THE ICEMAN Trailer Stars Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder And James Franco

THE ICEMAN is the electrifying true story of Richard Kuklinski (Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon, “Boardwalk Empire,” “Take Shelter”), notorious mob contract killer and loving family man. He earned his nick-name by freezing the bodies of his victims, disguising the time of death and throwing police off-track. He was a man who used his tendencies toward violence and detachment from consequence to create an idyllic family life. His family and neighbors believed he was an average businessman, having no idea about his deadly alternate life. Kuklinski killed over one hundred people during his life. He never felt remorse for anything he had done, except hurting his family.

The film was shown ‘Out Of Competition’ at the 69th Venice International Film Festival today (Aug 30), will be shown this weekend at the Telluride Film Festival and will go onto the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10 & 11.

From Millennium Films, THE ICEMAN also stars Chris Evans (“The Avengers”), Ray Liotta (“Killing Them Softly”), David Schwimmer (“Nothing But the Truth”), Stephen Dorff (“Public Enemies”) and Oscar nominees Winona Ryder (“Black Swan”) and James Franco (“127 Hours”).

The film will be in theaters in 2013.
