Deacon Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon’s son, is in talks to work with Liam Neeson on a movie
Deacon, whom Witherspoon shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, will appear in the movie alongside several other young up-and-coming actors.
Deacon Phillippe, the son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, is in talks to make his feature-length film debut alongside Liam Neeson.
On Friday, Aug. 30, Deadline reported that Deacon, 20, may be starring in a brand-new heist film alongside Neeson, 72. Titled 4 Kids Walk into a Bank, the movie will also feature Talia Ryder, Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place), Whitney Peak (Gossip Girl) and Jack Dylan Grazer (It), according to the outlet.
Deadline describes the movie — which is based on Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss’ graphic novel of the same name and set to be directed by Frankie Shaw — as a “dark heist comedy.”
“Neeson will play ex-bank robber Danny, whose teenage granddaughter Paige (Ryder) means the world to him,” according to a synopsis from Deadline.
“So when she overhears that his former gang is pulling him back in for one more score to pay a debt, she comes up with the only logical solution:
She enlists her three ride-or-die best friends to rob the bank the day before so he doesn’t have to.”
