Ian McShane returns to the world of assassins in American Star trailer

December 13, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

IFC Films has released a trailer, poster and images for the upcoming thriller American Star.

Directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego, the film stars John Wick’s Ian McShane as an assassin who finds his latest assignment delayed and decides to take a vacation in Fuerteventura while waiting on the island, but upon his targets arrival everything has changed and completing his mission isn’t as easy as it once was. Watch the trailer below…

Seasoned assassin Wilson (Ian McShane) is on final assignment in the island of Fuerteventura to kill a man he has never met. But the target is delayed, and Wilson’s plans must change. Instead of following protocol and returning to London, Wilson decides to stay on the island. It’s been a long time since he’s had a vacation.

When his target finally returns, Wilson is there waiting for him in his house, as he had been a few days earlier. But in this brief time, everything has changed. He came to kill a man who he had never laid eyes on. That was easy. Now, nothing will be.

Joining Ian McShane in the cast are Nora Arnezeder, Thomas Kretschmann, and Adam Nagaitis.

American Star arrives in cinemas and On Demand on January 26th.
