“It’s a new era. You’ve gotta know when to put it down…” Quiver Distr. has revealed the official trailer for a crime comedy action thriller titled London Calling, the latest from Canadian filmmaker Allan Ungar. This initially premiered in the market at the Toronto Film Festival last year, and it’s now ready for release in theaters in September later this year. After fleeing the UK from a job gone wrong, a down on his luck hitman is forced to babysit the son of his new crime boss and show him how to become a man. This sounds a bit like a new spin on the same story from Léon: The Professional, where this grizzled hitman has to watch over a kid and train him in the ways of being an assassin. Although this looks more like a direct-to-TV remake than anything actually worth watching. London Calling stars Josh Duhamel as Tommy Ward, Rick Hoffman, Aidan Gillen, Arnold Vosloo, Neil Sandilands, and Jeremy Ray Taylor as Julian. This kid looks fun.
