Arnold Schwarzenegger to Star in the Action Comedy WHY WE'RE KILLING GUNTHER
Arnold Schwarzenegger has been cast in the upcoming action comedy Why We're Killing Gunther. I love it when Schwarzenegger does comedy! One of my favorite movies that he was in was True Lies, and it would be great to see him do that kind of film again. This sounds like it could a lot of fun. THR offers the following plot info:
The story focuses on a group of eccentric international assassins who become fed up with Gunther, the world's greatest hitman who also happens to be an arrogant show-off, and decide to kill him. Their master plan, however, quickly turns into a series of embarrassing encounters as Gunther always appears one step ahead.
Schwarzenegger will be taking on the role of Gunther, and it sounds like a great role for him! He will be joined by Cobie Smulders (The Avengers), Bobby Moynihan (SNL), Paul Brittain (Hotel Transylvania 2), Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley), Randall Park (The Interview), and Ryan Gaul (Identity Thief).
SNL star Taran Killam will be making his directorial debut with the film. So, you know, no pressure or anything to deliver something awesome. Schwarzenegger hasn't done too well with films since he started acting again, but I'm still rooting for him, and I hope this ends up being a funny, action-packed movie.
