Michael Davis’ “Shoot’em Up” has the potential to be one incredibly cool film. It’s got as great a cast as you’ll find in an action movie this year (Clive Owen as the Badass Loner Gunman! Paul Giamatti as the Heavy! Monica Bellucci as the Babe!), and the premise is just an action junkie’s dream come true. To wit: “A man named Mr. Smith (Owen) delivers a woman’s baby during a shootout, and is then called upon to protect the newborn from the army of gunmen.” I mean, come on! No muss, no fuss. Action, action, and more action!

Via Canmag, New Line Cinema has sent out three new posters for “Shoot’em Up”. They’re all character posters, featuring the three main stars — Owen, Bellucci, and Giamatti.

Tell me these don’t look good and I’ll call you a liar.

“Shoot Em Up” stars Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Bellucci, Greg Bryk, Jane McLean, is written and directed by Michael Davis, and opens September 17, 2007.
