Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin Are Going To Rob a Bank

Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that production is now underway on location in New York City on the New Line Cinema comedy Going in Style, directed by Zach Braff (Garden State) and starring Oscar winners Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), Michael Caine (The Cider House Rules, Hannah and Her Sisters) and Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine).

Freeman, Caine and Arkin team up as lifelong buddies Willie, Joe and Al, who decide to buck retirement and step off the straight-and-narrow for the first time in their lives when their pension fund becomes a corporate casualty. Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, the three risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money.

Directing one of the greatest actors of all time, Michael Caine. So honored. #GoingInStyle

The film also stars two-time Oscar nominee Ann-Margret (Tommy, Carnal Knowledge) as Annie, a grocery cashier who’s been checking Al out in more ways than one; Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) as Joe’s former son-in-law, Murphy, whose pot clinic connections may finally prove useful; John Ortiz as Jesus, a man of unspecified credentials who agrees to show them the ropes; Joey King  as Joe’s whip-smart granddaughter, Brooklyn; Christopher Lloyd as the guys’ lodge buddy, Milton; and Oscar nominee Matt Dillon as FBI Agent Hamer.

Braff will direct from a screenplay by Theodore Melfi , based on the film by Martin Brest.
