Here's the PR skinny on the release of Killshot, adapted from one of my favorite crime novels by one of my favorite pop novelists, Elmore Leonard. Cast is appealing, although I'm not sure I see Mickey Rourke as the Indian-blooded hit man The Blackbird. Then again, Rourke has really been on the comeback trail. He was terrific in Sin City. And it's probably a good sign that Tarantino is "presenting." Release date is Oct. 20. Sounds promising ...
KILLSHOT
A Quentin Tarantino presentation. From Academy Award nominated director John Madden (“Shakespeare in Love”) comes Hossein Amini’s wry adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s best-selling crime novel. The beautiful Carmen Colson (Diane Lane) and her husband Wayne (Thomas Jane) become entangled in a scam with a bumbling, small time con artist (Joseph Gordon Levitt) and his over-the-hill hitman partner the Blackbird (Mickey Rourke). Ultimately, it all comes down to one wife, one husband, two killers...and one lethal killshot.
DIRECTOR: JOHN MADDEN
CAST: DIANE LANE, MICKEY ROURKE, JOHNNY KNOXVILLE, JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT, THOMAS JANE, ROSARIO DAWSON
