Under any circumstances we’d be thrilled about director Steven Soderbergh returning to the big screen, especially for another comedic heist film. But when he’s doing so with a cast that feels as though we here at Nerdist willed it into existence, like with his new film Logan Lucky, we feel as if we have hit the jackpot… Or rather that we stole the jackpot in a harebrained elaborate heist at a NASCAR race.
We’re not exaggerating about this movie’s dream cast. The film stars Channing Tatum and a one-armed Adam Driver as the Logan brothers, who turn to convict Joe Bang(!!), played by Daniel Craig in a role that is the exact opposite of James Bond cool, to help them rob the biggest race of the year: the Coca Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina.
And as though those three aren’t enough to have us racing to the theater, they’ll be joined by Katherine Waterston, Sebastian Stan, Seth MacFarlane, Katie Holmes, Riley Keough, Hilary Swank, and Parks and Recreation‘s Jim O’Heir.
You wouldn’t think Kylo Ren would turn to Daniel Craig for something important at work after Craig let Rey go in The Force Awakens, but we’re glad he did. We’re going to be working on getting his absurd accent just right until we see the movie.
