NOBODY MARCH 26, 2021
Genre: Thriller
Cast: Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, RZA, Alexey Serebryakov and Christopher Lloyd
Director: Ilya Naishuller
Writer: Derek Kolstad
Producers: Kelly McCormick, David Leitch, Braden Aftergood, Bob Odenkirk, Marc Provissiero
Executive Producers: Derek Kolstad, Marc S. Fischer, Tobey Maguire
Sometimes the man you don’t notice is the most dangerous of all.
Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, The Post, Nebraska) stars as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life’s indignities on the chin and never pushing back. A nobody.
When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe, The Shack), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen, Wonder Woman), seems to pull only further away.
The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire, and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (famed Russian actor Alexey Serebryakov, Amazon’s McMafia)—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.
Nobody is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry), from a script by Derek Kolstad, the narrative architect of the John Wick franchise, and co-stars legendary Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd as Hutch’s father and multi-hyphenate musician-actor RZA as Hutch’s brother, whose own hidden talents aid Hutch in his quest for vengeance.
The film is produced by Kelly McCormick, p.g.a, and David Leitch, p.g.a., the filmmakers of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Deadpool 2, and Atomic Blonde, for their company 87North, by Braden Aftergood, p.g.a. (Hell or High Water, Wind River), for his Eighty-Two Films, and by Bob Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero (Hulu’s PEN15) for Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment. The film is executive produced by Derek Kolstad, Marc S. Fischer and Tobey Maguire.
Clubhouse rendering provided by Houston Golf Association
Houston Golf Association announces the start of construction on a new clubhouse at Gus Wortham Park Golf Course, the oldest continuously operating golf course in Texas. These updates mark phase two of renovations to the course and will include a grill, infrastructure to support updated parking, road improvements, and the addition of a short game practice area. The estimated completion date is late summer/early fall of 2021. Phase one renovations completed in Oct. 2018 focused on a complete renovation of the golf course, overhauled golf course irrigation system for improved water conservation, new irrigation lake for stormwater retention, reestablished creek banks, and new cart paths.
A cherished icon of the East End, the renovation of Gus Wortham Park Golf Course is the result of a successful public/private partnership with the City of Houston — an initiative of the HGA to restore Houston’s civic amenities for all to enjoy. Since reopening in 2018, Gus Wortham Park Golf Course continues to be a favorite public course amongst players, with over 100,000 rounds played.
Texas medical experts share recommendations to help improve COVID-19 distribution, access in Texas
A group of Texas medical experts presented recommendations aimed at helping the state enhance the distribution and access to the coronavirus vaccine.
The Immunization Partnership is a non-profit organization with a “mission to eradicate vaccine-preventable diseases by educating the community, advocating for evidence-based public policy, and supporting immunization best practices.”
According to the group, there are four major factors that will help improve the state’s vaccination effort: support to COVID-19 vaccine providers; health equity; COVID-19 impact on high-risk Texans; and transparency in vaccine allocation and distribution.
“While we appreciate the state’s efforts to overcome the challenges to provide COVID-19 vaccines to all Texans in an efficient and orderly manner, we believe the implementation of these recommendations from the Pandemic Vaccine Task Force will complement the on-going efforts, and serve to improve the health and safety of all Texans after our emergence from this pandemic,” said Allison Winnike, president and CEO of The Immunization Partnership.
The group also said the state’s immunization registry, ImmTrac2, could also use improvement.
“A more functional state immunization registry with interoperable data transfer systems that work with existing data collection tools will reduce administrative burden, and allow providers to focus on vaccinating Texans against COVID-19,” the group said in a news release.
ImmTrac2 is the best tool for achieving herd immunity, according to the group. The state could work to identify people and communities that do not have access to the vaccine using this tool, and that would open doors for more people to get immunized, according to the group.
“The diversity of Texas requires various methods in reaching underserved communities, higher-risk communities, non-English speakers, and Texans with low reading capability,” Winnike said. “Command of the English language should never be prohibitive to healthcare.”
The group also recommends that the state use more varied methods of communication including telephone outreach, community newsletters, bulletins at places of worship, signage at local businesses, or the local emergency message system.
“If we expect to get through this extraordinary time, the state must undertake extraordinary measures on behalf of all Texans,” Winnike said.

Texans QB Deshaun Watson responds to lawsuit attorney Tony Buzbee says he’s filing against him
Texans Quarterback Deshaun Watson has responded to a lawsuit being filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee.
The lawsuit was made public Wednesday. KPRC 2 is working through the lawsuit and will share a story on its contents as soon as possible, but, as KPRC 2 previously reported, it does concern a female masseuse who is claiming sexual assault against Watson.
Buzbee issued a vague announcement on his Facebook pages Tuesday night that he will be representing “those who have no perceived power against those who have perceived power.”
The Facebook post reads the following:
“I am extremely proud to represent those who have no perceived power against those who have PERCEIVED power. Things are changing in this country, in this great state, and in this great city. And I feel like it’s for the better, for all of us! Today we filed suit against Deshaun Watson. Too many times women have put up with behavior that we all know no one should put up with. Should we make excuses for the famous? Or those who hold special positions, or quarterbacks on a local professional football team? I don’t think so! All people are equal, and all deserve dignity and respect. My dad was a butcher. My mother drove my school bus and worked in the snack bar. Knowing what I know now: My momma had more dignity in her pinky finger than most executives or coaches or politicians or famous athletes have in their whole bodies! This case we just filed against Watson isn’t about money—it’s about dignity and stopping a behavior that should be stopped, NOW! Stay tuned for details. LET ME SAY THIS. I’m a Marine. I’m not easily intimidated. If you have info or have been part of this, contact my office: txattorneys.com.”
Watson responded to the allegations once he got wind of Buzbee’s post on social media. He said he has not seen the complaint made against him but says he has never treated any woman with anything other than “utmost respect” and looks forward to clearing his name.
Watson’s tweet read the following:
“As a result of a social media post by a publicity-seeking plaintiff’s lawyer that has apparently been filed against me. I have not yet seen the complaint, but I know this: I have never treated any woman with anything other than the utmost respect. The plaintiff’s lawyer claims that this isn’t about money, but before filing the suit he made a baseless six-figure settlement demand, which I quickly rejected. Unlike him, this isn’t about money for me — it’s about clearing my name, and I look forward to doing that.”
The Texans released this statement Wednesday concerning Watson:
“We became aware of a civil lawsuit involving Deshaun Watson through a social media post last night. This is the first time we heard of the matter, and we hope to learn more soon. We take accusations of this nature that involve anyone within the Houston Texans organization seriously. We will await further information before making any additional statements on this incident.”

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo tearfully thanks Houston community as he prepares for new position in Miami
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo tearfully thanked Houston and the department Tuesday after announcing he would be leaving to become the police chief in Miami.
Surrounded by several members of the Houston Police Department, Acevedo said he wanted everyone to understand how he came to the decision to leave Houston.
“I decided to take the Miami position because Miami is a world-class city like Houston,” Acevedo said. “Miami is an international city like Houston. Miami is the gateway to Central America, the Caribbean, and Europe. It is a very diverse community like Houston.”
Acevedo continued by saying everything is about timing. He said when the opportunity to become police chief in Miami was presented, he had been heavily thinking about what was next.
“My heart was like, ‘What am I going to do next?’ I love being a cop. I love cops. I’ve been contemplating what’s next,” he said.
Acevedo said he contemplated taking a federal position with one of the biggest departments in the country, and he also contemplated going back to Los Angeles to run for sheriff or join the private sector.
Acevedo ultimately decided to accept the position in Miami on Monday. He said after having a short professional courtship with the Mayor of Miami, he felt that the two of them really connected.
The HPD chief also weighed in on who he thought would be a good fit for the next police chief in Houston. Acevedo said he hopes Mayor Turner will consider one of HPD’s executive assistant chiefs for the position.
“I’ve been praying for that,” Acevedo said. “I would challenge any member of the community. If they look at how the summer of protests across this country — and we saw buildings burning and so many bad things happening — to compare the performance of our department to a lot of other departments and the relationship with this community and this department.
Acevedo said his departure would allow for someone else in the department to have an opportunity to grow.
“We’re going to leave this department in great hands. I will be leaving a big piece of my heart in Houston. I’ll be leaving a big piece of my heart in Texas,” Acevedo said.
Things did get heated during the news conference when KPRC 2 Investigates questioned Acevedo over the skyrocketing homicides in Houston.
“The crimefighting strategies aren’t the issue. When you have a court system that’s shut down because of COVID or Harvey, what’s the next excuse? Get those courts open. If they don’t want to work, get out,” Acevedo said.
The fight to get repeated offenders off the streets of Houston has been an issue Acevedo says he’s been working on since he became chief.
Acevedo said he will continue to help Houston and see-through certain incidents that happened under his watch like the Harding Street raid.
“I’ll be back for Harding Street. I’ll be continuing to watch Harding Street. I want to see this through. it happened on my watch and I’ll like to see this through,” Acevedo said.
Acevedo did not detail when his last day would be in Houston, but Mayor Sylvester Turner is expected to make an announcement about the next chief this week.
