The main footage of a scene that marks a turning point in the story of the crime action film "Outlaws" (directed by Christian Gudegast, currently in theaters), starring actor Gerard Butler, was released on January 29th.
This film is a sequel to "The Outlaw," which was released in 2018. It will be released in the US in January 2025 and recorded the highest opening day box office revenue (according to Box Office Mojo). A third film has already been confirmed.
As in the previous film, Butler stars as unconventional detective Nick O'Brien, who captivates viewers with his tense gunfights and clever tactics. Jackson Jr., son of rapper Ice Cube, will reprise his role as Donnie Wilson, Nick's nemesis and the most dangerous robber he ever let go. The film will be directed, executive produced, and written by director Gudegast, who was highly praised for his previous work.
Nick (Butler), a Los Angeles County Sheriff's detective on leave, heads alone to Europe to track down Donnie (Jackson Jr.), who went on the run after a bank robbery. Nick learns that Donnie is working with a criminal organization that is repeatedly committing thefts, and he becomes embroiled in a grand plan to rob the world's largest diamond exchange. Various schemes and betrayals intertwine, and the story develops into an unexpected alliance... and so it goes.
The newly released footage shows Nick, who has traveled to France in pursuit of his nemesis Donnie, crossing the line and announcing his intention to join a gang of robbers. The two are each guarding a diamond exchange, the target of the gang. "Can you see?" Donnie asks over the phone, to which Nick replies, "Yeah, most security guards look at porn on their phones." Donnie then adds, "Those dogs can hunt," to which Nick replies, "That sounds interesting."
In a surprising scene, Detective Nick makes a surprising career change and proposes to team up with robber Donnie. This is one of the most noteworthy scenes in the series, suggesting that the lives of these two sworn enemies will once again become more deeply intertwined.
