GOING IN STYLE originally premiered in 1979, directed by Martin Brest and starring Art Carney and Lee Strasberg. It focused on "three retirees who wear Groucho Marx glasses to execute a bank heist."

Hoffman's other upcoming projects include the TV movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's Esio Trot and the feature film Icon. He recently appeared in The Cobbler, Chef and the TV series Luck. The actor has also appeared on Broadway in The Merchant of Venice, Death of a Salesman, Jimmy Shine, The Subject Was Roses and A Cook for Mr. General.

Freeman will next be seen in Ted 2 and Ben-Hur; his recent film credits include London Has Fallen, Last Knights, Dolphin Tale 2, Lucy, Transcendence, The Lego Movie and more. He has appeared on Broadway in The Country Girl, The Gospel at Colonus, The Mighty Gents and more.

Caine is set to appear in The Early Years, Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Last Witch Hunter and Now You See Me 2. He can currently be seen on the big screen in Interstellar.

Braff last directed Wish I Was Here, as well as several episodes of the TV series Scrubs and Garden State (in which he also starred). The actor/director made his Broadway debut this year in Bullets Over Broadway and has also appeared off-Broadway in Macbeth, Twelfth Night and Trust. He wrote the play All New People, which ran at Second Stage in 2011.
