Tell me how this sounds: Robert De Niro as a cash-strapped film producer, Morgan Freeman as a mobster, and Tommy Lee Jones as a washed-up Western star. That’s all I needed to be onboard with “The Comeback Trail”, the new crime comedy from George Gallo.
Set in 1974, De Niro’s character finds himself in deep debt with a local mobster played by Freeman. After an accidental death on the set of another movie earns its producer $5 million in insurance money, De Niro devises a scam. Hire fading Western star Duke Montana (Jones), insure him for a ton of money, and then set up his “accidental” death while shooting the film. The first trailer shows Gallo and his cast having loads of fun with the concept. Hopefully we in the audience will too.
“The Comeback Trail” is set to release November 13th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

I love it. Keep acting, boys!
I’m in too. And while (outside of The Irishman) De Info’s late career choices have been iffy, this looks fun.
With all of today’s uncertainty, there’s something quite comforting about watching these three legends.
Agreed. And I’m always up for more TLJ.
Robert De Niro looks like Stan Lee in that movie
HA!
🔴🔵 Pass 🟣🟡
I’m in 🙂
Looks fun, right?
I saw the trailer for this a few days ago. It looks like fun.
I think so too. It’s great to see Tommy Lee Jones again!
That looks like a lot of fun. Great cast!
Agreed. And I like the setting too. Hope they pull it off. Great potential.
Freeman usually plays the kindly good guy, big shift as a gangster. I bet he loved it. Will this be released on the big screen or on video?
Supposed to be in theaters. Nothing announced for VOD yet. At least not that I’ve heard.
DC Super Pets’ll be in cinemas by 2022
