Drew Pearce's feature debut, Hotel Artemis, the first official trailer arrived on Monday following an announcement on Sunday evening. I imagined a much different look when I first heard about it two years ago, which doesn't necessarily undermind what was applied here.
The rustic, antique setting, dramatic, somewhat noir, edgy tone, set pieces and warm lighting with a touch of neon to its action thriller visage actually feels pretty appealing. Also, the added gloss of seeing actress Sofia Boutella in another fierce action role just warms my heart pretty dearly, and it actually gives me hope that she'll be juxtaposed next to heavier hitters in due time.
She joins actress Jodie Foster who leads the rip-roaring, dystopian tale now set off in the official trailer with actor Sterling K. Brown revving up the energy, and a cast that includes Charlie Day, Jeff Goldblum, Zachary Quinto, and the always rewarding Dave Bautista.

Jean Thomas, aka THE NURSE (Jodie Foster) is the manager of the Hotel Artemis, an ultra-exclusive, members-only hospital hidden in a hotel redolent of faded ‘20s glamour. Tough, sharp and utterly fearless, The Nurse treats an assortment of assassins, gunrunners, thieves and gangsters in an unexpected state-of-the-art emergency room capable of providing a new liver with a 3-D printer or injecting a patient with nanobots that heal from the inside out.
With the help of her towering assistant EVEREST, The Nurse wrangles some of the most dangerous criminals in the world, from sultry French assassin NICE and international arms dealer ACAPULCO, to bank robbers WAIKIKI and his brother HONOLULU. One night as a violent riot rages on the streets of Los Angeles, legendary crime boss Orian Franklin, aka NIAGARA, arrives needing immediate treatment after a failed attempt on his life. Niagara’s sudden arrival creates a violent clash among the criminals in the hospital, with one ‘patient’ having a particularly deadly motive for checking into the hotel. The Nurse makes a decision that could jeopardize the future of the ER and everyone in it. Now the safest place for criminals in the city has become the most dangerous..And that's the wind-up and the pitch for Hotel Artemis with a June 8 release in tow. Check the trailer below and get your ticket money ready!
