Over at Beyond Hollywood, you can scope out the U.S. trailer for The Assault, the tense French hostage drama from Chrysalis director Julien Leclercq. Looks pretty bad-ass, doesn’t it? Rest assured that American audiences will have the chance to see the movie as Screen Media Films is offering The Assault a limited release stateside on April 6, 2012.
The film is based on true events: on Christmas Eve, 1994, armed terrorists hijacked a passenger plane and threatened all of Paris. The Assault follows France’s elite counter-terrorism unit as they plan and execute their daring rescue mission.
