Check Out The First Trailer For 'Renegades'

 

Placing the Oscar-winning J.K. Simmons in the role of a no-nonsense army chief Renegades takes place in 1995 Sarajevo, where a crack team of SEALs fly off the radar in a bid to recover a stash of lost Nazi gold from the icy depths of the Bosnian lake. Complicating matters is the fact that they’re deep within enemy territory, setting the stage for nail-biting chase sequences, firefights, and plenty of explosive set-pieces.

Hatched by Luc Besson and Richard Wenk, EuropaCorp is the studio behind the action-thriller, and even from the reveal trailer alone, it’s clear that Besson and co. are looking to tap into a similar over-the-top action glimpsed across the Taken franchise and even the Denzel Washington-fronted actioner, The Equalizer. Recruiting J.K. Simmons is certainly a good place to start, and here we see the actor flanked by a cast comprised of Sullivan Stapleton, Charlie Bewley, Diarmaid Murtagh, Alain Blazevic, Sylvia Hoeks, Joshua Henry, Dimitri Leonidas, Denis Lyons.

Directed by Steven Quale, Renegades storms theaters on February 3, 2017.
