Walter Hill, Mickey Rourke, “St. Vincent”

Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) is reuniting with director Walter Hill for the upcoming feature, “St. Vincent”. The two previously worked together on “Johnny Handsome” and it’s been seven years since Hill has made a feature film.

“St. Vincent” is about an assassin who is ordered to take out a “high level informant” and to do so he goes undercover as a priest. When the assassin takes his targets confession he has a “crisis of conscience”.

It’s great news of the reunion between Hill and Rourke. Hill is one of my favorite directors and I’m glad that he’s returning to the big screen. If you haven’t seen “Johnny Handsome” I suggest you do.

New KillShot Trailer

After letting it sit on the shelves for three years it looks like the Weinsteins are looking to capitalize on the Mickey Rourke hype train by releasing this in theaters on Jan. 23rd for a short time before it hits dvd. I was incredibly excited about this back then but there has to be a reason it sat for so long. I’m not sure how you can mess up a movie based on a great Elmore Leonard book, directed by Oscar nominated John Madden, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Thomas Jane, Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke, and Rosario Dawson. All those things are gold, how do you make a turd? Read on for the trailer.
