Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Very Sad And Very Angry In The First AFTERMATH Trailer

In which Arnold seeks revenge on the air traffic controller who accidentally blew up his family.

By Feb. 07, 2017

It's no secret that Arnold Schwarzenegger's post-political movie career has had its up and downs. For every Sabotage there's been a Terminator Genisys; for every Expendables 3, an Expendables 2. You win some, you lose some, I suppose, but Schwarzenegger kinda wins even when we lose. He's a one-man institution and should be respected as such (especially lately).

And now he's got a new movie on the way. Written by Enemy's Javier Gullón (!!!) and produced by Darren Aronofsky (!!!), Aftermath looks to be a slow-burning drama-thriller with a hard emotional edge. Here's the first trailer, see what you think.

That looks alright! Nothing worth getting super excited over, perhaps, but it's always a pleasure to see Arnold swinging for the fences with such heavy dramatic material, and Scott McNairy's always a reliably shifty presence. Sure, we'll check this out. Why not? 

Here's the plot synopsis, via The Playlist, just in case that trailer wasn't clear:

"Two strangers’ lives become inextricably bound together after a devastating plane crash. Inspired by actual events, Aftermath tells a story of guilt and revenge after an air traffic controller’s (Scoot McNairy) error causes the death of a construction foreman’s (Arnold Schwarzenegger) wife and daughter."

Aftermath opens on April 7th. Y'all gonna check it out or what?
