As a cinephile with a penchant for action-packed dramas and a soft spot for talented ensembles, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon learning about the upcoming film “4 Kids Walk Into a Bank.” With the legendary Liam Neeson leading the cast, it promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience that blends the wit and charm of a dark heist comedy with the raw intensity of Neeson’s acting prowess.
In the upcoming heist movie titled “4 Kids Walk Into a Bank“, production has confirmed its cast. This film is slated to be spearheaded by Liam Neeson, renowned for his role in “Taken”. The movie is categorized as a “dark heist comedy” and will feature Neeson working alongside an energetic group of young actors. According to Deadline, the talented Liam Neeson will star in the film, with Talia Ryder, Noah Jupe, Whitney Peak, Jack Dylan Grazer, and newcomer Deacon Phillippe (son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe) also joining the cast. The director for this project is Frankie Shaw, best known for directing “SMILF”.
According to the comic book titled the same name by Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss, the movie’s story revolves around ex-bank robber Danny (played by Neeson) and his granddaughter Paige (Ryder), who share a strong bond. When Paige learns that Danny’s old gang intends to force him into another heist to clear a debt, she devises what she believes is the most sensible plan: she enlists the help of her three closest friends to rob the bank before it’s targeted, so Danny won’t have to.
The screen version of the comic is being created by Matt Robinson, known for collaborating on Dora and The Lost City of Gold, Love and Monsters, and the upcoming Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. This movie project has been jointly developed and partially financed by Erik Feig’s Picturestart, who will also produce alongside Point Gray Pictures, Jessica Switch supervising, and Black Mask Studios with Matt Pizzolo supervising. FilmNation is set to market the film for international distribution prior to next week’s Toronto International Film Festival.
The Young Ensemble Cast Includes It, Do Revenge & A Quiet Place Stars
The movie is ready to showcase a variety of promising new acting talents, such as Talia Ryder, who first appeared in the film “Never Rarely Sometimes Always “(2020), and has since been seen in roles like those in “West Side Story“, “Do Revenge“, “The Sweet East“, “Dumb Money“, and “Little Death“. Ryder is also set to appear in a supporting role in Ethan Coen’s upcoming comedy film, “Honey Don’t!” Currently being produced. Another young actor joining the cast is Noah Jupe, who gained recognition for his part in “A Quiet Place“, a role he reprised in “A Quiet Place Part II“. He can also be seen on Apple TV+ series’ “Franklin” and “Lady in the Lake“, both released this year.
In another development, Whitney Peak has gained notoriety for her performances in the HBO Max reboot of Gossip Girl (2021). She’s also been seen in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and is set to play the lead role in Hocus Pocus 2. On the other hand, Jack Dylan Grazer has become widely recognized for his appearances in It and Its sequel, It Chapter Two, as well as the movies Shazam! and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. His upcoming movie Friendship will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8. Lastly, Deacon Phillippe, the offspring of multiple award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon and actor Ryan Phillippe, is set to make his film debut in 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank.
In the young cast, you’ll find Liam Neeson, a highly experienced actor who gained significant recognition for his outstanding performance in Schindler’s List. This role earned him a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination. His extensive body of work over the years is testament to his talent, and he has transformed his career into becoming the preferred “elder action star” following 2008’s Taken. Among his upcoming projects are 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank, The Naked Gun (due for release in 2025), as well as action films like Thug, Cold Storage, and The Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky.
