The official trailer for director Simon West's upcoming action thriller Stolen (formerly known as Medallion) has been released, via Yahoo! Movies.
Millennium Entertainment upcoming action flick stars Nicolas Cage as Will Montgomery, a former master thief who is released from prison after serving an eight-year stretch for stealing $10 million in bearer bonds.
Cage reteams with his Con Air director West; Malin Akerman plays Cage's ex-girlfriend with whom he teams up to find his daughter, while a long-haired Josh Lucas, the cab driving former partner who has kidnaps Will's daughter, plays the antagonist in this Taken similar movie.
Stolen, set during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, is set to arrive in theaters on September 14th, 2012.
Here's the official synopsis:
Will Montgomery is a master thief who after being double-crossed in a heist gone awry is sent to prison for 8 years. Upon his release he's ready to leave his criminal past behind and try to rebuild a relationship with his estranged daughter Allison. The FBI and his old cohorts believe that he hid the loot from the last heist eight years ago, $10 million in bonds. To get his hands on it, his old partner Vincent kidnaps Allison and demands the entire $10 million as ransom. Keeping her in the soundproofed trunk of a taxi cab, he's able to stay mobile amongst the throngs of taxis out during Mardi Gras, making it nearly impossible to find. Montgomery only has one day to get the $10 million ransom, but much to the disbelief of the FBI on his trail and Vincent, Will doesn't actually have it. Instead, he must trust his instincts and his old partner in crime, the beautiful, sexy and smart Riley, to do one more clever heist to get his daughter back alive before it's too late.
How is this any different from Taken? They should’ve stuck with Medallion, Stolen makes it sound even more similar Taken.
