Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro Reteam for THE WAR WITH GRANDPA
Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro are set to star alongside each other again for the first time since the 1978 film The Deer Hunter. The film is a comedy called The War With Grandpa, which is set to be directed by Tim Hill, and they will join Eugene Levy, who's been cast in the film as well.
The War With Grandpa is based on a book by Robert Kimmel Smith, and it's about "a kid who reluctantly gives up his bedroom to accommodate his grandfather (De Niro), whom he loves but wants out of his room. The boy engages in a series of pranks meant to drive his grandpa out, but the old man is pretty wise to it and returns the volleys."
De Niro and Walken will play best friends in the film. It's pretty awesome that Walken and De Niro will share the screen again after all these years. I hope the movie turns out to be good! I'd hate to waste such an epic team of talent on a mediocre movie. It doesn't sound like they'll be playing a deadly game of Russian roulette this time around.
