Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in Taran Killam’s Why We’re Killing Gunther

Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to headline a new action comedy called Why We’re Killing Gunther. Taran Killam (SNL) wrote the script and will make his directorial debut with the film.

The story focuses on a group of eccentric international assassins who become fed up with Gunther, the world’s greatest hitman who also happens to be an arrogant show-off, and decide to kill him. Their master plan, however, quickly turns into a series of embarrassing encounters as Gunther always appears one step ahead.

Killam will star in the ensemble along with his wife, actress Cobie Smulders, SNL’s Bobby Moynihan, Paul Brittain, Kumail Nanjiani, Randall Park and Ryan Gaul.

Sound like it could be a lot of fun and filming is due to begin in June.
