Jesse Eisenberg Goes to Work in New ‘American Ultra’ Trailer
Lionsgate just released the final trailer for American Ultra. The action-comedy’s release date is so close we can almost taste it.
Starring Jesse Eisenberg as a stoner who unbeknownst to him is also a trained killer, American Ultra is the handy work of Project X director Nima Nourizadeh and writer Max Landis (Chronicle). Kristen Stewart co-stars as Phoebe, Eisenberg’s kick ass girlfriend and Topher Grace is the big bad government official who is trying to rein in Eisenberg.
In the film’s newest trailer, we learn of the government’s top secret mind control program to create super soldiers. Eisenberg is one such solider who appears to have been mistakenly activated. When the government tries to dispose of him, he fights back. As any good stoner would do, Eisenberg attempts to smoke them all. It’s basically the Bourne Identity as a comedy.
American Ultra barrels into theaters August 21. Watch the final trailer below.
