Synopsis: A personal aide to U.S. Ambassador in France, James Reece (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA. All James wants is to become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he's offered his first senior-level assignment, he can't believe his good luck until he meets his new partner, special agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta).
A trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack. Wax leads James on a white- Knuckle shotting spree through the Parisian underworld that has James praying for his desk job. But when James discovers he's a target of the same crime ring they're trying to bust, he realizes there's no turning back...and that Wax himself might be his only hope for making it through the next forty-eight hours alive.
Views About Movie: From Paris with Love, the new action thriller from director Pierre Morel (Taken) and starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers -- opens in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on February 5. To celebrate, I’ve got two prize packs to give away, courtesy of Lionsgate Films. Each pack contains a poster, T-shirt, bullet keychain, and shot glass.
Out on the publicity trail for From Paris With Love, his latest headkicking actioner starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, director Pierre Morel was happy to give Tribeca some idea of the approach he'll be taking on his next big project - they don't come much bigger - Dune.
Asked if he plans to crowbar any Taken-style action into Frank Herbert's mammoth space opera, Morel was careful to stress that Dune is "not about action, it's not the point", but did admit that he's been musing along those lines.
"I do think that there's a lot of scenes that are not described in the books, just mentioned, like the bad guys attacking something, and it might make sense to include those in the movie. That would maybe call for some action scenes, yes."Dune has, of course, defeated directors before: not least Alejandro Jodorowsky and David Lynch. The sheer weight of the novel's politics, combined with Herbert's penchant for interior monologues makes the novel a nightmare for adaptation, although the Sci-Fi Channel's two mini-series, covering the first three books, were reasonably successful.
Epic sci-fi movies kind of require giant setpieces. It's traditional! But if Morel is planning to spend significant screen time on massive Harkonnen/Sardaukar pitched battles and sandworm-mounted Fremen attacks, he runs the risk of having to drastically simplify and dumb-down his incredibly rich source material.
