Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Selma Hayek Discuss the Art of Swearing in 'The Hitman's Bodyguard'
When you go see "The Hitman's Bodyguard" (in theaters everywhere on Friday), you should know that you're going to get a lot of bullets, a lot of blood, and a lot of swearing. This is an action movie/buddy comedy in the classic mold of "Lethal Weapon" (or pretty much anything that Shane Black has ever written), which means that the F-bombs are dropped as often as the actual bombs. This is especially true since the cast includes actors uniquely skilled in the art of cursing, most notably Samuel L. Jackson, Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek. So when we sat down with the stars of the kinetic thriller, we had to ask them about how to artfully place a swear word. This will especially come in handy if we ever find ourselves embroiled in an international caper.
Later, we talked to the cast about what a sequel to "The Hitman's Bodyguard" would look like and the general consensus was ... it'll have a lot more Hayek. And, if we'd hazard a guess, a lot more swearing.
"The Hitman's Bodyguard" opens everywhere this Friday.
