  • The Old Man And The Gun

    Supposedly going to be Robert Redford's final role.

    “The Old Man and the Gun” stars Redford in the true story of Forrest Tucker, who escaped prison at age 70 and went on an unprecedented string of heists. Casey Affleck, who is a Lowery favorite after “Ain't Them Bodies Saints” and “A Ghosty Story,” plays the detective who becomes obsessed with Tucker. Sissy Spacek, who gets a ton of tender screen time in the trailer, plays the late love of Tucker's life. The film marks the second collaboration between Lowery and Redford after Disney's “Pete's Dragon.”

    Wasn't Forrest Tucker the star of THE CRAWLING EYE and F-Troop?

      Years back, in his book Which Lie Did I Tell, William Goldman was writing about this guy. He pulled up some newspaper clippings and was talking about how this was great material for a movie. But, he wrote, you could never make a movie out of it because where are you finding yourself a movie star, someopne who can carry a movie, in his mid 70s? There you go, he just had to wait for Redford to age into it. Interesting that the trailer also opens with the line "This story is mostly true" gotta think that's a conscious callback to Butch and Sundances opening "most of what follows is true".
