With less than two months to go until the film's release, the trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Killing Gunther” has finally arrived! Definitely worth the wait, this looks like it could very well be Arnold’s greatest comedy of all time! In a mocumentary-style film, Killing Gunther tells the story of a group of eccentric international assassins who become fed up with Gunther (Schwarzenegger), 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.
We’re loving the official poster and we’re thrilled Schwarzenegger is making a comeback to comedy. With depressing-themed dramas such as Maggie and Aftermath over the past several years, Schwarzenegger hasn’t had an opportunity to shine with his natural charisma. Gunther looks like a return to fun comedy with some over-the-top action that only a Schwarzenegger can successful deliver!
Killing Gunther is directed by Saturday Night Live and Hamilton star Taran Killam, making his directorial debut. Killam also wrote the script and will star in the ensemble along with his wife, actress Cobie Smulders, SNL’s Bobby Moynihan, Paul Brittain, Kumail Nanjiani, Randall Park and Ryan Gaul. Look for "Killing Gunther” to hit theaters and Video on Demand on October 20th, 2017!
