Papillon - with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman - is one of the greatest dramas ever made and features what's easily McQueen's most recognisable performance, outside of maybe Bullitt or The Great Escape.
Charlie Hunnam, on the other hand, is primarily known for Sons Of Anarchy - where he was often the least interesting part of it - and for taking his shirt off on a semi-regular basis. So it goes that for approximately 75% of this trailer for the Papillon remake, Charlie Hunnam is shirtless and feigning that really bad accent of his.
You've also got Mr. Robot's Rami Malek in there, giving it socks as the weedy Dega, and some interesting choices with regards to the whole Devil's Island sequence. Not to write this off entirely, but why would you try for a new version when the first adaptation... just worked?
Papillon washes up on Irish shores in late 2018.
