Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on for new action comedy Why We’re Killing Gunther, a film written and directed by Saturday Night Live‘s Taran Killam.
The Avengers star Cobie Smulders will also star in the movie, which is set to start production very soon. The Hollywood Reporter says that the film ‘focuses on a group of eccentric international assassins who become fed up with Gunther, the world’s greatest hitman who also happens to be an arrogant show-off, and decide to kill him. Their master plan, however, quickly turns into a series of embarrassing encounters as Gunther always appears one step ahead.’
Also appearing will be Paul Brittain (Hotel Transylvania 2, Saturday Night Live), Ryan Gaul (Identity Thief, House of Lies), Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live, Sisters), Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates) and Randall Park (The Interview, Fresh Off the Boat).
The trade says that shooting will start up this June. More as we get it.
