If you saw Serenity then you know that in addition to being a fantastic actor, Chiwetel Ejiofor can kick an amazing amount of ass. Now he’ll attempt to do it somewhere besides the cold, dark reaches of Joss Whedon’s outer space in a new dramatic fighting movie from David Mamet called Redbelt.
But to me, the really interesting thing about the movie isn’t Ejiofor, even though I’m a fan of everything the guy does. It’s Tim Allen who apparently has a significant role in the movie… even though it’s most certainly not an awful Disney comedy. Apparently, Tim Allen wants to be taken seriously as an actor, and somehow he’s talked Mamet into helping him do it.
The movie’s first trailer has just popped up online, and now you won’t have to spend the first thirty seconds of it wondering “What the hell is that Tim Allen doing Mamet?” It is Tim Allen. Watch it here.
