The last time these two shared screen credits was in the Tarantino-scripted, Tony Scott-directed masterpiece that is True Romance.
Soon we’ll get to see Christopher Walken and Christian Slater together again as they join forces in “The Power of Few” for Arclight Films. The film will also feature Q’orianka Kilcher (Terrence Malick’s The New World) as a woman who in agreeing to transport a mystery package gets caught up in a globe-spanning plot that could (ominous low-pitched voice) “threaten the whole world”.
We don’t know yet the identity of the characters that Walken and Slater will play, though I would hazard a guess that Walken will play the villain. Anthony Anderson (K-Ville, Transformers) and Franke Potente (Run, Lola, Run and The Bourne Identity) are also on board. Leone Marucci will direct from his own script.
Shooting is due to kick off in New Orleans later this month. Hopefully we’ll get to see Slater rise above the lesser quality of a lot of his recent work and Walken depart from the more light-hearted likes of Balls of Fury, Wedding Crashers and Click and instead get his teeth into something a little more substantial.
