Just weeks away from its forthcoming world premiere at Fantasia Festival, Cash Only helmer Malik Bader’s new action thriller, Killerman, is finally making a case for itself with a terrific new green band trailer as of Thursday. Surely I thought there would have been a corresponding red-band version on the same day but, apparently that’s not the case.
The wait hasn’t been too long seeing as the news broke in May with Liam Hemsworth starring in Malik Bader’s new movie, Killerman. Thus, the film is reportedly underway according to an announcement forwarded at ScreenAnarchy with production slated for locations in Savannah, Georgia and in New York City through December with Bader directing from his own script.
Killerman sees Hemsworth as Moe Diamond, a small-time money launderer who finds himself on the run from a horde of gangsters and dirty cops when a deal goes awry and his escape results in a freak accident that renders him an amnesiac. Joining in is actor Nickola Shreli in reunion with Bader since starring in the director’s acclaimed 2015 Fantasia favorite, Cash Only; Shreli who will play a villainous narc-cop in hot pursuit of Diamond.
John and Michael Schwarz producing along with The Solution’s Myles Nestel. Executive producing is Lisa Wilson over at The Solution who is fully financing and handling international rights with WME taking domestic.
If a title like Killerman doesn’t get your attention in search of action movie news, I don’t know what will. Actor Liam Hemsworth (The Expendables 2, Independence Day: Resurgence) is reportedly on deck to star in the film from a script by Cash Only helmer Malik Bader.
Described as a visceral action thriller, Killerman sees Hemsworth as Moe Diamond, a small-time money launderer who finds himself on the run from a horde of gangsters and dirty cops when a deal goes awry and his escape results in a freak accident that renders him an amnesiac.
