The latest action movie to be released by Warner Home Video is that of From Paris with Love which stars John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The movie centers around Meyer’s character, James Reece who is doing everything he to become a secret agent. He enters a fast track when he meets his new partner, Wax, a CIA veteran who shows him ‘how things are done’!

Synopsis: Living an enviable life in Paris, James Reece (Meyers) works as a personal aide to U.S. Ambassador. Unsatisfied and desperate for a taste of the real action Reece snaps up the chance to take on his first real CIA mission. Partnered with wisecracking and trigger-happy special agent Charlie Wax (Travolta) in a race to stop deadly terrorists, his action fantasy fast becomes a living nightmare.

Thrust into the violent Parisian underworld, Reece finds himself in the ultimate fight for his life against the highly dangerous crime ring they’re trying to bust. In an electrifying showdown, it seems that brash, straight-talking agent Wax might be Reece’s only hope for making it through the next forty-eight hours alive…

From Paris with Love kept me entertained throughout. The storyline was nothing that we hadn’t seen before but the action sequences and creativity in the direction really did stand out from director, Pierre Morel (Taken; The Transporter). Jonathan Rhys Meyers managed to pull of his American accent for most of the movie and John Travolta plays pretty much the same character that he did in Pelham 123 except in this, he’s the good guy!

If you like action, cheesy one liners, good fight sequences, a pretty good twisting story and John Travolta kicking some butt, then this one is probably for you!

DVD Trailer

Big, bad and bald. John Travolta is taking no prisoners is his latest, From Paris With Love, and by the looks of the new poster, revealed today by Empire, Pierre Morel is gearing up for this one to be one big bang after another.

I recently watched Taken and disregarding the blurry, frantic flashback cliche it was a solid action film, with Neeson a Jack Baueresque hard man.

This film, with its rom-com title looks to be continuing that trend and we’ll be lucky if Paris has any monuments left once the film is over.

Take a look below.

A brand new red-band trailer has been released for From Paris with Love which stars John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers courtsey of BeyondHollywood.com. It’s directed by Pierre Morel who is tipped to direct the Dune.

From Paris with Love should be with us 5th March and after seeing this red band trailer, I’m not looking forward to seeing it more than I was before!

Check it out below.

Bringing Frank Herbert’s Dune to the big screen has proved consistently problematic, not least how to condense the epic spice swiping saga into an audience friendly running time but finding the right creative team is always a challenge – if David Lynch can’t do it then I don’t know who can…

Paramount Pictures think they have found their man though, according to Variety, as Peter Berg, who had been developing Dune for a while, has left the project to film his war drama Lone Survivor (as well as the bizarre adaptation of the board game Battleship – with aliens…) with Universal and to fill the hole Paramount have elected Taken director Pierre Morel to bring the world of Arrakis to life.

Josh Zetumer’s script will be given a fresh coat of paint to bring it in line with Morel’s vision, but given the weight of expectation and sheer density of Herbert’s world it will take a screenwriter of considerable talent to make it work. Morel’s latest, From Paris with Love, is turning heads with its new trailer, and should build on his reputation for fast moving action thrillers – hardly the same as a swirling space saga, but Morel is a big Dune fan which is an absolute necessity for any adaptation of this seminal work.

A new, second full-length trailer for John Travolta’s ‘From Paris With Love’ has been released on Apple. The movie is directed by Pierre Morel who has just been anounced will be directing Dune. From Paris with Love also stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Amber Rose Revah and Melissa Mars.

The short plotline says: In Paris, a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador hooks up with an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city.

From Paris with Love is scheduled for release 5th March 2010 so not too long before the mayhem begins! Watch it below or head over to Apple to view in HD.

French movie website, EuropaCorp have released two new teaser trailers for Pierre Morel’s upcoming action film From Paris with Love, starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

There are a number of films being released in 2010 which I am very much looking forward to, and this is definitely one of them. Although I am a fan of John Travolta, the main reason I want to watch this film is because of the director/producer partnership of Pierre Morel and Luc Besson. The duo have previously made District 13 and Taken, and although both movies were weak in certain areas, they were two of the most entertaining action films of the past decade. Whilst the action genre in Hollywood has suffered greatly in recent times as the major studios have pushed for watered-down, family friendly action movies, these two French filmmakers have helped fill the void for entertaining, balls to the wall, action mayhem the likes of which we used to see from Hollywood a long time ago.

Synopsis: A young embassy worker, Richard Stevens (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), and an FBI special agent, Charlie Wax (John Travolta), cross paths while working on a high-risk mission in Paris.

From Paris with Love is set for release on February 5 2010 in the USA, February 25 in Australia, and March 5 in the UK.

It’s set to be released 12th March in the UK and it looks like we might see a different side to Travolta in what looks like his comedy action role. If you’ve not seen it, check out the trailer which I posted a while ago and then click the images below to enlarge.

Synopsis: A low-ranking intelligence operative (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) working in the office of the U.S. Ambassador in France takes on more than he bargained for when he partners with a wisecracking, fast-shooting, high-ranking U.S. agent (John Travolta) who’s been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack.
