I’ll be honest, this film was not on my radar, but after watching this first trailer…it’s right in the middle of it. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been taking some dark movie roles lately, and that’s made everyone a little sad. We miss the old Arnold, the Jingle All The Way Arnold.
Thankfully, that joyful Arnold is making a comeback in Killing Gunther. Former Saturday Night Live actor Taran Killam is making his directorial debut with this film.
Entertainment Weekly gives us more details:
“Written and directed by Killam, the film concerns a group of young, raw, and undisciplined assassins who hire a documentary crew at gunpoint so that they have undeniable proof they’re the ones responsible for killing Schwarzenegger’s Gunther, the most infamous hitman of all time. But Gunther is on to them and decides to make their lives a living hell.”
It sounds absolutely ridiculous, and that’s because it is. But you know what? It also looks absolutely hilarious. In addition to Killam and Schwarzenegger, Killing Gunther, co-stars Bobby Moynihan, Hannah Simone, and Cobie Smulders. It’ll be released in select theaters and on demand on October. 20.
