First images from Killshot

Actually, it's just a single image - and a boring one at that. But
it's nevertheless proof that the movie is actually happening, which is something to hold on to. Directed by
Oscar-nominee John Madden and executive-produced by Quentin
Tarantino - aka the busiest person alive who isn't Joss
Whedon - Killshot
is based on an Elmore Leonard novel about a husband and wife who
"become entangled in a scam with a bumbling small time con artist..and his over-the-hill hit man partner."
The husband and wife are played by Thomas Jane and Diane Lane (no word on if their character names also rhyme), and the con
men are a potentially interesting duo: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Mickey Rourke.Until I hear a flood of negative reports, I'm going to try to stay optimistic about this one - Tarantino's not in it after all, and both the cast and story have a lot of potential. In addition, Leonard's novels tend to be sharply written and very smart, though a lot depends on the adaptation. The film is currently in post-production, and is due for release in March of 2006.
