Open Road, the distribution company hatched earlier this year by theater chains AMC and Regal with Tom Ortenberg at the helm, has set its first release. Open Road set a September 23, 2011 date for Killer Elite, the Gary McKendry-directed action thriller that stars Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro. The fact-based thriller is about an ex-special ops agent (Statham) lured out of retirement to rescue his mentor (De Niro). To do it, he must lay waste to three assassins with a cunning leader (Owen). The film was financed by Omnilab Media and produced through its Australian production arm Ambience Entertainment. Inferno is selling it around the world.


Remake
Is this a re-make of the James Caan movie with the same title?
Cant wait to see it, as it is based on my most favourite book “Feather Men”, written by former SAS member and explorer Ranulph Fiennes, father of Ralph Fiennes..
This film is going to be awesome!!! Action, big talent and a smart script! CAN NOT WAIT!!!
uhh, Gary McKendry, a director with one (1) short film to his credit – respect – and that kind of a cast.
seems like De Niro seriously does like cash.
when one checks out the producer credits, uhh, a lot of them….
somebody put up a lot of MG’s for this pic….
… we wish them well….
DeNiro’s gotta eat.
He is seriously slumming in this stage of his career. He will do anything as long as it is the right amount of cash. It doesn’t matter if his heart is into it.
Are they ever going to release this outside of theaters?
“seems like De Niro seriously does like cash.” gee. How odd.
Yvonne Strahovski too! daaaaayum that gurls got TALENT!
