‘The Kill Room’ – Thriller Starring Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson Gets September Release Date
Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson and Joe Manganiello are set to team up in upcoming Shout! Studios thriller The Kill Room, and the film now has a release date.
Deadline reports that The Kill Room will release in theaters on September 28, 2023.
The dark comedic thriller was directed by Nicol Paone and written by Jonathan Jacobson.
The Kill Room follows “an art dealer (Thurman) who teams with a hitman (Manganiello) and his boss (Jackson) for a money laundering scheme. The plan accidentally turns the hired killer into an overnight avant-garde sensation, forcing the dealer to play the art world against the underworld.”
“’The Kill Room’ is a sharp, darkly comic evisceration of the art collecting scene, delivered with wily relish by Uma Thurman and director Nicol Paone. We’re confident this will play very well with audiences who like their entertainment both witty and visceral,” Jordan Fields, senior VP of acquisitions and originals at Shout, said in a recent statement.
The cast also includes Debi Mazar, Dree Hemingway (“The Unicorn,” “Starlet”), Amy Keum (“Honor Society,” “Evil”) and Candy Buckley (“Rare Objects,” “Bachelorette”). Other actors in the movie include Larry Pine (“Succession,” “The Royal Tenenbaums”), Jennifer Kim (“Mozart in the Jungle,” “The Bourne Legacy”), Matthew Maher (“Air,” “Captain Marvel”), Tom Pecinka (“The Survivalist”) and Alexander Sokovikov (“For All Mankind,” “The Americans”).
The new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), the upcoming Weapons is assembling an impressive cast, with Josh Brolin (Dune 2) and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) recently signing on. Deadline reports today that Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear) is the latest actor to join the cast of Cregger’s new movie.
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
