Bob Odenkirk Shows Off His New Set of Badass Skills in Featurette For The Action Film NOBODY
“Sometimes the man you don’t notice is the most dangerous of all.”
I never imagined Better Call Saul actor Bob Odenkirk would ever be an action star, yet here he is, kicking all kinds of ass in his upcoming film Nobody. He had to go through a long and hard process of transforming himself into a badass for this role and today we have a featurette for the film to share with you where he shows off the process of learning his new set of skills.
The actor explains, “I wanted to commit completely and go all the way into utterly unapologetic rage.”
In the story, Odenkirk plays a seemingly normal suburban husband and dad who likes to make lasagna from scratch, but he’s also a retired assassin that finds himself back in action.
Nobody was directed by Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) from a script written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad. The movie was also produced by John Wick director David Leitch. Here’s the synopsis for the film:
Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life’s indignities on the chin and never pushing back. A nobody. When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake, is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca, seems to pull only further away.
The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary —and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.
Nobody also stars Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman), Gage Munroe (The Shack), and Russian actor Aleksey Serebryakov (Amazon’s McMafia). It will also feature Christopher Lloyd and RZA, who we get to see in action in this trailer!
Nobody is scheduled to make its debut in theaters on February 26, 2021.
