Roses are red… violets are blue… I’ve got a gun, and I’m going to kill you. ~ A poem by Richard Kuklinski
Back in September of last year I posted up a trailer for an upcoming movie called “The Iceman“. It’s based on the true story of Richard Kuklinski, the contract killer who took out over 100 targets between 1964 and 1986. He was aptly called The Iceman, since he… you know, iced a whole lot of people. I mean, 100 is a lot, right?
In any case, I’ve heard absolutely nothing about the movie since that last trailer, and was wondering when the hell I would get to see more of Michael Shannon’s incredible acting outside of Boardwalk empire. Fast forward to today, and lo and behold, a brand spanking new trailer, full of love, deception, and killing… lots and lots of killing.
Michael Shannon, the Perfect Iceman
Outside of theaters of war, it’s rare for a single person to kill so many others. Richard Kuklinski really is the most vicious killer I’ve ever heard about, and though his story is grim and tragic, it does make for what appears to be an incredible movie. Whoever cast the film seems to have nailed it, especially with Richard and his wife – Michael Shannon and Winona Ryder. Again, at least from all the literature I’ve read on the two of them.
The Iceman Release Date
So, funny thing about that… the movie was actually supposed to hit theaters sometime last year, but as you may have noticed, it’s already 2013 and we haven’t seen it. I don’t know why the studio decided to delay, but supposedly we’ll see it on May 3rd of this year, but only in a limited amount of theaters. If you happen to know anything about this, please leave a comment below and I’ll make sure to update the post.
Looks pretty good!
