The Old Man and the Gun
Robert Redford plays a true calling malefactor in the trailer for David Lowery ’s criminal offence caper , The Old Man and the Gun . The picture will mark the Hollywood legend and Sundance Film Festival founding father ’s last onscreen coming into court , now that he has announcedhis intention to recede from movie playacting .
save and mastermind by Lowery , The Old Man and the Gunstars Redford as Forrest Tucker , a real - sprightliness crook who spent the majority of his life robbing banks - when he was n’t getting arrested by the police force and breaking out of prison , that is . Sissy Spacek costars in the film as Jewel - a char who falls for Forrest in spite of his not - so - legal professing - along with a stomach mould that include Lowery ’s frequent collaborators Casey Affleck and Isiah Whitlock Jr. , Tika Sumpter ( Ride Along 1 & 2 ) , Danny Glover ( Sorry to Bother You ) , and Tom Waits ( Seven Psychopaths ) . you may watch the latest trailer forThe Old Man and the Gunin the space below .

judge by its house trailer , The Old Man and the Gunis the snug thing to a comedy that Lowery has made in his filmmaking career , thus far . It certainly seems to be the most upbeat flick he ’s directed to day of the month , even more so than Lowery ’s mostly impulsive , but also decidedly somberPete ’s Dragonremake for Disney ( which Redford costarred in ) . alike , The Old Man and the Guntrailer shot are far more chipper than either the storyteller ’s meditativeA Ghost Story(a singular moving-picture show that does n’t fit foursquare into any one genre box ) or his old speculation into the land of crime movies withAin’t Them Bodies Saints(another one of his collaborationism with Affleck ) .
The Old Man and the Gunitself is further among the indie and/or smaller - budget fall vent that will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival , before making its debut in U.S. theaters . Assuming the movie is well - received there and goes on to become an awards season contender , there ’s a middling chance the Academy will realise Redford with one final acting nomination , in acknowledgment of his final bow . The fact that Redford has never won an Oscar for playacting - and has n’t even been nominated sinceThe Stingin 1974 - only improves the odds of him down another nod , at long last .
Oscar talk aside , though , The Old Man and the Gunlooks like a well - crafted and otherwise entertaining while of storytelling , conk out by the trailer footage . It also promises to be one of the more scant - hearted prestige films coming out in the last four calendar month of 2018 , and seems refreshingly merry for a biopic about a lifelong crook who can only continue to elude the bureau for so much longer . Indeed , all thing study , Reford may have chosen the stark film to service as his last hurrah onscreen .
