Pain and Gain has released a new TV spot promo video with a few more scenes from the movie that aren’t in the trailer.

Mark Wahlberg certainly looks the part as a gym instructor in Michael Bay directed movie Pain and Gain. He plays Daniel Lugo, a bodybuilder in Florida who is dissatisfied with life and the money he earns.

When he meets his new client, a crook with too much money, Victor Kershaw (Monk’s Tony Shalhoub), he formulates a plan to help separate him from it. To make his plan work, he needs the assistance of his friends, Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson) and Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie from The Hurt Locker).

Pain and Gain is based on a true story of body builders-come-thieves and is directed by Michael Bay – who will also team up with Wahlberg (and Irish actor Jack Reynor) in Transformers 4 very soon. Bay was also responsible for comedy actions Bad Boys and Armageddon so we expect some witty one-liners and banter from the boys.

Pain and Gain is due for release on May 3, 2013.
