The new Hollywood fashion is that older to take place of youngers in garnished movies with plenty of action and adrenaline after Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Eric Roberts have flexed muscles in “The Expendables”, Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman have started spying in “Red”, Liam Neeson struggled with cold and wolves in Alaska in “The Grey” and Harrison Ford on the new adventures in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, coming the turn of Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin to enter in the skin of professional assassins veterans in action comedy “Stand Up Guys“.
Originally called “Old Timers” and directed by Fisher Stevens (“Just a Kiss”, “Crazy Love”), based on an original script prepared by the playwright Noah Come, the “Stand Up Guys” follows two professional assassins who get in trouble when one of them is required to annihilate the other, the old name of fellowship to him about taking the decision to spend one last night of debauchery together, seasoned with auto theft, to play as cat and mouse with police, prosecution of cars on city streets and visits to brothels, but also moments in which the protagonists allows himself to reflect on dubious election that made them alive.
The Journalists from The Hollywood Reporter does not specify which of the three actors of Oscar winners is available on which Fisher Stevens will give life to the big screen couple of thugs, but we know that filming will begin in April 2012, in Los Angeles.
This is the first time when the three actors come together in this formula, while Alan Arkin was a colleague of Al Pacino in the drama “Glengarry Glen Ross” in 1992 and Christopher Walken in the romantic comedy “America’s Sweethearts” in 2001, and Christopher Walken and Al Pacino were part of the distribution of the romantic comedy “Gigli” in 2003, although it had no common scene.
