SICARIO Hits Theaters September 18 – Check Out The New Trailer And Character Posters

Debuting at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, here’s a look at the new trailer and posters for SICARIO.

From director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Incendies) comes a searing emotional-thriller that descends into the intrigue, corruption and moral mayhem of the borderland drug wars.

When Arizona FBI agent and kidnap-response-team leader Kate Macer (Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt) uncovers a Mexican cartel’s house of death, her shocking find leads to profound consequences on both a personal and global level.

Kate is recruited to join a covert black-ops mission headed by a mysterious Colombian operative known only as Alejandro (Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro, Best Supporting Actor, Traffic, 2000) along with special agent Matt Graver (Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin, Best Supporting Actor, Milk, 2008).

Even as Kate tries to convince herself she’s on a hunt for justice, she is thrust into the dark heart of a secret battleground that has swept up ruthless cartels, kill-crazy assassins, clandestine American spies and thousands of innocents.

The jagged line of the U.S. and Mexican border is now awash in some of the most pressing questions of our times – drugs, terror, illegal immigration, corruption and an escalating swath of dark crime that has left people on both sides frightened and vigilant.

Sicario explores the journey of an intelligence operation that pushes the rules to engage with those who don’t play by any.

Written by Taylor Sheridan, the behind-the-scenes team, who bring to life the unseen no-man’s-land that lies on, and below, the U.S.-Mexico border, includes eleven-time Oscar nominated Director of Photography Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC (True Grit, 2010; No Country for Old Men, 2007), Oscar nominated Production Designer Patrice Vermette (The Young Victoria, 2009; Prisoners, C.R.A.Z.Y.), Oscar-nominated Editor Joe Walker, ACE (12 Years a Slave, 2013), Visual Effects Supervisor Louis Morin, Costume Designer Renée April (Prisoners, The Day After Tomorrow), Casting by Francine Maisler, and Music by Oscar nominated composer Jóhann Jóhannsson (The Theory of Everything, 2014; Prisoners).

Varèse Sarabande will release the SICARIO – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally and on CD September 18, 2015, the same day that the Lionsgate film premieres in limited release, before opening wide on September 25.
