For all of our NYC based readers this is a special treat for you. Steven Soderberg’s Haywire (formerly known as Knockout) will be getting an early release in New York City. Originally slated to open in January 2011, then Lion’s Gate dropped the film and then picked up by Overture FIlms so the release date was pushed back to March 2011. New Yorkers get a sneak peek at this film this weekend.

Opening this Friday, October 15th Steven Soderberg’s Haywire will be screened in only one theater in the city. The AMC Empire 25 in Times Square will be the only place to see this film. Haywire will only be playing for a limited one week engagement. So see it soon!

Starring Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas, Michael Angarano, Mathieu Kassovitz and Bill Paxton, the film surrounds a black ops super soldier (Carano) seeks revenge after she is betrayed and set up during a mission.

Tickets and showtimes can here found here. I know I will be there for the first showing because not only will it be only screening in the city, it’s also the cheapest with AMC first showing on the weekends prices. Only $6.00 to see a first run movie in New York City? Things have got all haywire.

The Playlist have reported that Steven Soderbergh’s film Haywire (formerly Knockout) has switched companies from LionsGate for Overture, and the planned January 2011 US release date has now been moved to sometime in early spring.The film follows the story of a black ops super soldier on the road to revenge after being betrayed and set up during a mission.

Not the most gripping of news (especially as no date has been set for over here as yet), but when you have a cast list comprised of the likes of Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Michael Angarano, Matthieu Kassovitz, Channing Tatum, Bill Paxton and Antonio Banderas (with the added attraction of Soderbergh working within the action genre) this begins to sounds very intriguing indeed.

We’ll let you know as soon as a confirmed date for release in the UK is announced.
