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.)

Damn...that's a stellar cast.

Very cool 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?

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

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

It gave me chills!

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

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.

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

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.

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

Wow. That scene was HARD. And SERIOUS.

So... no Clint Howard?

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

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

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

Damnit. I got all excited.

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

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

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

Good. Franco gargles balls.

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

Franco to Evans is definitely an upgrade.

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

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

Re: The Ice Man (Michael Shannon, Del Toro, Franco)
 

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.
