Gerard Butler stars in Kandahar: first look

The first images land from Gerard Butler’s just wrapped new project: here’s a first look at the incoming Kandahar. The ever-industrious Gerard Butler has a new film coming round the corner, in the shape of the long-mooted and now-shot Kandahar. It’s a film that reunites him with his Angel Has Fallen and Greenland director Ric Roman Waugh, and sees The Butler alongside Navid Negahban. It’s been shooting in Saudi Arabia over the last seven weeks, and the first shots – taken by photography Hopper Stone – have now been released. Here are the images… And the synopsis reads as follows… ‘Kandahar’ sees Butler star as Tom Harris, an undercover CIA operative, stuck deep in hostile territory in Afghanistan. He must fight his way out, alongside his Afghan translator, to an extraction point in Kandahar, all whilst avoiding the elite special forces tasked with hunting them down. No release date as of yet, but we’ll keep you updated on that as we hear more… — Thank you for visiting! If you’d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
