The film that seems to have been written with Bill Murray in mind, ‘St. Vincent’, has a new trailer.  Murray plays a degenerate retired vet that begins to watch over the son of his neighbor (played by Melissa McCarthy). 

It’s a premise we’ve seen over and over.  Rapscallion youth meets immature adult and they both learn from, and grow with, each other.  Though this screenplay was on the Black list (a list of the best unproduced scripts).  Outside of Walter Matthau, is there anyone else you’d rather see in this type of role?

St. Vincent came in as 2nd Runner Up for the Peoples Choice Award for Best Film at this years Toronto International Film Festival and is set to be releases on October 24th.

Outside of Murray and McCarthy, the film also features Chris O’Dowd, Naomi Watts and Scott Adsit.  Check out the trailer below.

Select theaters: Oct 10 - Everywhere: Oct 24 Synopsis: Maggie (McCarthy), a single mother, moves into a new home in Brooklyn with her 12-year old son, Oliver (Lieberher). Forced to work long hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the care of their new neighbor, Vincent (Murray), a retired curmudgeon with a penchant for alcohol and gambling.
