“It centers around a hitman, Reggie (Manganiello), his boss (Jackson), an art dealer (Thurman), and their money laundering scheme that accidentally turns the hitman into an overnight avant-garde sensation, forcing her to play the art world against the underworld,” reads the synopsis.
The Kill Room will be directed by Nicol Paone from a screenplay written by Jonathan Jacobson. The film is a production by Yale Entertainment.
