- KILLING SEASON
Millennium Films and Corsan Pictures have announced
production will start on January 16 for Killing Season (previously known as
"Shrapnel"), starring Robert De Niro and John Travolta. Mark Steven
Johnson (Ghost Rider, Daredevil) will direct from a script by Evan Daugherty
(Snow White and the Huntsman).
Killing Season is an action movie set in the Appalachian
Mountains about an American military veteran (De Niro) who has retreated to a
remote cabin in the woods. When a rare visitor, a European tourist (Travolta),
appears on the scene, the two men strike up an unlikely friendship. But in fact
the visitor is a former Serbian soldier bent on revenge. What follows is a
tense, action packed battle across some of America's most forbidding landscape that
proves the old adage: the purest form of war is one-on-one.
"I've loved this project from the moment I read Evan
Daughterty's remarkable script," said Corsan CEO Paul Breuls. "It's
thrilling, imaginative, unexpected and dominated by two extraordinary
characters on a collision course. I'm very pleased this film is moving into
production and to be partnered with Avi Lerner and his team at
Millennium."
"We're excited to be co-financing and co-producing this
film with Corsan, and to be working again with Robert De Niro and John
Travolta," said Nu Image/Millennium topper Avi Lerner. "We've never
seen these two great actors on screen together before, and we're excited to see
what comes of the combination."
