Lyle Workman has announced on Twitter that he will be scoring the upcoming action comedy Stand Up Guys. The film is directed by actor/director Fisher Stevens who received an Academy Award for his documentary The Cove and stars Al Pacino and Christopher Walken as two aging criminals, one of whom has been hired to kill his friend. They decide to enjoy one last night of debauchery, but also face the choices they made in their lives. Alan Arkin, Julianna Margulies, Vanessa Ferlito and Katheryn Winnick are co-starring in the comedy. Noah Hydle has written the script and Sidney Kimmel (The Lincoln Lawyer, Lars and the Real Girl), Gary Lucchessi (Underworld, Crank), Tom Rosenberg (Million Dollar Baby) and Jim Tauber are producing the Simmy Kimmel Entertainment and Lakeshore Entertainment production. Stand Up Guys is currently in post-production and will be premiering at this year’s Toronto Film Festival.
As previously reported, Workman also has the comedies 21 and Over, Fun Size and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone starring Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell coming up.
