Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson's New Thriller THE KILL ROOM Lands at Shout Studios

Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Joe Manganiello have all teamed up for a new thriller film project titled The Kill Room, and the North American rights were recently acquired by Shout Studios. They will release the movie in the fall.

The movie is described as a dark comedy thriller, and it is coming from writer Jonathan Jacobson and director Nicol Paone (Friendsgiving). The story follows an “art dealer (Thurman) who teams with a hitman (Manganiello) and his boss (Jackson) for a money laundering scheme. The plan accidentally turns the hired killer into an overnight avant-garde sensation, forcing the dealer to play the art world against the underworld.”

I just love that Thurman and Jackson are starring in a film together for the first time since Pulp Fiction! The cast also includes Debi Mazar, Dree Hemingway (The Unicorn, Starlet), Amy Keum (Honor Society, Evil) and Candy Buckley (Rare Objects). Other actors in the movie are Larry Pine (Succession, The Royal Tenenbaums), Jennifer Kim (Mozart in the Jungle, The Bourne Legacy), Matthew Maher (Air, Captain Marvel), Tom Pecinka (The Survivalist) and Alexander Sokovikov (For All Mankind, The Americans).

Jordan Fields, senior VP of acquisitions and originals at Shout said in a statement: “The Kill Room is a sharp, darkly comic evisceration of the art collecting scene, delivered with wily relish by Uma Thurman and director Nicol Paone. We’re confident this will play very well with audiences who like their entertainment both witty and visceral.”

Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman of Yale Entertainment added: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Shout on this film. They’re incredibly passionate and have put together an aggressive release strategy for getting this very fun, very commercial film out to into the world.”
