The
first
look
of
Gerard
Butler's
Machine
Gun
Preacher
has
been
released.
As
expected,
it
shows
the
backdrop
of
a
war-torn
country
in
Africa
and
the
actor
as
a
man,
who
dedicates
his
life
to
save
the
children
from
joining
military.
Recalling
his
earlier
characters
of
Spartan
ruler
in
300
and
the
heinous
Hun
in
Attila,
Gerard
Butler
says
that
the
role
is
completely
different,
as
the
story
is
set
in
the
modern
times.
"Those
other
roles
were
based
on
historic
characters
who
became
the
stuff
of
legend,
but
Sam
is
a
guy
of
our
times,"
He
will
be
seen
as
a
biker-turned-businessman,
who
gives
his
helping
hands
for
the
abused
would-be
recruits
of
the
Lord's
Resistance
Army.
He
further
adds,
“There
is
more
complexity
in
a
modern-day
character
who's
a
drug
addict
and
a
biker
turned
businessman,
missionary
and
soldier.
You
don't
get
roles
like
this
very
often."
Machine
Gun
Preacher,
which
is
directed
by
Marc
Foster,
also
features
Michelle
Monaghan,
Michael
Shannon
and
Kathy
Baker.
The
movie
is
expected
to
hit
the
screens
in
October
23
in
the
US.
