Triple 9' Red
Carpet Premiere: 'Is This The New Look of Crime?'
*EUR was on
the scene for the “Triple 9” movie premiere which was held on Tuesday, February
16 at Regal L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles.
The
premiere was a star studded event that featured Director John Hillcoat and cast
members Aaron Paul, Anthony Mackie, Clifton Collins Jr. and many more.
“Triple 9”
is the action packed crime thriller based out of Atlanta. A group of thieves
come together to rob a bank forcing them to get away in broad day light. In all
great films when a plan goes wrong a better plan gets formulated into action.
But, members of the team have their own agenda according to actor Clifton
Collins Jr. who plays the character Jorge Rodriguez the “bad cop.”
EURweb
associate Jimmy V had the chance to speak with Hillcoat on the red carpet. The
director shared how he was always fascinated with street gang culture. A few of
his inspirations came from his favorite gangster movie of all time,
“Goodfellas.” When creating this film he wanted to show the change that street
culture has gone through in the past decade. The typical mobsters in suits have
changed into thugs with tattoos and anger issues.
Actor
Carlos Aviles who has been seen in films such as "Ant Man" (2015) and
"Flight" (2012) is playing the character Fernando Rivera, the leader
of a street gang. When asked how he prepared for his role he said his
experience in the military prior to pursuing a career in acting gave him a
great place to refer too. Aviles is no stranger to tattoos as he explained that
he has over one hundred tattoos that can be seen all over his body including
his face. His character Fernando perfectly represents the street culture
Hillcoat wanted to express in "Triple 9." The film's casting team
did a great job of bringing together a diverse team that’s able to express the
difference of life with and without a badge.
This is an
action crime thriller that you don’t want to miss. "Triple 9"
officially hits theatres in North America on Friday, February, 26. Check out the footage below!
