NSFW Trailer For Sharlto Copley's Insane POV Film 'Hardcore'


It's just a matter of time before someone used GoPro stunt videocams to make a first-person action thriller. 

Starring District 9's Sharlto Copley, Hardcore is the first ever action POV feature film that shows the perspective of an amenesiac cyborg billed as "you" as he fights off assassins. We never actually see his face onscreen. Copley plays multiple characters in this movie. I like how the film is pretty reminiscent of the classic first-person shooter videogames. 

This partially crowd-funded film is  being executive produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and it was written and directed by Russian filmmaker Ilya Naishuller. There's a lot of blood, violence, and profanity here so I'm going to put the NSFW label. The film was screen at TIFF this weekend. We still don't know when it will be released in theaters or online. You can watch the trailer for Hardcore below. It's pretty hardcore. I can't wait to see all of it. 

You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett).

You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, Russia and everyone wants you dead. Everyone, except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley). He might be on your side. Good luck Henry. You’re very much likely to need it…
