London Calling is an upcoming American action comedy film directed by Allan Ungar and written by Omer Levin Menekse, Quinn Wolfe and Ungar. It stars Josh Duhamel, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Rick Hoffman, and Aidan Gillen. It is scheduled to be released theatrically on September 19, 2025.
After mistakenly killing the relative of London’s biggest crime lord, mediocre hitman and ex-pat Tommy Ward is forced to go on the run and take refuge in Los Angeles. In order to get back to his son, Tommy makes a deal with his new employer Benson: teach his socially awkward son Julian how to become a man in exchange for safe passage back to the UK. Now, Tommy is forced to drag Julian along on his latest contract killing of a renowned assassin. What starts off as a simple ride-along soon descends into utter mayhem as Tommy and Julian must find a way to survive the night so that Tommy can get back to his son and Julian can win the approval of his father.
