Jason Statham’s Shelter Trailer Drops: Survival, Violence, and a Dark Past

The trailer for the movie Shelter is here, and it looks like Jason Statham is back to playing a tough guy with a troubled past – exactly what his fans love to see.

The film comes out in theaters on January 30th, and the initial preview suggests a realistic and suspenseful survival story.

Statham Rescues a Girl — And His Past Comes After Him

The film Shelter centers on a solitary man living a secluded life on a distant island. His peace is disrupted when he rescues a young girl from a fierce storm, but she unexpectedly brings trouble with her. This compels him to leave his self-imposed exile and confront a past he’s been trying to avoid.

As a huge action movie fan, I was hooked by the trailer! It really showcases Jason Statham in his element, switching between protecting this young woman and going on the offensive against those chasing her. It feels like we’re in for a story about surviving a tough situation, dealing with past mistakes, and ultimately finding some kind of redemption – and of course, it’s going to be packed with Statham’s signature brand of intense action!

The Film’s Cast and Story

Bodhi Rae Breathnach plays the young woman Jason Statham’s character saves, and Naomi Ackie and Bill Nighy appear in supporting roles.

Okay, so this film really digs into Jason Statham’s character being haunted by his history – old enemies and secrets he thought he’d left behind. What I found interesting is that his relationship with this young girl isn’t just a sweet side story; it’s actually the catalyst that forces him to confront all of that baggage. It’s a surprisingly emotional core to what is, at its heart, an action flick.

Who’s Behind Shelter

The film is directed by Ric Roman Waugh and written by Ward Parry.

Jason Statham is also a producer on the film, working with John Friedberg, Brendon Boyea, Greg Silverman, and Jon Berg. Black Bear is distributing the movie, suggesting it will be a realistic, suspenseful thriller aimed at adults, rather than a typical, over-the-top action film.

Release Date

Shelter opens exclusively in theaters on January 30.
