Remember that image that we posted last week of George Clooney running up some stairs carrying a gun supposedly running away from some priests?! Well, Yahoo have literally just released the first trailer for the movie which I’ve embedded below.

The American is directed by Anton Corbijn and also stars Bruce Altman, Thekla Reuten, Paolo Bonacelli and Violante Placido.

Synopsis: Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.
