Wolverine vs. Obi Wan in DECEPTION trailer

Formerly known as The Tourist, the newly titled Deception is a thriller from the screenwriter of last year's Die Hard movie and with an all star cast that includes Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams & Maggie Q and for whatever reason it has been very quietly promoted up until this point. In fact it was January 2007 when we last spoke about the movie when set photos of Jackman and Williams leaked from filming. In the movie Hugh Jackman plays Wyatt, a powerful lawyer who introduces Jonathan (McGregor) to a mysterious sex club known as the List. Once there Jonathan finds the girl of his dreams but when she goes AWOL he is accused of her suspected murder and theft of $20 million.

Typically for this film, the trailer has received a very quiet release which you can find HERE.

Walking that thin line of being Brian De Palma ridiculous and a sexy Paul Verhoeven thriller, the movie might be watchable simply because of the talent involved. I like how great Hugh Jackman's villainy character feels in this. I do believe some of the most interesting parts of his career where when he felt downright despicable in parts of The Prestige.

I'm sure to most this will be a "wait for rental affair" and it probably is to me too. Marcel Langenegger directs as his debut movie and I wonder how many of his actors he convinced to go nude, for the "artistic benefit" of the picture.
