‘Hotel Artemis’ Clip: Jodie Foster Explains The Rules Of Her Criminal Hospital
Whoa, aJohn Wick: Chapter 3clip already? That was fast – theyjust announced much of the cast this morning. What’s that? Oh, this isn’t fromJohn Wick: Chapter 3, it’s aHotel Artemisclip instead? Ah yes, it’s thatothermovie about a secret society of criminals with a strict code of enforced rules. That one actually comes out in just a few weeks, so this all now makes much more sense.
Am I joking? I can’t even tell anymore! It’s probably best just to check out the new clip below.

The comparisons to theJohn Wickfranchise are plentiful, though writer Priscilla Page taught me on Twitter that the idea forJohn Wick’s Continental Hotel was not an entirely original notion, even for that movie:
for folks comparing HOTEL ARTEMIS to JOHN WICK, the Continental Hotel concept is not unique to JOHN WICK — it’s an invention of author David Morrellhttps://t.co/WUmb22Lp6p

In any case,Jodie Fosterlooks coolly confident in this role – I much prefer her in a part like this instead of whatever the heck she was doing in Neill Blomkamp’sElysium.Sterling K. BrownandBrian Tyree Henrydon’t have much to do in this particular clip, but we get to see a bit ofKenneth Choinot complying with the “rules”, and a little sneak peek atDave Bautista’s character, whose name is Everest (for reasons that should be pretty obvious).
Despite its familiar-sounding premise, I’m still interested in this movie for one big reason:Jeff Goldblumplays the big bad, a warlord who wants something that’s currently being squirreled away on the hospital’s grounds. (Check him out inthe full trailerif you haven’t seen that yet.)Sofia Boutella, Jenny Slate, Zachary Quinto,andCharlie Dayco-star, and I’m really hoping they’re all put to especially good use here.
This is the feature directorial debut ofDrew Pearce, the writer behind movies likeIron Man 3, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,andSherlock Holmes 3. We’re eager to see if he’ll be able to elevate this concept beyond “John Wickknock off” and carve out something special and memorable in this gritty little niche.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
In HOTEL ARTEMIS, set in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles, Jodie Foster plays The Nurse, who runs a secret, members-only emergency room for criminals. Surrounded by an all-star cast that includes Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Brian Tyree Henry, Jenny Slate, Zachary Quinto, Charlie Day, and Dave Bautista, HOTEL ARTEMIS is a stylish, high-octane action-thriller written and directed by Drew Pearce.
