'''The Old Guard''' is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of | '''The Old Guard''' is a 2020 [[Netflix]] adaptation of the graphic novel by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. [[Charlize Theron]] stars as Andy, the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors. Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular '''[[Highlander]]''' franchise with the modern '''[[John Wick]]''' sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms. | ||
