‘Robot and Frank’ stars Frank Langella as an old man forging an unlikely bond with his Peter Sarsgaard-voiced robot butler, which starts off as an odd-couple comedy and then turns into a heist film, because Langella used to be a jewel thief. It looks pretty great, and they loved it at Sundance. Take a look.
Sarsgaard is from Jarhead, An Education and Green Lantern, apparently; Frank Lagella played Nixon in Frost/Nixon, which means you get to pretend that this is really a movie about Nixon and his robot butler. The film also features Liv Tyler (Lord of the Rings), Susan Sarandon, and James Marsden (X-Men).
It’s in theaters in August.
Mostly this just get me bummed out about how we don’t have real robot assistants yet.
