Studio Canal’s first trailer for Gunpowder Milkshake has got people talking. We’ve Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Michelle Yeoh, Angela Basset, and Carla Gugino in an absolutely sparkling cast.
The action keeps coming. As trailers often do these days, this teaser flickers to life with some short scenes before settling in for an introduction and ramping up the drama again.
Studio Canal describe the film;
Sam (KAREN GILLAN) was only 12 years old when her mother Scarlet (LENA HEADEY), an elite assassin, was forced to abandon her. Sam was raised by The Firm, the ruthless crime syndicate her mother worked for. Now, 15 years later, Sam has followed in her mother’s footsteps and grown into a fierce hit-woman.
But when a high-risk job goes wrong, Sam must choose between serving The Firm and protecting the life of an innocent 8-year-old girl – Emily (CHLOE COLEMAN). With a target on her back, Sam has only one chance to survive: Reunite with her mother and her lethal associates, The Librarians (MICHELLE YEOH, ANGELA BASSETT and CARLA GUGINO).
These three generations of women must now learn to trust each other, stand up to The Firm and their army of henchmen, and raise hell against those who could take everything from them.
The movie is heading to Netflix in the States, with the streaming giant having bought the rights this year. It’s expected to run in July.
