The trailer of the upcoming action-comedy ‘The Pickup’, was unveiled on Monday. It blends high-octane action with sharp humour. It stars Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer in the lead. The film follows the story of a routine cash pickup, which goes awry, when two mismatched armoured truck drivers, Russell (played by Eddie Murphy) and Travis (played by Pete Davidson), are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (played by Keke Palmer).
The film brings together two generations of comedy under one roof, and sets the stage for an explosive and hilarious partnership. It is directed by Tim Story, who’s known for his work on ‘The Blackening’, ‘Barbershop’ and ‘Ride Along’.
The film also stars Eva Longoria, Marshawn Lynch, Joe ‘Roman Reigns’ Anoa’i, Andrew Dice Clay, and Ismael Cruz Cordova. The film delivers heart-pounding thrills, sharp comedy, and unexpected mishaps — everyone’s in for a hilarious and wild ride.
Earlier, Eddie Murphy had revealed that actor-director Sidney Poitier advised him not to star in ‘Malcom X’ which was originally being put together by Poitier’s ‘In the Heat of the Night’ director Norman Jewison. (IANS)
