Max Landis of “Chronicle” wrote the script. Nima Nourizadeh of “Project X” fame served as director.
The trailer looks like a lot of fun, and “Adventureland” co-stars Eisenberg and Stewart exhibit the same loose, easy chemistry they did in that movie.
“American Ultra” hits the big screen on August 21.
This is our first time seeing Eisenberg in such a character, with Stewart playing an important but more subdued supporting role, and from what we can tell from this new trailer it really works.
The dream team that is Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart are finally reunited, and thus far, the promotion for the duo’s stoner crime caper American Ultra has been fantastic.
Eisenberg plays Mike Howell, who is a sleeper agent activated while working at a mini-mart, suddenly capable of taking out two other agents with merely a spoon he was prepared to use for his cup-o-noodles.
