Debuting at 2011 Toronto Film Festival, here's your first look at the official sales artwork for Gareth Evans' highly-anticipated follow-up to his 2009's martial-art actioner MERANTAU, entitled THE RAID. See it below.
THE RAID reunites director Gareth Evans and his breakout Indonesian martial-art sensation Iko Uwais. Here's a synopsis you can read below (via Twitch).
Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the 6th floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission.
Well, whoever it's at Toronto for the film festival, they can get lucky to watch THE RAID before the rest of the world next year in 2012.
