'Haywire' UK Trailer

Last summer we saw the first trailer for Steven Soderbergh's B-movie action experiment in which MMA star Gina Carano beats the hell out of an big-name cast that includes Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas and Michael Fassbender.

The action looks fantastic and there's a definite appeal to seeing this cast and crew making film powered by what could easily be a direct-to-DVD story. But the first trailer also suggested Carano's limitations as an actress, as her dialogue scenes didn't seem nearly as powerful as the action.

A UK trailer has hit that seeks to fix that issue by paring down the same basic trailer into something that is a minute shorter. It dispenses with some dialogue and some plot revelations, and focuses on action and atmosphere. And were it not for a truly terrible voice-over, it would be a big improvement on the first US version. Check it out below.

That narration is using the same script as in the US trailer, but with delivery that almost has to be intentionally bad. It is almost a parody of DVD action trailers.

Haywire has been done for some time and will release on January 20.
