As a longtime fan ofBob Odenkirk, I’m happy to report his new action movie,Nobody, kicks all kinds of ass. Unlike some movies where clever editing is often used to hide the fact that the main actor had to sit most of the action out, Odenkirk trained for two years to do all the fight scenes himself. So when you see him taking bad guys apart during a brutal and bloody bus fight, it really is Odenkirk doing the stunt work.
If you haven’t seen the trailers,Nobodyis about an overlooked dad and husband named Hutch Mansell (Odenkirk) who has lived a quiet life for many years. After a break-in at his home, Hutch’s long-simmering rage awakens as he goes on the hunt for the people who threatened his family. Unfortunately, he also encounters a dangerous Russian adversary (Alexey Serebryakov), which leads to gunfire, violence, and mayhem.Nobodywas directed byIlya Naishuller, written byJohn WickscribeDerek Kolstad, and also starsConnie Nielsen,Christopher Lloyd,Michael Ironside,RZA, andGage Munroe. The film was produced byDavid LeitchandKelly McCormick. For more on the film you canread Matt Goldeberg’s review.

During the wide-ranging conversation, McCormick talked about how the project happened, how they only had thirty-four days to make the movie, her reaction when people call the movie Bob Odenkirk’sJohn Wick, if they’ve starting thinking about a sequel, and more. In addition, she gave updates on the status of aHobbs and Shawsequel, directorCedric Nicolas-Troyan’sassassin thrillerKatestarringMary Elizabeth Winstead, directorDavid Leitch’sBullet TrainstarringBrad Pitt, andFast & LoosewithWill Smith.
