James Wan (dir. Saw, Dead Silence) move into the Death Wish-style revenge action/exploitation realm with Death Sentence, starring Kevin Bacon.

Look bad ass - I'm going to have to make it a double feature (with RZ's Halloween) on August 31st!

Sorry __V__

I read your threads, but sometimes there's just too much info for me to absorb it all.

And I think this dude has some talent and more people should see his films.

From Comic Con at San Diego -

Fox Atomic the studio unveiled its new trailer for the revenge thriller "Death Sentence" and some exclusive new footage.

Introduced by director James Wan [of 'Saw' fame], this "Death Wish"-style thriller casts Kevin Bacon as an ordinary family guy who seeks revenge following a family tragedy.

A psychological thriller, the first clip showed the set up and circumstances that lead to the main plot of the film, set in a gas station. Other clips reveal much gunfire, a shoot out and a clip called ‘From Bathroom to Banister'.

The film looks visually dazzling and kinetic and could propel the Saw director into a major A-list director. The film opens on August 31.

This looks interesting, but it looks like a movie I'd enjoy more at home, so I'm seeing Halloween instead, the only time I've been able to see Michael on the big screen was Resurrection, and that was disappointing.
