If you’re used to seeing Christoph Waltz as either a psychopathic killer or a benevolent father figure (or somewhere in between), he’s clearly looking to switch gears lately, between Prime Video’s new comedy The consultant and now an action comedy titled old man.
With Air conditioningSimon West prepares to make decisions in Belfast and a screenplay by Greg Johnson, old man You’ll find Waltz as hitman Terry Eubanks, who still believes he’s the best at what he does. Stuck in an impasse, Terry is thrilled when The Company brings him back into the fray, but only to train Gen Z newcomer Wihlborg, a prodigy killer with a temper.
The mismatched pair are tasked with taking down the best members of a competing crime syndicate and, in doing so, discover their employer’s true motive: eliminating the old guard in a total takeover. However, The Company didn’t anticipate that Terry’s experience combined with the boy’s genius would create such an unlikely bond between the two, allowing them to give everything back to The Company…
“It is very rare that such a scenario occurs. When he does, you have to grab it with both hands and hold it until you find the perfect actor,” explains West. “I have wanted to work with Christoph Waltz for many years. He is one of the most versatile actors working today. I can’t wait to see him create another unique and iconic character.”
