Trailer: The Iceman


1:00 PM on 01.16.2013



Here we have the second official trailer for The Iceman, starring Michael Shannon as the notorious contract killer. For over twenty years Richard Kuklinski, aka The Iceman, murdered one hundred people as his means of making a living, having started as a mob hit-man and eventually working up to beginning his own enterprise. Naturally the mob didn't take too kindly to that, because we all know you never turn your back on the mob.

I'm pretty eager to see this one, if only to watch Shannon continue to hone his craft. Seeing him in Man of Steel will undoubtedly be a treat, but films such as Take Shelter and Shotgun Diaries is where he really shines, and while The Iceman isn't necessarily in the same vein as those two pics, I'm sure it will still be an interesting character piece.

Oh, and here's an official synopsis for your eyeballs to nibble on:

Inspired by actual events, The Iceman follows notorious contract killer Richard Kuklinski (Academy Award® nominee Michael Shannon) from his early days in the mob until his arrest for the murder of more than 100 men. Appearing to be living the American dream as a devoted husband and father; in reality Kuklinski was a ruthless killer-for-hire. When finally arrested in 1986, neither his wife nor daughters have any clue about his real profession. Co-starring Academy Award®  nominee Winona Ryder (Black Swan) and Chris Evans (Avengers, Captain America), The Iceman is directed by Ariel Vromen (Danika) from a script he wrote with Morgan Land (Rx). Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), David Schwimmer (“Friends”), Robert Davi (“Profiler”) and Danny Abeckaser (Alpha Dog) round out the cast. The film features cameo appearances by Stephen Dorff (Public Enemies) and James Franco (127 Hours). Millennium Entertainment will release The Iceman May 3, 2013.

Crime is happening in new Robocop set photos

I normally don't like talking about set photos since things normally look a lot better in post production, but for these Robocop reboot images I'll make an exception (it's probably because that Max guy isn't a thing anym...

Tribeca Capsule Review: Northwest

In some ways Northwest could be written off as another movie about how crime doesn't pay. There's an escalation of criminal activity, there's the brief taste of a modest sweet life, there's the tragic inflation of egos, and t...

Trailer: Now You See Me

Now You See Me is basically the story of David Copperfield...if Copperfield robbed banks and used extravagant technology (although we really don't know too much about him now, do we?). A group of street magicians suddenly ga...

Trailer: Pain & Gain (Red Band)

As someone who has never been a fan of Michael Bay, I've had to continually admit that his upcoming film Pain & Gain is looking like the first film from the director that I am actually excited to see. His other film...

New clip from The Place Beyond The Pines

If the earlier trailer is anything to go by, The Place Beyond The Pines is definitely going to be a moody, emotional drama centered around a man who sets out to rob a bank to take care of his newly born son. It looks as...

Review: Stand Up Guys

Sometimes I take for granted the idea of earning moments. If a filmmaker wants you to feel something, he or she needs to make you feel it without taking shortcuts. It's all about effort and honesty, because earning moments me...

New TV spot for Michael Bay's Pain & Gain

The more I see of Pain & Gain, the more I think that Michael Bay have been grossly misleading his career up until this point. I've never really been a fan of Bay's films or his style, but I seriously believe that this ma...
