The first trailer for STAND UP GUYS, starring Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, and Julianna Margulies has hit and it’s much more dramatic than I anticipated. The stills of the project thus far have looked a bit comical in nature and I was left with the impression that it would be more funny than serious, but the trailer has a much more grim feel to it, which isn’t exactly a terrible thing. I’m more interested in seeing it now than I was before, based on this trailer.
Directed by Fisher Stevens, the story follows “a pair of aging con men (Pacino and Walken) trying to get the old gang back together for one last hurrah before one of the guys takes his last assignment — to kill his comrade.”
No drugs at the bar:
STAND UP GUYS is slated to hit theaters on January 11, 2013.
