CS Video: An extended chat with Nobody director Ilya Naishuller

ComingSoon.net had the chance to speak at length with director Ilya Naishuller about the Bob Odenkirk-led action thriller Nobody, which is now in theaters! Naishuller talks about movie villain tropes, wanting to surprise the audience with certain casting choices, making sure Odenkirk was “as cool as possible,” and much more. You can check out the full interview in the player below!

Nobody stars two-time Emmy winner Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked family man who takes all of life’s punches on the chin until the night when two thieves break into his suburban home, in which he disappoints his son and wife after declining to defend himself and his family in an effort to prevent serious violence. With all of his repressed rage finally ready to burst after realizing something precious was stolen during the robbery, Hutch goes on a brutal path to correct things, but after crossing a dangerous adversary and risking his dark secrets being revealed, he must use his dormant fighting instincts and save his family in a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires.

Alongside Odenkirk (Better Call Saul), the ensemble roster for the film includes Nielsen, Gage Munroe (The Shack), Russian actor Aleksey Serebryakov (Amazon’s McMafia), Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), and multi-hyphenate musician-actor RZA (The Man With The Iron Fists).

Nobody is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) from a script by Derek Kolstad, the narrative architect of the John Wick franchise, with Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, the filmmaker of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Deadpool 2, and Atomic Blonde, producing via their 87North label alongside Braden Aftergood (Hell or High Water) for his Eighty Two Films and Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero (Hulu’s PEN15) for Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment. The film is executive produced by Kolstad, Marc S. Fischer, and Tobey Maguire.
