What do you get when you mix a middle-aged hitman, a crime boss’s son, and an accidental babysitting gig in the streets of London? Absolute cinematic carnage with feelings, duh. The trailer for Josh Duhamel’s new movie London Calling just dropped and it’s giving John Wick meets The Parent Trap but with more sarcasm and British slang.
Josh, who is literally 52 but somehow still looks like he could steal your mom and your girlfriend, stars as a hitman who messes up a job so badly he has to flee the UK faster than you left that group chat with your high school friends. But wait! Instead of retirement or hiding in a cave, his next gig is… babysitting. But not just any babysitting—he’s got to raise the crime boss’s awkward teenage son into a real man. (Yikes.)
The teen in question? Played by Jeremy Ray Taylor, who you might recognize from IT—yes, the clown movie. Except now, he’s trading in red balloons for street cred, and Josh is his morally bankrupt mentor/dad-friend/life coach. It’s kind of like Emily in Paris but with way more punches and zero skincare routines.
Also featuring Rick Hoffman (aka That Guy From Suits Who’s Always Yelling) and Aidan Gillen (aka Littlefinger, still scheming), this movie is gonna be a chaotic cocktail of criminality, fatherly-ish bonding, and probably one heartfelt scene with sad violins.
Directed by Allan Ungar and co-written with Omer Levin Menekse and Quinn Wolfe, London Calling hits theaters on September 19—so cancel whatever lame thing you were planning to do that day.
And if that wasn’t wild enough, Josh just revealed he’s on testosterone therapy. Because apparently being a hot gun-slinging dad figure wasn’t enough—he had to go full superhero serum mode.
🎥💣 Watch the trailer now and prepare to scream: “HE’S NOT A REGULAR HITMAN, HE’S A COOL HITMAN.”
