Warner Bros. Pictures
has released the first trailer for Going in Style, a remake of a 1979 comedy/heist
film starring George Burns, Lee Strasberg, and Art Carney as three aging
friends living on the dole who decide to rob a bank.
Now three Oscar-winning
actors - Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Alan Arkin - unite with actor/director
Zach Braff and screenwriter Theodore Melfi ("Hidden Figures") to
bring a modern-day remake of the comedy to the big screen.
Also starring John
Ortiz, Joey King, Christopher Lloyd, Ann-Margret, Matt Dillon, and Peter
Serafinowicz, Going in Style opens in theaters on April 7, 2017.
Oscar winners Morgan
Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby"), Michael Caine ("The Cider House
Rules," "Hannah and Her Sisters") and Alan Arkin ("Little
Miss Sunshine") team up as lifelong buddies Willie, Joe and Al, who decide
to buck retirement and step off the straight-and-narrow for the first time in
their lives when their pension fund becomes a corporate casualty, in director
Zach Braff’s comedy Going in Style.
Desperate to pay the bills and
come through for their loved ones, the three risk it all by embarking on a
daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money.
The film also stars two-time
Oscar nominee Ann-Margret (“Tommy,” “Carnal Knowledge”) as Annie, a grocery
cashier who’s been checking Al out in more ways than one. Joey King (“Wish I
Was Here”) stars as Joe’s whip-smart granddaughter, Brooklyn; with Oscar
nominee Matt Dillon (“Crash”) as FBI Agent Hamer; and Christopher Lloyd (“Back
to the Future” trilogy) as the guys’ lodge buddy, Milton. John Ortiz
(“Silver Linings Playbook”) also stars as Jesus, a man of unspecified
credentials who agrees to show the guys the ropes, and Peter Serafinowicz
(“Guardians of the Galaxy”) as Joe’s former son-in-law, Murphy, whose pot
clinic connections may finally prove useful.
