Michael Shannon is a scary man. A brilliant actor, shown so many times in Boardwalk Empire, Take Shelter, Bug, and many others, but still a scary man. So I don't think there is a better man to play Richard Kuklinski, a real life mob hit man who is said to have killed over a hundred people, in upcoming thriller The Iceman. Directed by Ariel Vroman, the movie focuses on Kuklinski's double life, that of a hired killer and a loving family man. The film also stars Ray Liotta, Winona Ryder, Chris Evans and James Franco.
Below is a test scene from the film, giving us a nice sense of the film and the character. See what I said before? Scary!
The film is scheduled for a 2013 release, but no concrete release date has been given yet. More when we find out.
