The first trailer for American Ultra showed a lot of promise for the Max Landis scripted offbeat action comedy, gleefully subverting the usual action cliches with Jesse Eisenberg playing a CIA sleeper agent who has fallen deep into his cover as a go nowhere stoner. Two new, rather trippy posters, including a fake cover for comic book Apollo Ape, which figures in prominently into the plot, specially made for San Diego Comic-Con have come our way courtesy of i09, showing how fun this movie will be.
Released: 21st August (U.S.)/ 28th August (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: Mike (Jesse Eisenberg), a seemingly hapless and unmotivated stoner whose small-town life with his live-in girlfriend, Phoebe (Kristen Stewart), find his life suddenly turned upside down. Unbeknownst to him, Mike is actually a highly trained, lethal sleeper agent. In the blink of an eye, as his secret past comes back to haunt him, Mike is thrust into the middle of a deadly government operation and is forced to summon his inner action-hero in order to survive.
