First Trailer for Parker

Monday we featured the first poster for the crime thriller Parker; today we have the first trailer (below).

Parker (Jason Statham) is a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don't steal from people who can't afford it and don't hurt people who don't deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead.

Determined to make sure they regret it, Parker tracks them to Palm Beach, playground of the rich and famous, where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever. Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner, Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), a savvy insider, who's short on cash, but big on looks, smarts and ambition. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the score, take everyone down and get away clean.

Parker is based on a character created by Donald E. Westlake writing as Richard Stark. There is only one novel in the series set in Palm Beach — Flashfire — which provides the basis for the screenplay by John J. McLaughlin. The film opens in theaters January 25th, 2013.
