Charlize Theron always looks fantastic, but in her new film, she looks amazing for her age … because she’s over 6,000 years old. Here’s a peek at her new film “The Old Guard.” (She doesn’t look a day over 900.)
Charlize Theron (as Andy): “You can call me Andy. I lead a group of soldiers.”
Soldiers throughout time.
Charlize Theron leads a group of nearly-immortal warriors in “The Old Guard.”
Charlize Theron (as Andy): “Throughout history, we’ve protected this world, fighting in the shadows.”
Charlize Theron: “This was very different from what I’ve done before. I think the technique and the skill level was just on a whole — I mean, I’ve never played a character, obviously, who’s lived more than 6,000 years and has been fighting as a martial arts fighter for that long. And, obviously, the ax was a huge part of her fighting style, and I just had to spend as much time with that ax as that I could until we ended up shooting this film.”
KiKi Layne (as Nile): “So we really never die.”
Matthias Schoenaerts (as Booker): “Just because we keep living doesn’t mean we stop hurting.”
“The Old Guard” marks KiKi Layne’s first foray into action films.
KiKi Layne: “It was crazy, but it’s something that I’ve always wanted to do and definitely challenged me in a very different way. But, I mean, it was great, though. These are real skills that I now have.”
“Love & Basketball” director Gina Prince-Bythewood approached the mythical subject matter from a place of realism.
Gina Prince-Bythewood: “It starts with a vision, and I knew I wanted it to feel grounded and real, and so then it was, ‘How can I put a team around me that will embrace that vision?'”
KiKi Layne (as Nile): “So how old are you?”
Marwan Kenzari (as Joe): “We met in the Crusades.”
KiKi Layne (as Nile): “The Crusades?”
Marwan Kenzari (as Joe): “We killed each other.
Luca Marinelli (as Nicky): “Many times.”
“The Old Guard” becomes available to stream on Netflix this Friday.
