Universal Pictures’ Nobody 2, from 87North, Eighty Two Films and OPE Partners, arrives in theaters nationwide today.
New to the Nobody franchise is composer Dominic Lewis, who has scored four previous 87North films. For Nobody 2, Lewis and the film’s director, Timo Tjahjanto, wanted to go a little wild. “Both Timo and I wanted to have the wheels fall off,” Lewis says. “Nobody 2 has everything. It’s got emotion, action, laughs. It’s got great bad guys. It goes from New Orleans jazz to serious orchestral music to blues rock.”
All of that is reflected in the score. “I went crazy, and everyone came with me,” Lewis says. “We have this blend of blues, country rock, with crazy keyboards and synths. Timo was all about, ‘Let’s swing for the fences. If it’s too much, I’ll pull you back,’ but he never did. I was allowed to roam free in the sandbox.” Lewis incorporated the crooning and big-band sounds from the first film, but then all bets were off. “I’ve gone for a very blues-country rock meets mucked-up fairground noises and keyboards,” Lewis says. “It’s a different vibe for the score.”
The film’s music includes a cover of the 1963 Tony Bennett classic, “The Good Life,” with singer JOSÉ JAMES, a jazz artist for the hip-hop generation, whose music blurs the lines between traditional and contemporary jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk, pop and rock.
It also features a cover of the iconic Johnny Cash hit, also from 1963, “Ring of Fire,” produced by Lewis and performed by acclaimed American rocker DES ROCS. The song, in fact, takes up serious melodic and rhythmic space throughout the film, as the main character, workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk), and his family take a vacation to the small tourist town of Plummerville. “You even hear the song at the beginning of the film when we’re not yet in Plummerville,” Lewis says. “There are hints of guitars coming through when Hutch is in his day-to-day life, whether it be killing Corsicans or at home with the family. Once the family gets to Plummerville, the guitars and crazy drums come out. The ‘Ring of Fire’ cover comes out, and it all goes nuts. Plummerville was, sonically, the North Star for this movie.”
ABOUT NOBODY 2
Sometimes the most dangerous place for a dad is a family vacation.
Bob Odenkirk returns as suburban husband, father and workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell in the new chapter to Nobody, the hit 2021 bare-knuckle action-thriller that opened at number one at the U.S. box office.
Four years after he inadvertently took on the Russian mob, Hutch remains $30 million in debt to the criminal organization and is working it off with an unending string of hits on international thugs.
Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his “job,” Hutch and his wife Becca (International Emmy nominee Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry (Grammy and Emmy nominee RZA) went on a vacation as kids.
With Hutch’s dad (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville (“Plummerville is Summerville!”), eager for some fun in the sun.
But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz; Fast and Furious franchise, Bumblebee) and his shady sheriff (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Emmy winning and Oscar® nominated screen icon, Sharon Stone).
Nobody 2 is an 87North/Eighty Two Films/OPE Partners production, directed by Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, The Big 4). The screenplay is by returning writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick, Die Hart) and by Aaron Rabin (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), from a story by Derek Kolstad, based on characters created by Derek Kolstad.
This film’s returning producers are 87North founders Kelly McCormick p.g.a. (Bullet Train, The Fall Guy) and David Leitch p.g.a. (Bullet Train, The Fall Guy); OPE Partners founder Marc Provissiero (No Hard Feelings, PEN15), Eighty Two Films founder Braden Aftergood p.g.a. (Hell or High Water, Samaritan); and Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad). The executive producers are David Hyman, Derek Kolstad and Tobey Maguire.
