Karen Gillan to star in all-female assassin movie with a cool name 

Aux Features Film

Israeli directors Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado, the duo behind Big Bad Wolves, are certainly swinging for the fences with their next project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it’s a movie “in the assassin genre” that takes place across multiple generations and is being “envisioned” with an all-female cast that’s lead by Karen Gillan from Guardians Of The Galaxy. That’s all good, but it gets better: The movie is called Gunpowder Milkshake, which is an awesome name, and it’s being pitched as Kill Bill crossed with Baby Driver. Essentially, it’s like someone said “make a movie that sounds cool as shit,” and these two guys said “yeah, sure.”

That’s about all we know at this point, but there’s enough there for us to contemplate. For instance, what the hell does Gunpowder Milkshake mean? Is it somebody’s cool nickname? And how do you tell a story that spans generations and also focuses on Karen Gillan? Will she play an old lady who assassinates people and also a younger lady who assassinates people? And what about this Baby Driver nod? Will there be cool pop music that also spans generations, so we’re following different cool assassin women who listen to cool music in different eras? We should stop, because otherwise we’re going to end up writing our own cool movie.

        Really, this movie should be called Nebula, where the title character just goes around killing people and dishing out attitude, and her resume is basically just “my dad killed half the universe.”

      For everything wrong in the world, at the very least very talented, charming, funny people are getting sizable paychecks due to Marvel.

    I swear Gunpowder Milkshake was on that list of rejected names for American Graffiti.

    • volante3192-av says:

      First thing that came to mind after seeing that title was Lollipop Chainsaw.Regrettably, Gunpowder Milkshake’s going to have to settle for the #2 slot on that title list. (Title list of what? Doesn’t matter. It’s -always- ending up second to LC.)

    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. Their life has ended.

  • cigarette35-av says:

    “I drink your milkshake!”

  • edkedfromavc-av says:

    And what about this Baby Driver nod? They mean it will be the last mainstream role one of the established male actors involved is remembered for, before being driven out of the profession in disgrace in a year.

  • patrexes-av says:

    “So, what’s the hook?”“Gender-baiting gimmickry.”“Sold!”

    Could be a mother-daughter-granddaughter assassination businessMeryl Streep, Karen Gillan, and Chloe Grace Moretz? 

  • thekinjacaffeinespider-av says:

    The Assassin In The Foo Foo Dress

  • firedragon400-av says:

    My prediction: This will be a decently fun, if ultimately forgettable action flick that will be a mainstay on TNT and FX for decades to come.

  • ralphm-av says:

    You had me at Karen Gillan!

  • officermilkcarton-av says:

    I thought Billie Piper was the Bad Wolf.

    The movie is called Gunpowder Milkshake, which is an awesome name, and it’s being pitched as Kill Bill crossed with Baby Driver.Speaking of Tarantino films, it would have been more awesome if the movie were called Fox Force 5.

  • redwolfmo-av says:

    Call it Joan Wick and take all my money already

  • cinecraf-av says:

    Now if only Hollywood would make my dream of an all female, all red-head heist thriller a reality.  I call it Red Riding Hoods, and it will star Jessica Chastain, Bryce Dallas Howard, Isla Fisher, Karen Gillan, Emma Stone, Christina Hendricks, Alicia Witt, Amy Adams and Sophie Turner.  

    • muddybud-av says:

      I like that you know what your tastes are.

      • cinecraf-av says:

        I just like high quality actors. This has nothing to do with the fact that they all look exactly like Julia from 12th grade who turned me down for prom so she could go with Chet the running back, and they later got married and have a huge house because he’s an NFL player now, and I will make them both pay! But yes, quality actors!

    How the hell did Sam get his job? He writes like an excited 12 year old with a head injury. 

  • johnseavey-av says:

    I love the title. It sounds like an olde-timey mobster slang term for killing people that’s almost completely fallen out of fashion, but there’s like, three hired killers left who still use it as an inside joke. “Want me to give ‘em the old gunpowder milkshake, boss?”

  • Spoooon-av says:

    Dear god, that header picture. My “Amy as a kiss-a-gram” fantasies just got an upgrade.

  • beopuppy-av says:

    So … Gillan with directors with a Bad Wolf credit.Huh. Interesting.
