Old Guy

Old Guy is an upcoming American action comedy film directed by Simon West, written by Greg Johnson, produced by Highland Film Group and Dark Castle Entertainment, and starring Christoph Waltz, Lucy Liu, Cooper Hoffman, and Desmond Eastwood. It is set for release on September 30, 2024.

Synopsis
Contract killer Danny Dolinski still believes he's the best at what he does. Stuck at a dead end but vying for the love of club manager Anata, Danny is thrilled when The Company pulls him back into the field, but only to train Gen Z newcomer Wihlborg, a prodigy assassin with an attitude. The mismatched pair is asked to eliminate top members of a competing crime syndicate and, in the process, uncover their employer's true motive: removing the old guard in a full takeover. However, The Company didn't anticipate that Danny's experience coupled with the kid's brilliance would create such an unlikely bond between the two, enabling them, with crucial help from Anata, to turn it all back on The Company.
