Watch the crim­i­nal­ly good first trail­er for Logan Lucky

29 May 2017

Daniel Craig, Chan­ning Tatum and Adam Dri­ver team up for Stephen Soderbergh’s heist caper.

It’s been almost three years since direc­tor Steven Soder­bergh announced his return to fea­ture film­mak­ing, and now the first offi­cial trail­er for Logan Lucky has final­ly arrived. It was well worth the long wait.

Chan­ning Tatum and Adam Dri­ver star as blue-col­lar broth­ers Jim­my and Clyde Logan, who togeth­er cook up a hare­brained scheme to rob a local NASCAR event. To help them pull off the heist they enlist the ser­vices of a noto­ri­ous local crook named Joe Bang, played by a bleach-blonde Daniel Craig, who clear­ly rel­ished the oppor­tu­ni­ty to adopt a Deep South lilt.

Judg­ing by this rol­lick­ing ear­ly teas­er, the film shares its crime caper tone with sev­er­al of Soderbergh’s ear­li­er works, most notably Ocean’s 11 and The Infor­mant!, although it’s inter­est­ing to note that the sto­ry comes via first-time Soder­bergh col­lab­o­ra­tor and debut screen­writer Rebec­ca Blunt.

Kather­ine Water­ston, Seth Mac­Far­lane, Riley Keough, Katie Holmes and Hilary Swank com­plete the star-stud­ded cast, with the film set for release August 2017.
