'Killshot' takes aim at April release, according to IMDb.comTuesday, January 22, 2008Think you can guess when "Killshot" will finally hit the big screen? Care to place a bet on it? You might be facing some long odds. The latest word on the Web is that "Killshot" -- the Quentin Tarantino-produced movie based on the Elmore Leonard book and set partially in Cape Girardeau -- will finally be released April 11. IMDb.com, the Internet Movie Database, is reporting that "Killshot" will be released April 11, though it doesn't specify if the date is for a theatrical release or other release. Leonard's blog site, elmoreleonard.com, reports the date as unofficial, but a Weinstein Co. (the film's studio) representative said the film will be released in April. Scenes in "Killshot" -- starring Thomas Jane, Diana Lane, Mickey Rourke and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and directed by John Madden -- were filmed in Cape Girardeau in January 2006. Part of the story takes place in Cape Girardeau. Since the local shoot the film's date has been pushed back numerous times and reports said some scenes needed to be reshot. Other reports that Cape Girardeau has been cut out of the film are untrue, according to Leonard's site. The Weinstein Co., meanwhile, has kept the details of what's happening with "Killshot" top secret. With as many times as the date has changed, April 11 might be a risky bet. As we've seen, nothing is certain with "Killshot." -- Matt Sanders Comments  Note: The nature of the Internet makes it impractical for our staff to review every comment.

April 11th is a Friday. Theatrical releases happen on Fridays. DVD releases happen on Tuesday. I'll take this as a good sign.
Just rented a DVD a week or two ago, and I couldn't find the remote quickly enough to skip through the previews of other movies at the beginning. Well, to my surprise, there was the trailer for Killshot, and it was actually very captivating. Yeah, I'm biased b/c I want to see Cape in a major movie, but I would certainly want to watch that movie after seeing the preview. Here's to hoping it finally sees the big screen.
Lucky Number Slevin has the Killshot trailer. I watched it this past weekend and wondered how this thing hasn't been released yet. It's a captivating trailer with lots of big names all over the place: Quentin Tarantino, John Madden, Thomas Jane, Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Thomas Gordon-Levitt, and Johnny Knoxville.
That's exactly what movie it was.
