Freestyle Releasing has debuted a new domestic trailer for the UK comedy Wild Target. Bill Nighy stars as an assassin whose "professional routine is interrupted when he finds himself drawn to one of his intended victims, Rose (Emily Blunt)... He spares her life, unexpectedly acquiring a young apprentice in the process, Tony (Rupert Grint)." Rupert Everett, Eileen Atkins, Martin Freeman, and Gregor Fisher round out the cast of Wild Target, directed by Jonathan Lynn (The Whole Nine Yards). Check out the trailer after the jump.
That's a fun cast, and I found quite a few laughs in the trailer. Lynn has a few notable screwball comedies on his resume --- Clue, My Cousin Vinny, The Whole Nine Yards. I'm really fond of Clue. I like the prospects for this one.
