As a comic book enthusiast with a soft spot for heist stories and a deep appreciation for the talents of Liam Neeson, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming adaptation of “4 Kids Walk Into a Bank“. Having grown up reading Black Mask Comics, I’ve followed this project since its inception, and it’s truly heartening to see such a talented ensemble coming together.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that it seems like the long-awaited movie adaptation of “4 Kids Walk Into a Bank” might be shaping up. Over the weekend, whispers circulated about Talia Ryder (“Do Revenge”), Noah Jupe (“A Quiet Place”), Whitney Peak (“Gossip Girl”), Jack Dylan Grazer (“It”) and newcomer Deacon Phillippe possibly joining the cast of this upcoming Picturestart film. If these talks materialize, Liam Neeson (“Taken”) might also be part of this exciting project. The movie is based on the Black Mask miniseries with the same title, penned by Matthew Rosenberg (DC vs. Vampires, The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing) and illustrated by Tyler Boss (What’s the Furthest Place From Here?, The Department of Truth).
Matthew Robinson, known for movies like “Love and Monsters” and “Dora and the Lost City of Gold”, wrote the initial script for “4 Kids Walk Into a Bank”. Later, Frankie Shaw, who has worked on shows such as “SMILF” and “Mr. Robot”, made revisions to the script. Liam Neeson is set to play Danny, an ex-con character, while Chloe Grace Moretz will portray his granddaughter, named Paige, in this film.
What Is 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank About?
4 Kids Walk Into a Bank centers around Danny, a former bank robber whose cherished granddaughter Paige holds a special place in his heart. When he learns that his old gang intends to pull him back into crime for one final job to settle a debt, it’s Paige who devises an ingenious plan: She persuades her closest friends to carry out a bank robbery the day prior, thus preventing Danny from having to commit the crime himself.
Previously, Rosenberg shared with Paul Semel that discussing the topic extensively isn’t feasible for him. He finds it flattering but observes a common perception in film, TV, and comic industries that comics are the “younger sibling.” This means that creators of comics typically hope their work will be adapted into another format. Despite knowing more people consume television and films compared to reading comics, Rosenberg doesn’t view this as the ultimate goal. He finds this comparison somewhat demeaning because they have produced a comic that stands on its own merits. If something additional happens (like adaptation into other media), that’s great; if not, it’s acceptable too. However, he believes it’s crucial to emphasize that the work is primarily a comic, and while it could potentially become a movie, such movies are rare nowadays.
