Washington And Wahlberg Team Up In The First Trailer For ‘2 Guns’

by Shawn Madden

Check out the first trailer for the upcoming adaptation of Seven Grant’s graphic novel 2 Guns. The action film, directed by Baltasar Kormakur, stars Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington as two undercover operatives from competing bureas. However, the two don’t realize each other are undercover and…well, just check out the trailer below.

Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in 2 Guns, an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent. 

For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down. When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the ground, the only person they can count on is the other. Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.

Universal’s adaptation of the graphic novel 2 Guns, starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington, will now be hitting theaters two weeks earlier and opening on August 2nd, 2013 instead of the previously slated August 16th, 2013.

A bit of bad news though, because Universal has pushed Jeff Wadlow’s big screen adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s Kick-Ass 2 from June to August 16th, 2013. This is most likely to keep it from having to compete with Legendary’s Man Of Steel.

Another movie that seems to have changed to avoid competition is The Hobbit: There And Back Again. The film was originally set to release on July 18th, 2014, which is the same date that X-Men: Days Of Future Past will hit theaters, but has now been moved back to December 17, 2014.

Edward James Olmos In Talks To Join Cast Of ‘Two Guns’

by Shawn Madden

After roles on ‘Dexter’, ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and in ‘The Green Hornet’ Variety is reporting that Olmos is in talks to play Papi Greco. Greco is a mexican druglord who will go up against the protagonists in the film.

2 Guns is a graphic novel from Boom! Studios by Steven Grant and Mat Santolouco.

“A pulp story about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between. Trench has targeted a local bank to rob, and asked Steadman in on the job. Trench figures it’s a great way to score — considering it’s a cover for mob money. They’ll be thieves ripping off thieves. But what Steadman doesn’t know is that Trench is a DEA agent. And what Trench doesn’t know is that Steadman’s a Naval Intelligence officer. They’re both cops! And neither one knows that they’re not robbing the mob, they’ve been set up to steal $50 million from the CIA! A light-hearted crime romp in the vein of Ocean’s Thirteen and The Italian Job from comics legend, Steven Grant!”

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington will star as the protagonists of the film with Baltasar Kormakur (‘Inhale’, ‘Contraband’) directing.

No release date has been set yet.
