Jake Gyllenhaal-Led "The Covenant" Trailer Unveiled

MGM unveiled the official trailer for the American actor Jake Gyllenhaal's military thriller movie "The Covenant".

The cast also includes Alexander Ludwig, Antony Starr, Jason Wong, Bobby Schofield, Sean Sagar, Sina Parvaneh, Emily Beecham, Cyrus Khodaveisi, and Christian Ochoa.

Initially entitled "The Interpreter", it stars Gyllenhaal as Army Sergeant John Kinley, who is on his last tour in Afghanistan.

He gets hit in the head in a way that makes him completely vulnerable, and his life is saved by Ahmed (Dal Salim), a local interpreter who risks his life to take John to safety.

Ahmed and his family are put in danger and the American government won’t do anything about it, Kinley has to gear up and save the family if he wants to pay his debt to the interpreter.

Guy Ritchie directed from a script he co-wrote with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies. Ritchie produces alongside Atkinson, John Friedberg, and Josh Berger.

Gyllenhaal was recently seen in Michael Bay’s "Ambulance" and voiced a role in Don Hall’s Disney animated feature "Strange World", both released last year.

He has previously tackled military themes in movies including "Jarhead" (2005) and "Source Code" (2011).

"The Covenant" hits theaters on April 21.
