After the jump I’ve got the trailer for The Escapist, which premiered at Sundance and will be out June 20 in the UK – still no U.S. release date.

Frank Perry (Cox) is an institutionalized convict twelve years into a life sentence without parole. When his estranged daughter falls ill, he is determined he make peace with her before it’s too late. He develops an ingenious escape plan, and recruits a dysfunctional band of escapists – misfits with a mutual dislike for one other but united by their desire to escape their hell hole of an existence. Much of the action takes place within the tunnels, sewers and underground rivers of subterranean London.

Brian Cox is one of those guys I’d watch paint a house, but this looks kind of cheesy.  Plus, a prison movie and not one shot of guys making out?  What’s up with that?  …Hold on, I’m getting some new info here:

…Then there’s the inevitable prison homosexuality, including a bizarre drag parade and a rape that ends in violent retaliation. [Review in the Hollywood Reporter]

Sorry, nevermind.  Clearly this will be awesome.
