The movie is directed by Anton Corbijn. I saw Corbijn’s work on the movie Control, so I look forward to this one.   As you watch the featurette, see if you notice some  similarities in style. Also, what is really cool is that director Anton Corbijn has been keeping a blog of his experiences working on the film.  His blog is regularly updated and can be read here: The American.  Corbijn is a photographer as well, which explains  the cool angles and shots around Italy.

The American opens in movie theaters September 1, 2010.
