"Never forget where you came from!" Columbia Pictures has debuted the first official trailer on Yahoo for Colombiana, the action flick starring Zoe Saldana from producer Luc Besson that's hitting theaters later this year. This is one of those movies I've been waiting to see a trailer for, ever since we debuted those first look photos, I knew this would be something exciting. It's basically a movie about if Zoe Zaldana were a badass James Bond/Jason Bourne combination, but female, and from Colombia. I just love this trailer, its got lots of energy and style, it's unique and entertaining, I'm totally there opening night. Check this out now!
Watch the first official trailer for Olivier Megaton's Colombiana from YouTube:
You can also watch the Colombiana trailer in High Definition on Yahoo
Written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen (who also wrote Taken and Transporter 3), Colombiana is set in Latin America and follows a young woman who, after witnessing her parents' murder as a child in Bogota, grows up to be a stone-cold assassin. Cat (Saldana) works for her uncle as a hitman by day, but her personal time is spent engaging in vigilante murders that she hopes will lead her to her ultimate target: the mobster responsible for her parents' death. From this trailer alone, it looks like it'll be awesome, and we'll let you know when we've got more. Sony Pictures has Colombiana scheduled for release September 2nd this fall.

I was waiting to see the trailer for this bad boy as well Alex. Pretty badass. I wish Luc would get behind the camera again but he is more prolific producing for others.

Remember how The American looked awesome. It was a good film, but kind of a bore fest. I hope that doesn't happen. Although that doesn't look like it, sorta sounds similar. Watching the trailer, it looks like more of a commercialized version of it. They really needed to stop saying, "never forget where you came from." I smell a drinking game in the works.

I especially like the part where he builds the suppressor out of spare parts and auto mechanic tools. Never seen that sort of detail in an assassin movie.

Feel like we've seen this before but what a great cast this film has. To be honest, I'd watch Zoe do anything. And if Lennie James is in this, you know its gonna rock!

"it's unique and refreshing" Seriously?

I think personally saying "Seriously" does cut it. It's certainly not unique, and like other people in comments below said, Salanda looks too frail for a killer. This movie trailer is miles away from being refreshing.

Women can surprise you like that, though, man. She's not really frail, she's just light framed and lean. Besides, true strength is not just about your musculature, but your coordination, endurance, skill, technique, speed, reflexes, flexibility, etc.

What do you mean too frail?my wife is thin framed and dominican also, and she kicks my ass!lol! But on the real, Angelina Jolie is very boney but kicks major ass! So your point isn't valied at all!

I will say I can't agree with it looking "unique"...but holy crap, this looks badass! Also I will say that it does look like a film that will definitely stand out among others like it.

Why didn't they show Callum Blue? Michael Vartan is partly Armenian. A lot of people don't know that.

Cliff Curtis? I'm in, the guy is a relative badass, on and Saldana is very easy on the eyes.

I agree, guy is awesome in anything he goes.. Having said that, this movie looks like Salt but with a different lead.. and that movie really sucked

La femme Nikita meets Leon. Anne Parillaud from Nikita was real thin but belivable so it can be done. Will surely check this one out.
Loser on May 5, 2011

WOW that was amazing! I've been waiting for Luc Beson to make a sequel to LEON as I'm sure Natalie Portman would be up for it.. this looks like it might be the closest we get.

This'll be a watcher for sure, sold quite heavily on the lack of Saldana's clothing in this trailer, not sure if that was necessary?
Crapola on May 5, 2011

It was. Saldana is extremely hot with a gun and no pants! Hot enough to make me watch this
deckter on May 5, 2011
45
Fair do's. I quite liked the look of it without al the flashing, but I suppose with the recent spate of child-trained killer revenge tales out at the moment, they are maybe putting it out there that there's a bit more 'loving' going down.
Crapola on May 6, 2011

I agree, i will watch this solely for the lack of clothing. Black chicks are hot.

Goddamn - love the lady action heroes, and this is Zoe third time kicking ass . So what if she is little. You ever see the little guy in kung foo movies, always the baddest bitch.
Guest on May 5, 2011

This flick looks good, but Zoe looks too anorexic and weak to be taken seriously in a Liam Neeson-like role! I'll be sure to place in my Netflix queue, though!

sexy chick, great action, what else can you ask for

The trailer repeats the "Never forget" thing a tad much for my liking, but the movie looks potentially good - a hot chick kicking ass. What is refreshing to me is that it has a gritty quality because the stunts look real, rather than an overuse on CGI for unrealistic spectacle. Zoe is very watchable, but doesn't guarantee a good action movie. THE LOSERS, I'm looking at you...

I think you're lost John, this is a movie board...not a "Life as we know it" board.

Looks exactly like Le Femme Nikita. But looks fantastic! I will definitely be watching this and nice round house kick Zoe.

I think that's their point. It was "unbelievable" then as it is now.

Me (my thoughts being a Colombian): 1) Make Colombia look like Mexico..check 2) Make Colombia look like the most dangerous place on earth...check 3) hire Cuban actors or ones that look like Cubans ...check 4) have a director o someone in charge to never actually take even 5 min to google something about Colombia besides its internal guerrilla and drug problems.....check. well another cheesy Hollywood movie milking my Country's situation........ which they didn't even took 5 min to research,bring it...well laugh as always watching it.(I hope is not as bad as the others) btw it reminded me of "MEDELLIN" the movie in entourage...lol

ADM86, Perro Come Perro(Dog eat Dog) was one of my favorite films to come out of Colombia.

Fellow colombian here, agree 100%

Okay, I hear a lot of people cracking jokes about this not looking like Columbia, but I believe this story is set partially in the U.S. as well. Now, I'm no expert on Spanish, but I would say "Colombiana" would refer to the nationality of the character, not the country itself. As in, she is a Colombiana, a Columbian. Any Spanish-speaking readers care to clarify this for me?

sick of her. she sold out. next.

Wow! This looks like they combined Teken with The Proffesional and put a woman in the lead. Pretty Bad Ass! This trailer looked cool, hope it's good.

This movie was energetic and action packed. It was amazing to see saldana portrayed as such a vicious role. An invigorating display of acting as the vengeful hitwoman Great climatic film!
