Hutch is officially back in the new poster for Nobody 2, and yes, he has the kitty cat bracelet.

In the new official poster, provided by @NobodyMovie on X, Bob Odenkirk's Hutch is wearing a Hawaiian shirt and, in a hilarious nod to the previous film, is also wearing a Kitty cat bracelet. According to Bleeding Cool News, Universal unveiled the new poster for the highly anticipated sequel before their presentation at CinemaCon. Nobody was one of 2021's biggest surprises, with a solid box office haul of $57.5 million worldwide, and it received its fair share of positive reviews. Nobody earned an 84% Rotten Tomatoes score and showed that Odenkirk could pull off John Wick-style action sequences just as well as he can make audiences laugh. The highly anticipated sequel is set to land in theaters on August 15. Check out the first official poster for Nobody 2 below.

What is Nobody 2 About?...

Fresh off of directing the Bob Odenkirk action sequel Nobody 2 (which is now in post-production) for Universal, Timo Tjahjanto has signed on to direct the Jason Statham action sequel The Beekeeper 2 for Miramax! Deadline reports that filming on the Statham movie is expected to begin this fall.

Directed by David Ayer from a screenplay written by Kurt Wimmer, The Beekeeper was a surprisingly good action flick that showed us what happens when one man’s brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as “Beekeepers.” As Deadline reminds us, it was about Adam Clay, a retired clandestine human intelligence operative who sets out for revenge after his kind-hearted landlady becomes the victim of a phishing scam that steals millions of dollars from a charity she runs. Wimmer has written the screenplay for the sequel,...

International finance, production and sales company Est N8 has been in talks with buyers at AFM on Indonesian horror thriller The Hole after acquiring international rights.

Hanung Bramantyo directed the story co-written with Haqi Achmad. The story blends noir with supernatural horror and is said to be in the vein of Seven, The Wailing, and Ringu.

Set in rural Indonesia, The Hole follows a police officer’s journey into darkness as he investigates a series of brutal murders targeting village officials. As he delves deeper, he uncovers sinister secrets about the victims that put him and his loved ones at risk.

Starring Break Bad and Better Call Saul's beloved veteran actor Bob Odenkirk, Nobody made a surprise splash when it hit theaters in early 2021, during the tumultuous box-office stretch of the post-pandemic. Despite the pedigree of its main star, this small-budget action flick punched well above everyone's expectations, delivering nearly $60 million on a budget of just $16 million.

A lot of that success has to do with not just Bob Odenkirk's presence (although that certainly helped) but also the creative DNA that Nobody shares with the John Wick franchise, being written by Wick's creator, Derek Kolstad. Following that warm reception, it didn't take long for Kolstad and members of the film's cast to begin teasing the possibility of a sequel. Now, three years later, fans know that a sequel to Nobody isn't just on its way; it's almost here.

Bob Odenkirk,...

The return of a reality TV monster that’s sure to dominate social media conversation; Charlie and Nick’s blossoming romance; a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the NBA courtesy of LeBron James and Anthony Edwards; the latest gem from an action auteur; Tyler Perry’s first Netflix television drama and another helping espionage and drama from Keri Russell are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in October.

Coming in hot on Oct. 2 is the new season of Netflix’s reality dating show Love Is Blind. The seventh go around for the main franchise — the brand has now expanded into several country-specific versions — will see a fresh batch of singles heading into the pods, hoping to find love and marry their match, all within a worryingly compressed timeline. The show, which is still billed as a “social experiment,” has experienced some bad PR in recent seasons,...

Nobody 2 is now reloaded, cocked and shooting under the direction of Timo Tjahjanto, who is stepping in for the first film’s director, Ilya Naishuller. Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell, the mild-manner family man who keeps his past as a government assassin under wraps. Connie Nielsen is also returning as Hutch’s wife, Becca, as well as Christopher Lloyd as Hutch’s father, a retired FBI agent. It was also announced a couple of months ago that Sharon Stone would be playing the main villain of the sequel.

Tjahjanto’s previous credits include May the Devil Take You, The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You Too, The Big 4, and segments of the anthologies The ABCs of Death, V/H/S/2, Portals, and V/H/S/94. With Kimo Stamboel, he also co-directed the films Macabre, Killers, and Headshot. He is now promoting his new release, Netflix’s The Shadow Strays,...

Timo Tjahjanto, the Indonesian genre film director who commands a fiercely loyal following, has dropped a trailer for his upcoming action thriller “The Shadow Strays.”

Audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival will get the first look at the completed film as it screens in the festival’s Midnight Madness section. It will then upload to Netflix on Oct. 17.

According to a supplied synopsis, the film “follows the story of Codename 13, a young assassin who finds herself suspended after a mission gone wrong. During her downtime, she bonds with Monji, a boy who recently lost his mother to a crime syndicate. When Monji disappears, 13 embarks on a quest to find him, even if it means going against her mentor and the organization she belongs to, The Shadows.”

The film dives deep into themes of redemption and loyalty and is set against the backdrop of a brutal and unforgiving underworld.

Netflix has released the first teaser trailer and premiere date for Timo Tjahjanto’s hotly anticipated action film The Shadow Strays.

The Indonesian film tells the story of Codename 13, a young assassin who finds herself suspended after a mission gone wrong. The logline reads, “During her downtime, [13] bonds with Monji, a boy who recently lost his mother to a crime syndicate. When Monji disappears, 13 embarks on a quest to find him, even if it means going against her mentor and the organization she belongs to, “The Shadows.”

The Shadow Strays will hit the streamer on Oct .17, but first screen at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness sidebar this September.

The cast includes Aurora Ribero, Hana Malasan, Ali Fikry, Adipati Dolken and Andri Mashadi.

Already a huge name in Asian cinema, for his own work and for being one half of The Mo Brothers with friend and fellow Indonesian filmmaker Kimo Stamboel,...

Back in 2021, actor/comedian Bob Odenkirk – who is best known for playing the role of con artist turned lawyer Saul Goodman on the TV series on Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul – made the unexpected move of playing a retired government assassin in the action thriller Nobody. Doing the unexpected worked out, as Nobody was a success, making $57.5 million at the box office on a budget of $16 million. That was enough to get a sequel greenlit – and now that production has started on that sequel, we figured this was a good time to put together a list of Everything We Know About Nobody 2!

Script

Scripted by John Wick writer Derek Kolstad, Nobody saw Odenkirk playing Hutch Mansell, an office worker and family man who proves to be a capable fighter when facing off with a group of drunk criminals on a bus. He’s a bit too capable,...

Timo Tjahjanto, director of Nobody 2, is known for his brutal and bloody action thrillers. The Night Comes for Us features intense fight scenes and a surprisingly emotional father-daughter dynamic. Nobody 2, with Bob Odenkirk, promises to deliver action-packed thrills and emotional depth.

Before Timo Tjahjanto directs Bob Odenkirk in the highly anticipated Nobody 2, its the perfect time to check out the filmmakers criminally underrated action thriller on Netflix. With Better Call Sauls Odenkirk in the lead role, playing a seemingly ordinary suburban family guy who turns out to have a dark history of government wetwork, Nobody offered a fresh perspective on the action genre. A sequel to Nobody has been in the works since it arrived as a sleeper hit in 2021. Despite being released at the tail end of the pandemic, it made a minor splash at the box office.

In the past few months, work on Nobody 2 has finally gotten underway.

Big news has been revealed for the sequel to Nobody. The film will be starting production this summer now that its director has been found, and it will be released on Aug. 15, 2025.

Earlier in June, there were reports that Nobody 2 was gearing up for a production starting in August, though a director still hadn't yet been named. Deadline has shared an update on the sequel by further confirming that the production is slated to begin in August. Also revealed is that Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto has signed on to direct the movie following previous reports that the first movie's director, Ilya Naishuller, would not be helming the second installment.

Tjahjanto is one half of a writing-directing pair with Kimo Stamboel that are colloquially known as the Mo Brothers and previously delivered “Headshot.” However, it was as a solo director that Tjahjanto was signed to a multi-film deal with Netflix in 2022.

Production of the new title is handled by Frontier Pictures with Wicky V. Olindo and Anne P. Ralie named as producers. The completion date has not been revealed.

Tjahjanto has assembled a kicking ensemble cast, many of whom previously appeared in “The Big 4.” The cast includes Aurora Ribero, Hana Malasan (“Ben & Jody”), Ali Fikri, Adipati Dolken, Kristo Immanuel (“The Big 4”), Andri Mashadi, Taskya Namya (“Waktu Maghrib”), Agra Piliang,...

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) is a regional intergovernmental organization comprising of ten countries in Southeast Asia, namely Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam. Evidently, the movie industry of these countries does not yet reach the size of Japan, India and S. Korea for example, so we decided to include them in one list, although we still retain a hope that in the next years, we will see a cinematic boom from there also. Evidently, the Philippines are at least a step ahead of the rest of the Asean countries in that regard, which is the reason so many films from the country are included in the list, but particularly in 2020, both Malaysia and Indonesia have taken step forward, with a number of exciting productions. Also of note is that this list includes a number of shorts, from directors we feel will draw attention...

Earlier this month, the 2020 Nightstream Film Festival offered up genre fans a ton of amazing online offerings to enjoy throughout its four-day festivities. Here’s a look at two of the films I had the opportunity to watch during Nightstream: May the Devil Take You Too from Timo Tjahjanto (which hits Shudder soon) and Jesse Blanchard’s puppet splatterfest, Frank & Zed.

May the Devil Take You Too: Two years ago, Timo Tjahjanto unleashed May the Devil Take You, his demonic thrill ride pitting a young woman named Alfie (Chelsea Islan) and her step-family against sinister forces that want nothing more than to claim their souls. Now, Tjahjanto is back with his follow-up effort, May the Devil Take You Too, which feels slightly more ambitious and polished than its predecessor, and once again evokes a Raimi-esque sense of banana pants filmmaking that delivers up a ton of devilishly fun gore and violence.

Shudder has plenty of treats for horror fans to dig into this Halloween season, with a jam-packed October release schedule that includes an animated Creepshow Halloween Special, Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, Timo Tjahjanto's May the Devil Take You Too, "The Price of Fright" Vincent Price collection, Chris Lamartina's Wnuf Halloween Special, and much more!
