Nobody Trailer Combines John Wick, Taken, and Bob Odenkirk

It’s time for Bob Odenkirk to step into the old-man action movie genre. The first trailer for NobodyĀ features the actor getting very, very violent in a film that feels like John Wick and Taken collided into a bit of ridiculous action. The film is directed by Ilya Naishuller, who made his name with the feature-length, first-person filmĀ Hardcore Henry.

As the trailer shows, the film follows a now pretty standard plotline. A mild-mannered, middle-aged man living in suburbia is not actually what he seems. When danger comes knocking, Hutch Mansell is pulled back into the life he left to start a family, and it appears everyone is going to regret it. The selling point here is Odenkirk, a man who built his career playing a layered nobody in Breaking Bad andĀ Better Call Saul, and what will hopefully be some creative direction from Naishuller.Ā Hardcore Henry wasn’t a great film, but the director definitely has skill in making intense action.

Joining Odenkirk in the film is Christopher Lloyd as Hutchā€™s father and multi-hyphenate musician-actor RZA as his brother, who is evidently also a badass. The film is produced by Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, the filmmakers of Hobbs & Shaw, Deadpool 2, and Atomic Blonde, for their company 87North; by Braden Aftergood (Hell or High Water, Wind River) for his Eighty Two Films; and by Bob Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero (Huluā€™s PEN15) for Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment. The film is executive produced by Derek Kolstad, Marc S. Fischer, Annie Marter, and Tobey Maguire. Yes, that possibly-returning-to-Spider-Man Tobey Maguire.

The movie was scheduled to land on Feb. 19 but has moved back to its original release date of Feb. 26.
