I don’t recall much of the Covid years. Do any of us? But I do remember being amped for Bob Odenkirk’s John Wick moment in Nobody. I am, of course, a fan of the Sleeping Assassin subgenre and Nobody was a nice take on it.
It was obviously set up to make a franchise going forward, but, you know, Covid. I don’t think it did any numbers at the box office because nothing did anything at the box office back then.
But maybe it was a streaming hit because I just read that there is a Nobody 2 dropping next year, and Sharon Stone is the villain. Weird. I was just wondering about what happened to her the other day. No mystery, of course. She’s a woman in Hollywood. She aged out of the business. So it’ll be cool to see her back. She does play the villain well. Her turn on a dime in Total Recall was great.
From Empire:
Where Odenkirk’s Hutch faced off against a vengeful Russian crime lord in the first film, the sequel will see him pitted against Sharon Stone’s unpredictable villain. According to Tjahjanto, she’s a force of nature. “Her performance reminds me a lot of Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast,” he says of that film’s relentless, potty-mouthed psychopath Don Logan. “She is definitely an alpha female. She doesn’t take shit from anybody. This is a villain that is unique, and she’s making this character completely batshit crazy.”
