Set in the near future, Robot & Frank stars Frank Langella as an ex-jewel thief receives a gift from his daughter: a robot butler programmed to look after him. Sometimes old habits die hard and as such, this master thief and his new robot pal try their luck as a heist team. This trailer has an entirely sweet vibe to it all and as it’s got mostly positive word of mouth, Robot & Frank looks like a total win. Have a look for yourselves…
The trailer really sums it all up without giving too much away..but I guess we’ll see when it gets closer. Directed by Jake Schreier and starring Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, James Marsden, Liv Tyler and Peter Sarsgaard as Robot, Samuel Goldwyn Films and Stage 6 have set Robot & Frank for release in limited theaters this Summer on August 24th 2012. This really looks good, anyone else going to check this out??

Seems standard until the robber angle– which is kind of random– comes up. That makes this sound like it could be something special. Plus, Langella.

Hope there’s more to it and the trailer didn’t ruin the drama surrounding final act. Still excited to see it….plus Langella:)
