Much Anticipated Trailer for ‘Killshot’

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. ‘Killshot’ is scheduled to open this Friday, January 23rd. Its rated ‘R’ for violence, language and brief nudity.

While this movie‘s been sitting around since 2006, I say, strike while the iron’s hot – give Mickey Rourke as much face time as possible… with the announcement of the Oscar nominations this Thursday morning, his huge comeback is thrilling Hollywood stuff.  Rourke’s stellar performance as Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson in ‘The Wrestler’ is the very best of the year.  I love the idea of him  in ‘Iron  Man 2’ as Whiplash.  On a side note, here’s a great interview between Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken from Interview Magazine.
