If a pilot squawks transponder code 7500 it means the aircraft has been hijacked. That alone should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the upcoming Amazon Original “7500”. The action-thriller is the feature film debut for German writer-director Patrick Vollrath. Paul Dano was originally slated to be the film’s star but left after a scheduling conflict. He was replaced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt who comes across as a much better fit.
Set within the tight confines of a passenger plane traveling from Berlin to Paris, Gordon-Levitt plays a co-pilot of an aircraft taken over by a brutal handful of bad guys. He follows protocol and closes off the cockpit, but the threats of violence to his passengers and crew push him to the brink. The nibble we get from the new trailer shows a tense, claustrophobic thriller that could be a lot of fun.
“7500” hits Amazon Prime on June 19th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Normally I would have no interest in seeing a movie like this but I’m so starved for JGL content at this point. I’ll watch anything for him.
It’s looking good. I’m hoping it delivers. It has been a while since we’ve seen JGL!
OK, this looks good as I miss seeing JGL in films and such. He’s awesome. I guess he’s been spending some time at home being a dad. That’s awesome.
It has been a long time hasn’t it? What was the last JGL film. It’s good to see him back.
I think it was that Snowden movie that no one saw as I didn’t see it nor did I care to because Oliver Stone is an aging dinosaur that doesn’t have it anymore.

I almost thought this and Netflix’s Into the Night were the same series. Haha. Anyhow, thanks for putting it on my radar. I’ll be seeing it for JGL!
Same. Looks intense.
Looks interesting.
It really is. I have a review going up tomorrow.
