The Iceman (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Evans)
Director: Ariel Vromen
Starring: Michael Shannon, Benicio Del Toro, Chris Evans, Elias Koteas
Release Date: Fall 2012
Plot: The true story of serial killer/mob hitman Richard Kuklinski. The thing that makes him stand out is that he had a wife and children (although if you read the book the family life was far from "idyllic" as the movie's official plot describes.)
Promo Trailer

re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
I've watched at least a couple of documentaries about him.
One, I think on HBO, was a two hour thing with over and hour of interviews with Kuklinski.
Man Shannon can deliver can't he? That guy is just amazing at his craft.

So... It's not a remake of this?

I can't believe it's taken this long to do a movie about him, since that HBO interview was aired almost 20 years ago. He was worse than a psycho, he was downright evil. If there is a Hell, he's roasting in it.

Apparently there was going to be another film with Mickey Rourke as Kuklinski, but I don't know what happened with it. IMDB doesn't have it listed.

Mickey Rourke will play Kuklinski in a film based on Philip Carlo's biography The Ice Man, Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer. The film was expected to start shooting in spring 2010 in New York, New Jersey and Florida.[21]

I hope they don't portray Kuklinski as a great guy when he's with his family. He had a quick temper, beat his wife regularly and threatened to kill her.
