The upcoming dark comedy 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank has just added Teresa Palmer to its growing ensemble. Directed by Frankie Shaw, this highly anticipated Amazon MGM Orion project features a star-studded cast, including Liam Neeson, Talia Ryder, Whitney Peak, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Jim Sturgess. The film is an adaptation of the graphic novel written by Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss.

Palmer will portray the bank manager and love interest of one of the robbers. The film follows ex-bank robber Danny (played by Neeson), whose teenage granddaughter Paige (Talia Ryder) overhears his former gang plotting to pull him back into crime. Determined to save him, she devises an unconventional plan—robbing the bank herself with her best friends before the gang can.

In addition to Neeson and Palmer, the cast includes Spike Fearn, Caylee Cowan, George Basil, Sam Strike, and Deacon Phillippe. The film is produced by Picturestart, Miramax, Point Grey, Black Mask Studios, and Uncle Pete Productions, with FilmNation overseeing sales. Filming commenced in December in Ireland, setting the stage for a visually compelling and engaging heist narrative.
