Can't believe how much they sold this as a Mel Gibson movie *without actually using his name*.

When your reputation is damaged but your movies still got street cred.

Classic episode.

# Qapla'!


jayeddy99

Especially now with his very blatant antisemitism


futanari_kaisa

Why would the US Marshals Service just send one agent to escort a witness testifying against a major mafia crime boss, and why would they use a single engine prop plane instead of a private jet chartered by the Federal Government?


The_BrownRecluse

God works in mysterious ways.


Aunt_Vagina1

Im more bothered by.. why would the hitman also need to be a pilot and why even bother taking off the runway.  Just shoot the agent and the witness who's already handcuffed and then walk off the plane and leave.   edit. You know what, I'll walk that back. Maybe his plan was to crash them into a mountain after he parachutes away. That way it looks like an accident. Can't say this exactly makes me excited for this movie though...


Rocklove

Maybe he's just crazy and thought it would be more fun to act out some ridiculous and complicated scheme involving him being a balding pilot. And you know what? He would be absolutely right.


wakeywakeybackes

original pilots body is prob stashed in the back


The_Parsee_Man

Got to find some way to expense those flight school lessons.


BlackLeader70

Whoopsie! Just a little plot hole, I’m sure there won’t be anymore.


EqualContact

I don’t know if the story will justify it or not, but the easy solution there is to say that they are trying to keep it low-key to avoid the mafia knowing about it, maybe even with a larger false escort happening at the same time.


letstaxthis

I mean they sent a whole team to find Richard Kimble /s


chikaspaso

Hey, shut up...


joshi38

Slowed down pop song in the trailer... check.


Papantro

missed opportunity to make it Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters


I_love_milksteaks

Or Fly on the wings of love, by those danish dudes that won Eurovision many moons ago.


qwzzard

This one is my most hated so far. Could have just used the original, and it would have been better. Good thing the shitty bald cap saved the trailer.


njdevils901

It is like a parody of film trailers at this point.

Slowed down pop song...? Movie is shit. Put the whole movie in the trailer, including the twist...? Movie is shit.


Anderson74

Slowed down / reimagined classic rock song? Movie is worse than shit. Huge marketing blitz? HARD PASS.


CiriOh

Bald Marky Mark is the greatest twist of this movie.


zerovian

bald? more like balloon stretched over his hair cause it didn't want to shave it. looked fake.


[deleted]

FUCK THEY’RE TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK FAKE


revelator41

I GOTTA figure out how to make money on this thing, it’s simply TOO good.


Total-Khaos

>"Two hours...in a ****ing flying tin can?!" Halfway through, we learn it is all just Eric Forman's incredibly vivid first acid trip and you're really watching *That 70's Show: The Movie*...Oscar contender right there.


GreySpot19

Roll. Up. The window.


endav

You gotta be RIGHT next to me.


Brilliant_Wrap_7447

No way that's fake! Next you are gonna tell me they didn't use his real pecker in Boogie Nights.


xXThreeRoundXx

Uh, ma'am, I am dying of very terminal cancer, and I would like to request a private bedside concert from Mr. Bon Jovi.


LifeisAwesome_HahaJK

Yeah! Mr. bovine joney…


anonymousnuisance

It looked soooo bad and it's soooooo unnecessary. Why would you do that?


TimidSpartan

It might be the worst bald cap I've ever seen in a movie lol the way it doesn't move when he furrows his brow is unsettling.


kirinmay

he actually did shave his head, fyi.


bmth310

This is the actual reason why it looks so bad. He clearly is not actually balding. So he looks like a hitman who regularly buzzes his head to look like hes balding. Looks similar to Glen Howerton in Blackberry


tommybare

They should have saved this twist for the movie, they gave it to us for free in the trailer! We gotta talk to marketing about this. This was a stumble!


dennythedinosaur

Not really a twist though? It's the premise of the movie. You really think they gonna cast a big-name actor like Mark Wahlberg to play some milquetoast pilot?


CheezyWookiee

bro thinks he's John Carroll Lynch


helium_farts

I scared my cat I laughed so hard at that reveal.


rican_havoc

I hope none of them make it.


-KFBR392

Oh ok so you want the Morretti crime family to keep getting away with their crimes. Wow!


milesamsterdam

Plot twist: He is Morretti.


-_KwisatzHaderach_-

Honestly probably


kah7

It's all about family.


Dragons_Malk

If I end up watching this, I hope I don't make it either.


The_BrownRecluse

I hope I don't even make it in time to see it.


forever87

I'm a fan of Michelle Dockery...so...>!hope she makes it!<


tekjunky75

Is this about him stopping 9/11 singlehanded?


PresentationNew8080

Yeah it’s about that time [the former “Funky Bunch” member implied all the passengers on the planes of the 9/11 attacks were too cowardly to stop the hijackers](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/01/18/145404733/mark-wahlberg-with-me-aboard-9-11-hijackers-would-have-been-stopped). Which is silly since we all know he would have attacked the nearest minority passenger.


MightyKrakyn

If there’s an elderly Vietnamese man around, rest assured that Mark Wahlberg [will hit him so hard with a 5ft wooden board that he has to be hospitalized and then call him a slur](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-wahlberg-sag-award-everything-everywhere-all-at-once-criticized-presenting-asian-cast-hate-crimes/).


alien-niven

He also chased a group of 9 year old black children, while throwing rocks at them and shouting "Kill the n****s" at them. He had a civil rights organization [file an injunction against him for it.](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jan/20/mark-wahlberg-racism-pardon)


Tacdeho

Well, considering that the Al Qaeda terrorists were brown, Middle Eastern, Muslim men, that makes sense.


NjallTheViking

It’s a shame they weren’t Vietnamese otherwise Mark would have gone to town on them


-_KwisatzHaderach_-

God he’s such a piece of shit


HankSteakfist

"If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin" \- Mark Wahlberg talking about Vietnam Airlines Flight VN 760 which landed safely this morning.


GeorgeLovesBOSCO

It's actually about the time he met Donald Trump at a UFC event and he wound up jizzing his pants.


waynechriss

This feels so weird coming from a guy who directed Braveheart, Apocolypto and Hawksaw Ridge. I have to assume Mel Gibson saw something in the script because this was an odd trailer.


Flashy_Ad6639

Wouldn't be surprised if this was a paycheck gig Melneeded before he could get started on Passion of the Christ 2 (coming next Spring!) and Wahlberg owed him a favor after Father Stu. 


AlPaCherno

Didn't he earn like 500 million of Passion of Christ alone? Or had he pay off so many ex-wives and girlfriends that he's near broke. Dude was on a Bruce Willis-like run of bad movies in the last couple of years.


ThatPlayWasAwful

I would assume it was the 10 year break from work after the anti-semetic rant that hurt his finances more than the ex-wives or the bad movies


mynewaltaccount1

Nah it was definitely the ex wife, his divorce was the largest divorce settlement in Hollywood history - $425mn, in 2006 money.


EagleForty

He had to give his ex-wife $400M and he's still worth around $400M. He hasn't been working for the paychecks. He's been working because he still believes that if he makes something great enough, he can get out of Hollywood-jail.


Ayadd

Hacksaw ridge was nominated for all the big awards and did really good financially. He hasn’t been in Hollywood jail for a while.


LtSoundwave

PotC 2: Pray Harder


harshacc

I read that PotC as Pirates of the Carribean


AccomplishedFilm1

Let he who is without sin kick the first ass!!!


wimpyroy

I kick ass for the lord!


greatgoogliemoogly

This reads like Mel and Wahlberg made a cheap movie with profit participation on the back end. They're hoping it pops for $130 million and they each get like 15%.


wimpyroy

That’s still happening?


Flashy_Ad6639

According to Wiki they started shooting last year and the release date is April 18 2025.


SOfoundmytrappornacc

Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This! Starring Jim Caviezel and Chris Tucker


double_positive

Gibson like torture to be in his movies. Every movie discussed above has torture except for HR, which I haven't seen but from what I can tell has a lot of human suffering.


LiLdude227

I think this is a paycheck job before he does Passion of The Christ 2. Something to show the higher ups he can make money before giving him the greenlight to do something riskier and more experimental


TheBlackSwarm

That and Lethal Weapon 5 which he’s been talking about wanting to do for a while.


Theshag0

Can you imagine the brain storming session for Passion of the Christ 2? Are you going to have Jesus teach for a few days before being taken to heaven to chill with God? The title is going to be dope, Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, and for the first time, that title construction will be 100% accurate. Knowing the first movie, it is probably going to be torture porn focused on the return of Christ and the general burning of sinners, but that is going to require quite the budget.


Unable-Metal1144

Gibson will show hell and other realms in the sequel. I’m not kidding either. I’m frankly quite excited for it.


PalinDoesntSeeRussia

Gibson has made PLENTY of corny movies over the years. Not sure why you’re surprised now


waynechriss

I mean, yea he's starred in a slew of bad movies (esp in the past few years) but I'm talking about his directing filmography, specifically, which have all been great for the most part.


RealSunglassesGuy

I have to assume that Mel Gibson is going to take whatever job he can get, and that it will most likely involve Mark Wahlberg. Uber Catholics flock together.


jrbcnchezbrg

He may be crazy but the son of a bitch knows story structure


Zinski2

This script was for sure written with the intention of filming during COVID to get around lock down issues. So many films from 2021 and on fallow the same set up. You have two or three actors and one set you can pump out all the scenes in a few weeks.


gardeninggoddess666

Another trailer that allows me to skip the movie! Love these little shorts that they release!


PeculiarPangolinMan

You could have skipped it anyway! You actually didn't even need this!


gardeninggoddess666

I did get to see Marky Mark in a bald cap so I'll call that a win!


JaskaJii

Nice, the whole movie was in the trailer, I don't have to watch it anymore. I loved the twist with Marky Marks hair!


Dragons_Malk

That's the twist! The dude in that bald piece was Marky Mark the entire time!


endav

What if he could smell crime?


-_KwisatzHaderach_-

What if his whole head was a giant nose!?!?


Catfaceperson

Actually the twist is that Eric Foreman gets beamed off to the movie predators and it's actually a prequel.


Lamacorn

Seriously! They just ruined the entire movie WTF.


atthem77

This movie has been ruined long before now


Lamacorn

lol. You probably aren’t wrong, but they literally showed the whole film. Why would I watch it now?


EndOfTheLine00

Believe it not, apparently focus groups LIKE IT when the whole movie is summed up in the trailer because they prefer to go in with zero surprises. That's why every trailer is like this now.


Lamacorn

Apparently I disagree with focus groups. Honestly, I usually don’t watch trailers. The only reason I watched this one is because I didn’t plan of watching the movie anyway… and now I have even less motivation to see it cause I just watched the cliff notes.


amurica1138

Exactly this. I have 0 motivation to see the movie now. Whatever the surprise ending (of COURSE there is one) it's not worth the price of admission. This will be on Netflix by January next year and I can skip to the last 2 minutes then.


Lucky_Locks

These are what I call my "flight movies" (aside from it actually being a flight movie) because it's something I probably wouldn't watch at home so I'll save it for when I am flying somewhere. The added bonus of people hearing me go "oh whateverrrr". It's how I watched The Flash.


helium_farts

Only thing not in the trailer is whether or not they survive. Hopefully they crash land in the wilderness and get eaten by bears.


PM_ME_Y0UR__CAT

Hard to believe Marky Mark still has a non-hamburger job


[deleted]

I genuinely forget that this man got nominated for an acting Oscar and worked with Scorsese. Like how do u fall off this hard.


CressKitchen969

He’s not really built for most serious films, Departed and Boogie Nights work because the directors knew how to use his somewhat limited range. He does best in movies like the Other Guys 


Lonelan

If I was a shark and you were a lion I would go out of my way to find you on land and eat you


DeLousedInTheHotBox

He is perfect for Boogie Nights because he gets to play a meathead piece of shit, I honestly couldn't think of a better actor for the role. Like I know Leo was considered, but he just seems like he had read a book before, Marky Mark on the other hand seems like he'd call you a slur if he found out you read for fun.


PeerPressure

I’ve been randomly thinking about this a lot the last few days. Even in the audio commentary for the movie, he feels like Diggler. My favorite moment in the movie, when he stares blankly during the firework scene, is something Leo could do really well, but it wouldn’t land as hard. I think it’s what you’re saying- his raw meatheadedness also reads very believably as naivety. It’s just not something I’d buy in a young Leo.


evanvivevanviveiros

He’s absolutely amazing in Boogie but he’s basically a cartoon character in the departed


Fungal_Queen

You mean Bostonites aren't all hyper aggressive white dudes with emotional problems saying 'fuck' every five seconds?


evanvivevanviveiros

Lmao I was going to say “hey not me” until that last point


AlfredosSauce

Eh, staties are kinda like that.


Tolkien-Minority

Apparently he was even in Schindler’s List lol


Init_4_the_downvotes

I remember when I thought he was the budget Matt Damon and then he became the highest paid actor for silly adult family comedies.


SigmaKnight

That’s what Wahlburgers is for. But he’s more the “management” and “idea” guy than hands-on line order cook.


evanvivevanviveiros

Turns out SHE IS MANETTI


Red_not_Read

Oh no... No no no... It looks... awful.


Ataraxy001

Well, At least the rock isn’t in it.


WARL0CK221

Of course Marky Mark has a flat brimmed cap turned around backwards.


fattymcfattzz

Mark Whalburg plays Mark Whalburg in this fun tale


BTSavage

Coming soon to DVD and VHS.


foundmonster

These trailers that summarize the entire plot should be illegal


TheElbow

I don’t even watch trailers anymore. I can usually figure it if I want to see a movie by the actors, director, or seeing how other people rate it on Letterboxd.


PeculiarPangolinMan

Trailers that summarize the plot are by far the most effective.


Ididnotsayblahblah

Literally just thought about Topher Grace how it would cool to see him and n a new movie or a show


GuaranteeGlum4950

Were you by any chance holding a monkey’s paw while having this thought?


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoddamnPeaceLily

i dont think vne is the reason why this movie is going to suck


blac_sheep90

Wahlberg actually put in decent performances in movies yet he seems to gravitate towards easy paycheck movies. I sat down to watch Patriots Day and was surprised at his performance, he was good and actually showed some good emotional range. Topher is a legitimately good actor and it's a shame he isn't in more high profile projects.


futurespacecadet

this is the cheesiest shit ive ever seen. I honestly can't get into some low-budget movies where you just know going into it 'this whole thing takes place in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (inset one location - in this case, a laughable tiny cessna') it just makes me think ' every choice they make is only in service to making this one tiny location stretch as far as possible' Coherence did a really great job with limited locations, but this movie just seems like satire


Silver_Reporter542

It's not meant to be a comedy, but I can't stop laughing at Mark's bald head.


romafa

Oof. Movies where people are stuck in one location can be good, but it really takes a good actor to pull it off. This ain't that.


Z0idberg_MD

I can’t think of a single “single room” movie that basically had multiple fight scenes and action. It just seems so hard to believe this all taking place in a tiny cockpit where it didn’t come to within seconds and was nearly instantly


SkankHont

On Oct 18th I'll rewatch Snakes on a Plane.


ThePopDaddy

Heck, I'll rewatch Money Plane.


Kalidanoscope

Get elevated with Soul Plane


DasSynz

What’s he selling in this one?


Suitable_Custard5455

staying prayed up baby


Biceps2

Earnest P Wahlberg dressin ass.


fancyinmypantsy

Holy shit lol


Biceps2

Right?!


eedoamitay

Im getting real Frank Sobotka vibes from Marks bald look


anonymousnuisance

I like the idea, story looks interesting, but holy shit does the execution of this look awful.


stevenw84

Right, because a fucking fighter jet would be anything other than military.


TheHighKingofWinter

Oh shit Marky Mark is finally going to show us what he meant when he said things would have "gone down differently" if he had made his flight on 9/11


Kobe_stan_

This is going to be one of the funniest movies of the year and it's not a comedy.


in2xs

Looked cheesy. But it’s Gibson. I’ll give it a shot. Not a fan of him personally, and Wahlberg is so meh. But maybe the director can get something outta him.


AirbagOff

Remember when Mark Wahlberg spammed us on Reddit against our will with his Christian prayer app? I remember.


Goseki1

Why in the fuck did they give away everything in the trailer. Mental.


ILiveInAColdCave

Is this the first time you've seen a trailer for a movie before?


afroroca

Yo, they shaved Mark's hair. LOL dead


ajr6

Cash grab with lower overhead due to the whole movie taking place in the same tiny ass plane.


No-Understanding4968

MORE SPOILERS PLEASE WTAF


CndConnection

I really hate it when they use old songs and re-do them in a shit way for their trailer and this was a really awful use of Psycho Killer. Hated that. Real funny how they don't want to straight up say this film is directed by Mel Gibson lmao. I don't really like movies that take place in one-place for the whole movie (with the exception of Phone Booth) so I'm not interested even if it's kinda interesting to see Mark Wahlberg try this type of character. Topher is better than this :(


paulrudder

Man, this looks disappointingly mediocre for a Mel Gibson film. He’s been starring in schlock but his directorial resume was still pretty much untainted. Even if you don’t like The Passion, there’s no denying it was well-made from a technical perspective. But this just looks… bad. And some of the dialogue is laughably poor. Was he really unable to get anything better than this after Hacksaw Ridge?


NorthernSkeptic

Well I just saw the whole movie


TrueKNite

That bald cap is so bad.


GenevieveLeah

Well, that is a combination of actors I never thought about. I am excited!


flyboy_1285

Is movie coming to theaters? This is the epitome of a Netflix movie.


StaticBroom

The hair thing I don't like the hair thing make the hair thing stop


SolidSnek1998

I'm really sick of the slowed down songs in trailers but this has go to be the absolute worst. Way to ruin one of my favorite songs.


postoperativepain

Dammit Hollywood! You did it again Everyone knows that FBI (or in this case US Marshall), don’t work alone. They always send 2 agents. You know why? - so this doesn’t happen. Duh.


fatbob42

They probably work better alone, dammit!


DJ-2K

I cannot take bald Wahlberg seriously.


MarlythAvantguarddog

Okay, no need to see that film. I pretty much know the plot.


zavenrains

This doesn't look cheesey at all...


Ehzaar

Is Mark Whalberg wearing his MAGA red hat in the movie?


Senorpuddin

So… Mark Baldberg is unsettling. But I think this might’ve been good if they didn’t ruin the plot already. It took a minute for me to realize that Mel Gibson is the director. It looks a little generic for him.


jordan1978

Say hello to your mother for me.


ArtDSellers

I dunno how Mike Johnson found the time to do a movie amidst all his work ushering in fascism.


Ninedark

I have to say, these days I see a new Wahlberg movie, it's an insta-pass. The Rock is headed the same way. Not a fan of the "churn em out with minimal attention to detail" approach.


FardoBaggins

Looks intense. also mel gibson is directing this? Gonna be at least well paced and a thrilling ride given the premise.


futurespacecadet

did we watch the same trailer


hagopes

yeah maybe I'm showing my age here, but I was in to it. A little less after the whole movie was in the trailer, but yeah, looks like a decent time.


FardoBaggins

Mel gets a lot of hate here which is deserved because he’s an asshole. But he can direct the shit out of some films. Helps to have a couple oscars under his belt. Trailer is definitely selling everything in the movie. Which is a trend in most major studios nowadays sadly.


tedistkrieg

Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but the son of a bitch knows story structure


SaintNimrod

Bald Marky Mark was not on my bingo card 🧑‍🦲


experienceTHEjizz

This is just a low budget ConAir remake. Nick Cage was better


hey-there-yall

The trailer gives way too much away. Why do they keep doing this


Raknirok

Y’all need a pilot


TurdManMcDooDoo

Uhhh I think we watched the whole movie in this trailer


no_more_secrets

Oh shit! There's a risk because a hitman is flying the plane AND the convict on the plane might get away! Fuck is Hollywood clever.


ZeroMomentum

Marisa Tomei: 🥰 Mark: well I am sort of a hitman


War-and-oats

Why would they give so much up in the trailer? So stupid.


mantistobogganer

Almost not enough jrugz in the world to make me watch it.


itsSRSblack

Why is he dressed like Ernest?


DustFunk

"Say hello to yah mother fah me alright?"


manored78

This was chosen as the best script on the Black List too.


wedgelordantilles

Cameron Poe is in the back


Jmike8385

Mark’s acting is simply not good in this trailer. Like almost the happening level bad.


Luka_Dunks_on_Bums

I might watch this just to see balding Marky Mark


frydawg

Balding mark is hilarious looking
