The originalEscape Planwas a prison leakage thriller that shoot theaters in 2013 , bringing Sly and Arnold Schwarzenegger together for their long look solo team - up . Although the pair had previously shared the filmdom inThe Expendablesfilms , this was the first time they ’d led a film all on their own . And while it made for good schlocky fun overall , it was far from the smash achiever it might ’ve been , had it released in the 1980s or ' 90s ( when both role player were at the extremum of their careers as action stars ) .
Thanks to its performance at the global box office , however , a sequel titledEscape Plan 2 : Hadeswas light-green - lit a few years afterwards . Schwarzenegger did n’t refund for the photographic film , but that turn out to be a impudent move;Escape Plan 2was wide dismissed as a lazy follow-up , and Stallone has since admitted he palpate it was"beyond awful " . Sly really announced plans for the third movie whileEscape Plan 2was still in product , and shot vex underway five months by and by . Fortunately , the merchandising suggests it ’s a step up from its predecessor , if only because Stallone and Bautista are therealstars this time .

Screen Rant is exclusively premier the photographic film ’s cherry-red band trailer , as you could see in the distance below .
As the trailer reveals , The Extractorspits Ray against Lester Clark Jr. ( Devon Sawa ) , the son of his treacherous former partner ( whom Vincent D’Onofrio play in the firstEscape Plan ) . Bautista and Jaime King reprise theirEscape Plan 2 : Hadesroles here as , severally , former Breslin Security companion Trent DeRosa and Abigail , who ’s also the VP of Breslin ’s company .

Based on the trailer footage and casting / crew , The Extractorsshould have pretty decent scrap scenes for a lineal to video release . The film itself has the same atavist vibe as its predecessors ( complete with a " This meter , it ’s personal " twist to the formula ) , but seems more on the stratum of the first film , as far as tone pop off . Admittedly , the originalEscape Plandidn’t set the stripe too high in that respect , but it was entertaining enough for what it was .
