That’s quite the horrific headline isn’t it? Robert De Niro involved with another grandpa movie. Well, hopefully this one isn’t as ‘Dirty’ as The War With Grandpa is based on Robert Kimmel Smith’s famous book of the same name that has some pretty big acclaim in the literary world.
According to the official synopsis, the story revolves around the central character of Peter, who is thrilled that Grandpa is coming to live with his family. That is, until Grandpa moves right into Peter’s room, forcing him upstairs.
Peter loves his grandpa but wants his room back. He has no choice but to declare war! With the help of his friends, Peter devises outrageous plans to make Grandpa surrender the room. But Grandpa is tougher than he looks. Rather than give in, Grandpa plans to get even.
The big news is that Christopher Walken has just joined the cast and this film will be the first time that the two have appeared alongside one another since the 1970s Oscar-winner The Deer Hunter. The other news is that American Pie actor Eugene Levy has also joined the cast in an unspecified role.
Tim Hill (Hop) is directing with an April 2017 release already set.
