A film starring Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Tommy Lee Jones can only go one of two ways.
Either it’s a passion project and a bit of fun for the Oscar-winning actors who have already secured their fame and names in Hollywood, or it’s going to be one of the best films you’ll take in this year.
I feel like this is going to be the latter.
The trio of powerhouse actors appear alongside Eddie Griffin, Zach Braff, and Emile Hirsch in The Comeback Trail, a remake of the 1982 movie of the same name which starred Chuck McCann in his final role.
Here’s Critical Hit with a synopsis:
Set in ‘70s Hollywood, De Niro and Braff play a pair of movie producers heavily indebted to a mobster (Freeman). In order to pay off their debt they hatch an ingenious scam – set up a fake movie, cast an aging movie star (Jones) in the lead role, and then make sure he dies while shooting a dangerous stunt in order to claim on his life insurance. There’s just one problem: he just won’t die.
It sounds like comedy gold, and angry De Niro is always worth a movie ticket.
A taste of that classic rage is on show in the trailer:
The film is billed for release in the US on November 13.
Look out for it in South African cinemas, which are once again open for business, soon thereafter.
