An all-star cast from the past and present heads up the new action-thriller Hotel Artemis. The first trailer is out and it looks like a new take on John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13, maybe colliding with Atomic Blonde. It stars Academy Award winner Jodie Foster as The Nurse–the head of a members-only, exclusive, secret hospital for criminals, built on two concepts: Trust and Rules. And it all goes spy vs. spy as the bad guys must face even badder bad guys. Foster looks and sounds great as a tried and true, battle-worn healthcare worker who has clearly encountered any and all kinds of patients and circumstances over the years. Hotel Artemis–oddly enough–seems to fit right into her catalog of films like Flightplan, Panic Room, Inside Man, and Elysium.
You couldn’t ask for a more exciting cast of Hollywood’s current big names. Joining Foster, Black Panther and Marshall actor Sterling K. Brown stars as Waikiki, a thief whose team gets wounded in a robbery. That team includes his brother Honolulu, played by Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta, Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse). The real badass of the film is one of our favorites, Atomic Blonde co-star Sofia Boutella as a jet-fueled, Bruce Lee-skilled assassin. Boutella has conquered the genre with roles in Kingsman: The Secret Service, Star Trek Beyond, and The Mummy. Who else would you want in your corner but an orderly played by Dave Bautista? Chuck, DC and Marvel, Blade Runner, and James Bond–Bautista has played some great parts in cool worlds. And it doesn’t stop there. These characters must confront another bad guy group, led by a cocky villain played by Jeff Goldblum. Hotel Artemis also hosts Jenny Slate (Venom, Zootopia, Parks and Recreation, The LEGO Batman Movie), Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, Heroes), and Charlie Day (Pacific Rim, Pacific Rim: Uprising, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia).
Hotel Artemis is coming from the mind of writer/director Drew Pearce, known for writing big films like Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and Iron Man 3, plus he’s also writing the next Ghostbusters and Sherlock Holmes movie. Get ready for a trailer done just right:
