Jean Reno Back In The Luc Besson Fold For L'IMMORTEL (22 BULLETS)

To a certain extent Jean Jeno and Luc Besson will always be linked in the minds of film lovers.  Reno's performance as the lead in Besson's 1994 international breakout hit Leon (The Professional) made both of their reputations in North America but, surprisingly, they have scarcely worked together since. Since Leon Besson and Reno have been involved in only two films together - 2004's Crimson Rivers 2 and 2001's Wasabi - but a third title is about to be added to that list.

Produced by Besson's Europa Corp and directed by Richard Berry - a veteran actor who plays a part in the film as well as being credited with the screen play - upcoming crime drama L'Immortel (22 Bullets in the English speaking world) puts Besson back in the lead.

After a long, brutal and successful career in the Marseille mafia, Charly Matteï has gone straight. For three years, he has lived a quiet life devoted to his wife and two young children. Then, one winter morning, he is left for dead on the docks of the old port with 22 bullets in his body. Somehow he survives. And goes looking for Tony Zacchia, the only man who would dare to try to kill him. Zacchia made just one mistake: he failed.

The theatrical trailer for this one has arrived on the scene and it's looking like solid, stylish stuff. Check it below.
