It begins filming April 3rd and Redford says it will be his last film. I wonder if it'll be ready this year. Fox Searchlight is closing a deal for distribution rights in the U.S., Canada and UK to The Old Man And The Gun, the David Lowery-directed drama that teams Robert Redford and Casey Affleck. Sissy Spacek, Danny Glover, Tiki Sumpter and Isiah Whitlock are also set and Tom Waits and Elizabeth Moss are negotiating to join a film that begins shooting April 3 in Cincinnati. Redford plays the title character in a film based on the true story that originated in a 2003 New Yorker magazine feature written by David Grann. Forrest Tucker (Redford) has been on the wrong side of the law since he was a teen. He grew into a career bank robber who broke out of prison 18 times, including a daring escape from San Quentin at age 70. The film covers his twilight years, and an unprecedented string of daring heists that confound authorities and enchants the public. Wrapped up in this chase are a detective (Affleck) who becomes captivated with Forrest’s commitment to his craft, and a woman (Spacek) who loves him in spite of his chosen profession. Stern, who worked on the Searchlight deal with CAA and WME Global, wouldn’t comment on that but said: “The film seems a wonderful epilogue to many of the great films he has made. The cast has come together so strongly, and we think this is going to be a great one. deadline.com/2017/03/robert-redford-fox-searchlight-casey-affleck-the-old-man-and-the-gun-1202049524/

I do wonder if this will release this year-- perhaps NYFF closing film
Searchlight needs a serious contender: Battle of Sexes has Sept release, Billboards is undated and might be too odd to be fully embraced, Milne biopic might be pedestrian Oscar bait
I'd assume they'd pick up the Baumbach or Scott Cooper's Hostiles before or after TIFF

Sounds really good. Affleck & Lowery are a great actor/director combo .

Wouldn't surprise me if Redford does another film in five years. Looks good.

That's a prime awards-release date, and Fox Searchlight is a great campaigner . . . but the Affleck taint might be problematic for the film overall.

Most reasonable people are really really REALLY fed up with the fascist excesses of the #MeCarthyism wing of #MeToo (you can tell by the reactions to the story of Louis CK making a comeback), and I predict it will only be WORSE by the time of the film's release.

I'm absolutely down for this. Such a charmer of a trailer. Really hope to see Redford and Sissy get in, and that Tom Waits has a good part.
Also, you can't fool us with that mustache, Casey Affleck. We know it's you.

Looks pretty darned fantastic.
Only thing is it looks maybe a little too quiet (and almost by proxy, less showy) for its actors. Hope I'm wrong, just a small impression it made.

Holy shit, that looks fantastic.
Searchlight bumping the release date to September means it probably won't be a heavy hitter, but Redford and Spacek are very much in the running.
