An entry to the Toronto International Film Festival 2012, The Iceman, a film from director Ariel Vromen, will tell the true-to-life story of Richard Kuklinski, a known contract killer of the world's crime history.
Vromen, in the past, took on a psycho-horror about a mother whose paranoia amplifies through visions of her children's death. Danika in my own was underdeveloped, for the message is unsent, but was acceptable with the ample shocks it presented.
Michael Shannon will play Kuklinski, your by-the-numbers killer for hire. Clients will tell him the target, next thing you know, target's exterminated. The spin? He's as profound and sincere of a father, as he is adept in his killings.
Shannon was recently nominated (if 2008 remains recent) for a supporting actor role in Oscars for the pic Revolutionary Road. Winona Ryder plays Deborah, Shannon's on-screen wife. Ryder (Star Trek) was also nominated in the Oscars, as Best Actress in The Age Of Innocence back in 1933.
Chris Evans (Captain America) and James Franco (127 Hours) are in for support roles, Evans playing Robert Pronge, aka "Mister Softee", a fellow hitman; and Franco playing someone who is obviously, according to the trailer, will taste a bit of Kuklinski's killing spree. David Schwimmer (Uprising) and Ray Liotta (Good Fellas) are in it too.
Following the screenplay which is co-written by Vromen with scriptwriter Morgan Land, The Iceman will play on TIFF, while US and overseas play times remain undisclosed.
