The Kill Room, a dark comedy crime thriller from director Nicol Paone, is set to reach theatres on September 29th, courtesy of Shout! Studios – and with that date less than two months away, a trailer for the film has arrived online! You can check it out in the embed above.

Scripted by Jonathan Jacobson, The Kill Room has the following synopsis: Patrice Capullo has a big problem: her art gallery isn’t making money. Gordon has an even bigger problem, while arranging hits for the mob is lucrative, he & his ”colleague” Reggie need a better way to launder their money. A chance introduction from Patrice’s drug dealer has the art world meet the underworld, and a plan is hatched. The one hitch: Patrice needs something to sell. With that, Reggie taps into his inner artist and makes a painting which immediately “sells” for an incredibly high price. When the noteworthy price for this new mystery artist accidentally leaks, the art career of “The Bagman” is born, attracting attention and press, something his superiors in the underworld are very unhappy with.

Uma Thurman (Kill Bill) stars as Patrice, with Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) as Gordon and Joe Manganiello (True Blood) as Reggie.
