George Clooney's "The American" - Theatrical Trailer

Here's the first trailer for the upcoming Anton Corbijn-assassin flick "The American", based from the 1990 novel A Very Private Gentleman by Martin Booth. [Trailer Below]

Alone among assassins, Jack (George Clooney) is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.

Starring George Clooney, Bruce Altman, Thekla Reuten, Violante Placido, and Paolo Bonacelli.

Ready to pull the trigger on September 1, 2010.
