“The Last Days of American Crime” Trailer is Here! (Plus the 17 Year Journey to Make It)
Below we have the trailer to The Last Days of American Crime. If the title sounds familiar it could be because I’ve been talking about The Last Days of American Crime for almost 17 years. Yep, 17 years. I’ll explain after the trailer.
As a final response to terrorism and crime, the U.S. government plans to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. Graham Bricke (Édgar Ramírez), a career criminal who was never able to hit the big score, teams up with famous gangster progeny Kevin Cash (Michael Pitt), and black market hacker Shelby Dupree (Anna Brewster), to commit the heist of the century and the last crime in American history before the signal goes off. Based on the Radical Publishing graphic novel created by Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini, The Last Days of American Crime is directed by Olivier Megaton, written by Karl Gajdusek, produced by Jesse Berger, p.g.a., Jason Michael Berman, p.g.a., and Barry Levine, with Sharlto Copley also co-starring.
Watch The Last Days of American Crime on Netflix June 5
Way back in November of 2003, I posted Meet Rick Remender. Rick was a comic writer and artist I met through my buddy, John Beatty. John was inking Rick’s pencils on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Rick also had an idea for a comic mini-series he called The Last Days of American Crime. I loved the art, title and idea for the story.
In 2007, I met Rick at HeroesCon. Not only did I get hang with him for a bit, Rick also did a Stallone sketch for my collection. Rick said that The Last Days of American Crime was still in the works. Rick had so many projects going (Fear Agent, Sea of Red, and Strange Girl just to name three) that I had started to think that he’d never get to it.
In March of 2009, I posted the art above and the news that “The Last Days of American Crime” would premiere later that year in a three issue [48 pages each] mini-series with art by Greg Tocchini. Yea! The wait was nearly over. And how about Greg Tocchini’s art!
In April 2009, we got a look at Tocchini’s The Last Days of American Crime preview cover made for Comic-Con.
In August 2009, CBR.com ran a 17 page preview of The Last Days of American Crime.
In September 2009, CBR.com gave us another preview. The anticipation was building…
In November 2009, the news was Sam Worthington had signed on to produce and star in a big screen adaptation of Rick Remender’s The Last Days of American Crime. Wow! We’d probably see The Last Days of American Crime movie in a year or so, right?
In December 2009, we got another preview of The Last Days of American Crime mini-series.
In September 2010, I posted The Not So Last Days of American Crime. Rick had announced that he had ideas for more tales set in the same The Last Days of American Crime universe!
And now nearly 17 years after that first post and almost ten years after my final post about The Last Days of American Crime we have a trailer for the movie. How long until someone starts calling Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini overnight sensations?

Paolo Cubadda created the very cool art above. I saw it at Sylvester Stallone’s Official Sly Stallone Shop on Instagram.
“Night of the Living Dead” Tribute Poster!
I like this Night of the Living Dead tribute poster. Not sure of who the artist is, but if I find out, I’ll update here.
Tiny nit, I wish we could hint of a zombie face or two and some of the hands grabbing Barbara were more zombie-like. But those are two very minor quibbles.
