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.)

Looks really good, looking forward to this, especially after reading the incredible book.

Comething soon!

Damn...that's a stellar cast.

Very cool trailer!

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?

Thank God

I cannot wait!!!

nice trailer... great cast listing.. i can't wait

It gave me chills!

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.

Wow. That scene was HARD. And SERIOUS.

wikipeida had this:

Uh...whoa. I can BARELY tell that's Shannon right there.

So... no Clint Howard?

This is premiering at the Toronto Film Festival in September...hopefully we'll get it by the end of the year.

Damnit. I got all excited.

James Franco is out, Chris Evans is in (as Mr. Softee)

Good. Franco gargles balls.

Franco to Evans is definitely an upgrade.

Other casting news since this thread hasn't been updated:

Winona Ryder as Kuklinski's wife
Stephen Dorff as Kuklinski's brother
Ray Liotta as Roy Demeo, Kuklinski's mob captain

Actually this is incorrect, Franco is still in the movie but in a different role. Chris Evans is the character that Franco was originally set to play.

Uhhhh....fuck yeah, motherfucker.

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.
