‘Nobody’
The 2021 action, crime, and drama amalgam, Nobody, produced by Bob Odenkirk, Marc Provissiero, Braden Aftergood, and Kelly McCormick, tells the story of a vengeful drug lord who hunted down a spectator who helped to save a woman being harassed by a group of guys.
The film is based on the true story of Bob Odenkirk and a harrowing house invasion he suffered in his own life. “I also had this experience in my personal life, where there was a break-in in my home, and it was very distressing to my family,” Odenkirk shared in a virtual interview with Cinema Blend in 2021. “It left me with incredibly powerful and profound feelings of fury, and I believed that if I could draw on those sentiments in that experience, I could launch a voyage into darkness, violence, and action.”
The temptation to convert those emotions into a rough-and-tumble action hero character was the driving force for the making of this film.
Starring as Hutch Mansell in the movie, Odenkirk primarily thought his manager, Marc Provissiero, would laugh at the concept of him portraying an action hero, but that was not the case.
