The latest action film from legendary director Martin Campbell is out now in theaters. The Protégé features a star-studded cast that includes Maggie Q, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Keaton in the lead roles.
“Rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody (Samuel L. Jackson) and trained in the family business, Anna (Maggie Q) is the world’s most skilled contract killer,” says the official synopsis. “But when Moody – the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival – is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer (Michael Keaton) whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves even tighter.”

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with The Protégé director Martin Campbell about his star-studded action film, the James Bond franchise, and more.
Tyler Treese: What really made you want to work with Maggie Q? Because it’s hard to even imagine somebody else in this role. She’s so great.
Martin Campbell: Well, she was cheap. That was . He was absolutely terrific.
The name changed from The Asset. Do you feel like The Protégé is more fitting for this?
I think so. I think it’s just more, it fits better. She is a protégé, basically. He’s trained her, albeit he’s a father figure. He has trained her, she’s now a part of a team. So in a way, she is his protégé, whereas The Asset is a little different. It’s a little more impersonal. Yeah, I think it’s better.
Certainly the pandemic impacted the film’s filming, but we are getting to release it in theaters. How exciting is that for you?
Well, it’s good. Obviously, the pandemic is a huge problem with people going back to the cinema and so forth, but it’s great to see it on a screen instead of a TV screen at home. If you see what I mean, because streaming, of course, I don’t know for me, the experience of actually going to a theater is so much better than me watching it on TV.
