With directorPatrick Hughes’The Hitman’s Bodyguardopening this weekend in theaters, I recently landed an exclusive interview withSalma Hayek. She talked about how she got involved in the project, how she created her character, filming her big action scene and how she insisted on doing her own stunts, and more.
As most of you know from the trailers, the film starsRyan Reynoldsas the world’s top protection agent who gets tasked with serving as the bodyguard for his mortal enemy, a notorious assassin played bySamuel L. Jackson. The film is an action comedy through and through and Reynolds and Jackson’s chemistry is a blast to watch. The film also starsGary Oldman.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about followed by the synopsis and red-band trailer.
Salma Hayek:
Here’s the official synopsis forThe Hitman’s Bodyguardand red-band trailer:
The world’s top protection agent [Ryan Reynolds] is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world’s most notorious hitmen [Samuel L. Jackson]. The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours. During their raucous and hilarious adventure from England to the Hague, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades and a merciless Eastern European dictator [Gary Oldman] who is out for blood. Salma Hayek joins the mayhem as Jackson’s equally notorious wife. The film will be “hitting” your theatres on August 18.
