Teresa Palmer Joins Liam Neeson In Orion’s Dark Comedy ‘4 Kids Walk Into A Bank’

EXCLUSIVE: Warm Bodies and A Discovery Of Witches actress Teresa Palmer has joined dark comedy 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, which is being directed by Frankie Shaw for Amazon MGM’s Orion label. 

Pic stars Liam Neeson, Talia Ryder, Whitney Peak, Jack Dylan Grazer, Spike Fearn, Jim Sturgess, Caylee Cowan, George Basil, Sam Strike and Deacon Phillippe.

Producers are Picturestart, Miramax, Point Grey, Black Mask Studios and Uncle Pete Productions. FilmNation handles sales. Filming began in December in Ireland.

Neeson plays ex-bank robber Danny, whose teenage granddaughter Paige (Ryder) means the world to him. So when she overhears that his former gang is pulling him back in for one more score to pay a debt, she comes up with the only logical solution: she enlists her three ride-or-die best friends to rob the bank the day before so he doesn’t have to.

Adapted by Matt Robinson, the film is based on the graphic novel written by Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss. Palmer plays the manager of the bank and love interest to one of the robbers.  

As we revealed earlier this week, Palmer also recently joined Russell Crowe action film Bear Country. She will next be seen starring in the limited series The Family Next Door, and the drama series The Last Anniversary, based on the novel by Liane Moriarty and executive-produced by Nicole Kidman. She recently starred in rom-com Addition, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and David Leitch’s The Fall Guy.

Palmer is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360, Shanahan Management and Sloane Offer Weber and Dern.
