Universal will unleash Hardcore Henry director Ilya Naishuller’s post-home invasion thriller Nobody featuring a badass Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) – yeah, you read that right – on February 19th. And today we have your first look.
Check out the stills via EW below.
Written by Derek Kolstad (John Wick) and produced by David Leitch (Atomic Blonde), the film follows Hutch Mansell, an unassuming family man who cowers and folds during a home invasion. His post-traumatic shame disorder reignites a long-cooled fire within, and he summons a secret lethal skill when intervening to help a woman being harassed by a group of men. Unfortunately, this leads to Hutch becoming the target of a vengeful drug lord and puts his family in jeopardy.
Odenkirk thought-up the idea following his experience with real-life break-ins. He tells EW: “I think I handled them well, but you can’t help but kind of wish you’d done more. I thought I’d just work with that dark energy to see if there was a story there.“
He adds: “I really wanted to go way far outside, like 180 degrees outside my comfort zone. Just commit to this guy, commit to his rage, and commit to his commitment to what he’s doing. The fist-bloodying fight sequences were as much fun as being in a comedy room. I mean, I’ve never had that much fun since we wrote Mr. Show. It’s a group effort. Anytime you see a fight sequence in a movie that has a bunch of people, as soon as they yell ‘Cut!,’ everyone laughs. There’s all this interaction and group problem-solving that goes on.”
Nobody co-starring Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, RZA, Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath, Colin Salmon, and Humberly González hits on February 19, 2021.
