John Woo's Upcoming Action Movie SILENT NIGHT Gets a December Release Date
John Woo’s upcoming action film Silent Night is the filmmaker’s first American movie in 20 years, and Lionsgate is set to release it in theaters on December 1st.
The movie stars Joel Kinnaman (The Suicide Squad) and the film is described as a “loud action tale, without a word of dialogue”, which is going to make for an interesting film. Woo is a very visual storyteller, though, so I have no doubt he’s going to pull off something great.
The film tells a “gritty revenge tale of a tormented father (Kinnaman) who witnesses his young son die when caught in a gang’s crossfire on Christmas Eve. While recovering from a wound that costs him his voice, Kinnaman makes vengeance his life’s mission and embarks on a punishing training regimen in order to avenge his son’s death. Full of Woo’s signature style, Silent Night redefines the action genre with visceral thrill-a-minute storytelling.”
The movie also stars Scott Mescudi a.k.a. Kid Cudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno.
John Wick’s Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Christian Mercuri and Lori Tilkin are producing. Woo’s last film was the 2017 action movie Manhunt.
