Channing Tatum & Adam Driver have nothing to lose in new Logan Lucky trailer

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Although Steven Soderbergh did in fact retire from directing feature-films after the release of BEHIND THE CANDELABRA in 2013, the director certainly didn't stay dormant during this period. Among other things, Soderbergh directed all twenty episodes of Cinemax's The Knick before the call of tackling a big-screen project beckoned once more when he was given the script for LOGAN LUCKY. The upcoming heist film centers around two brothers, played by Channing Tatum and Adam Driver, who set out to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway just before the biggest race of the year, the Coca-Cola 600. To that end, the brothers enlist the help of the aptly named explosives expert Joe Bang (Daniel Craig). Check out the brand-new trailer for LOGAN LUCKY!

We don't typically get to see Daniel Craig cut loose and go for laughs with a role, but he seems to be having an absolute blast in LOGAN LUCKY. With all the other exciting releases that 2017 has to offer, I wasn't anticipating that LOGAN LUCKY would move so far up the ranks, but the film looks like a hell of a lot of fun and more Steven Soderbergh on the big-screen is never a bad thing.

The official synopsis for LOGAN LUCKY:

The Logan’s are a blue-collar family from the hills of West Virginia, and their clan has been famous for its bad luck for nearly 90 years. But the conniving Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) decides it’s time to turn the family’s luck around, and with a little help from his friends, the Redneck Robbers, he plans to steal $14 million from the Charlotte Motor Speedway on the busiest race day of the year. A heist movie with a difference: Steven Soderbergh, the director of the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy and an A-list cast including Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig and Adam Driver deliver a smart, thrilling and funny blue-collar story of an audacious multi-million dollar robbery.

LOGAN LUCKY is set for an August 18, 2017 release.
