“Nobody 2” star Bob Odenkirk‘s (“Better Call Saul”) transition from comedian to badass has been quite the evolution after being known for his funny-man career, working as a writer on “SNL,” being part of the Emmy-winning “The Ben Stiller Show,” “The Larry Sanders Show” satirizing Late Night television, and launching his own sketch comedy series on HBO with “Mr. Show.”
In a new trailer shared by Universal Pictures, Odenkirk is back in the action star persona with “Nobody 2” which hails from director Timo Tjahjanto and has a script co-written by “John Wick” creator Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin.
Taking a page from “National Lampoon’s Vaction,” Hutch and his family are on a road trip for their family vacation, which leads to events where he needs the help of his brother (played by The RZA) and father (played by Christopher Lloyd), leaning hard into the family-centric angle of the last film.
An official logline for “Nobody 2” courtesy of Universal:
Four years after he inadvertently took on the Russian mob, Hutch remains $30 million in debt to the criminal organization and is working it off with an unending string of hits on international thugs. Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his “job,” Hutch and his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry went on a vacation as kids. With Hutch’s dad in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville (“Plummerville is Summerville!”), eager for some fun in the sun. But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz) and his shady sheriff (Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Sharon Stone).
Tjahjanto is quite the rising talent in the world of action filmmakers, as he was recently hired to direct the Jason Statham sequel “The Beekeeper 2“ for Miramax and Amazon MGM Studios.
The “John Wick” connections don’t end with Kolstad as Kelly McCormick and David Leitch (co-directed “Wick”) are producing alongside Marc Provissiero, Braden Aftergood, and Odenkirk. David Heyman, who was recently hired by Amazon to oversee the James Bond franchise, is set as an executive producer.
