Los Angeles, CA – July 27, 2023 – Shout! Studios announced today they are releasing Yale Entertainment’s darkly comedic thriller, “The Kill Room,” in theaters nationwide September 28th. Oscar®-nominee Uma Thurman and Academy Award® recipient actor Samuel L. Jackson have teamed up for the first time since “Pulp Fiction” for “The Kill Room,” directed by Nicol Paone and written by Jonathan Jacobson.
Thurman (“Kill Bill: Vol. 1” and “Kill Bill: Vol. 2”), Joe Manganiello (“Magic Mike,” “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”), and Samuel L. Jackson (“Pulp Fiction,” “Jackie Brown,” “Die Hard with Vengeance”) lead a stellar cast of Debi Mazar (“Younger,” “Goodfellas”), Dree Hemingway (“The Unicorn,” “Starlet”), Amy Keum (“Honor Society,” “Evil”), Candy Buckley (“Rare Objects,” “Bachelorette”), Larry Pine (“Succession,” “The Royal Tenenbaums”), Jennifer Kim (“Mozart in the Jungle,” “The Bourne Legacy”), Matthew Maher (“Air,” “Captain Marvel”), Tom Pecinka (“The Survivalist”), and Alexander Sokovikov (“For All Man Kind,” “The Americans”).
The dark comedic thriller follows an art dealer (Thurman) who teams with a hitman (Manganiello) and his boss (Jackson) for a money laundering scheme that accidentally turns the hitman into an overnight Avant-Garde sensation, forcing the dealer to play the art world against the underworld.
Director Nicol Paone said, “Working with Uma, Sam, Joe, and the rest of this incredible cast was nothing short of amazing. I thank each and every member of the cast and our incredible crew for their inspired work and continued support of ‘The Kill Room.’ We had so much to work with, thanks to Jonathan Jacobson’s extremely fun and original script, and I am thrilled to partner with Shout!
