Is Nobody a true story?
The answer is no. Nobody is not a true story of man named Hutch Mansell, who breaks bad following a burglary at his home. However, Bob Odenkirk in one of his interviews revealed that the movie's concept was pulled from his own real-life experiences to play an unassuming guy who goes on a vengeful rampage after he and his family are burglarized. Therefore, we can can say that Nobody is not a true story, however, the concept of breaking bad after break-ins is indeed a real-life concept inspired by Bob Odenkirk.
Bob Odenkirk in an interview had revealed, "I had a gun held to my head at 2 a.m. and I gave all my cash to this person." Bob added, "I think most people watching this movie will not realize the level of autobiography there is in it.....I had two home break-ins in Los Angeles. One was particularly traumatic. Just a typical dad scenario. What do you do? I grabbed the baseball bat; in the movie, I grab a golf club. I think I did the right thing, as I told myself, and I told the police a thousand times since then. But it doesn't feel like I did the right thing. 'Nobody' is very related to my actual experience of having someone in the house, threatening my family, trying to keep the damage to a minimum."
Blind Release Date: When & where to watch Sonam Kapoor's OTT debut series?
After suffering from the break-in trauma, Odenkirk channeled his inner frustration, and following then the concept of Nobody was born. Odenkirk approached ‘John Wick’ scribe Derek Kolstad to develop a story based on the incident after watching the latter’s work in the Keanu Reeves starrer movie. It is pertinent to mention here that Odenkirk has outlined that the film is not based on reality despite originating from a true story.
Therefore, those who are great fan John Wick series, then Nobody will definitely give you chills.
