal mercenaries, with this 1 hour+58minuter feature oner directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood.
And while I've not read the comics, I'm totally down with the "Highlander"-notion (but without the lobbing off of heads) of "immortality". And the "ax", the ax really helped my visual digestion LOL
Scheduled for a July 10th premiere on Netflix, featured here today are TWO trailers, and a featurette "From Comics To Screen". You might want to click on over to POPCORNX for more content, including THIS selection of CLIPS.
Also included at the bottom of this blogpost are links to purchase the comics on Amazon, with this the ONLY way I will be earning from my blogging efforts, THANK YOU :)
DESCRIPTION: "Forever is harder than it looks. Led by a warrior named Andy (Charlize Theron), a covert group of tight-knit mercenaries with a mysterious inability to die have fought to protect the mortal world for centuries. But when the team is recruited to take on an emergency mission and their extraordinary abilities are suddenly exposed, it’s up to Andy and Nile (Kiki Layne), the newest soldier to join their ranks, to help the group eliminate the threat of those who seek to replicate and monetize their power by any means necessary. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (LOVE & BASKETBALL, BEYOND THE LIGHTS), THE OLD GUARD is a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks."
