3 DAYS TO KILL FEATURETTE (Video) – The director and cast of the upcoming spy film 3 Days to Kill talked about blending character analysis and story with a high-octane action movie.
Written by Luc Besson, the film stars Kevin Costner as Ethan Runner, a very experienced and highly skilled Secret Service agent who spends more time killing enemy terrorists rather than protecting the President. When he realizes he is slowly dying, the Woman of the Secret Service (Amber Heard) offers him an antidote, but only in exchange for one last mission. Without any other option, Ethan reluctantly takes the job, while he also tries to mend his bond with his teenage daughter (Hailee Steinfeld).
3 Days to Kill is directed by McG and also stars Connie Nielsen, Richard Sammel, and Eriq Ebouaney.
“The film has so many different elements from the genre to where we’re shooting. I would say it definitely some has exciting thriller elements, but it also has this sort of dark comedy twist.” – Hailee Steinfeld
“I think that adds to the strongest suit of them film which is its dimension. It’s not just one thing; it’s a very complete film, and those are the films that I always responded to most favorably growing up.” – McG
“I think what makes any story compelling is the human element that we all relate to, universal truths that we all connect with… You can’t get people to empathize with characters just simply because they’re in speeding cars. You have to care about whether they live or die.” – Amber Heard
“Usually an action character is pretty short on character, pretty short on story… I think the good news is we have enough of that stuff.” – Kevin Costner
PLOT: A dying Secret Service Agent trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter is offered an experimental drug that could save his life in exchange for one last assignment.
