“Keanu” will be slated for release on 22th April 2016. Don’t be fool by its name because the movie is not the biopic of certain actor. Starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, the movie is actually named after a cat of the same name. It is about the cat that was “abducted by a street gang”, prompting its human owners to go “undercover as drug dealers”.
Peter Atencio (of “Key & Peele” fame) is helming the movie, which will go head-to-head with Universal’s “The Huntsman”, sequel to the 2012’s “Snow White and the Huntsman“.
“Going In Style” will have several big name actors starring in it, namely Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Alan Arkin. The film is actually a remake of the 1979 Martin Brest comedy of the same name. It tells the story of 3 senior citizens who decide to rob a bank together after living a life of routines and monotony. Zach Braff (“Chicken Little”) and Theodore Melfi (“St. Vincent”) have already signed on to direct the remake.
Set to be released on 6th May 2016, “Going In Style” will face a formidable opponent, as it is slated to open on the same week as “Captain America: Civil War“.
