In the new teaser, a pony-tailed Griffith with his back to the camera stands in darkness as a voice-over plays in the background that says, “If a man can’t stand, he can’t fight. If a man can’t breathe, he can’t fight. If a man can’t see, he can’t fight. Extreme situations require extreme measures.”
