Loving husband, devoted father & ruthless killer… In other words – here comes another trailer for Ariel Vromen‘s upcoming movie The Iceman, which will tell us the true story of notorious contract killer Richard Kuklinski. Yeah, he’s that scary guy who killed more than 250 people between 1954 & 1985, and as you already know – great Michael Shannon plays him. Make sure you check him out in the rest of this report and let us know what you think!
Ariel Vromen directed the movie from a script he co-wrote with Morgan Land and as we previously reported, the whole thing follows Richard Kuklinski from his early days in the mob until his arrest in 1986.
Michael Shannon stars as the real-life hitman who in 1986 was convicted of murdering 100 men for various crime organizations around the New York area. The compelling twist to Kuklinski’s story was that he was also a devoted husband and father whose family was unaware of his real profession until his arrest.

Appearing to be living the American dream with his beautiful wife, Deborah Pellicotti and their children, in reality he is a killer-for-hire able to keep his “job” hidden from his family. When he is finally arrested by the feds in 1986, neither his wife and daughters nor their neighbors have any clue that he is a murderer. Why did he do it and how did he get away with it for so long?
Beside Shannon, The Iceman also stars Winona Ryder as Deborah Kuklinski, James Franco as Marty, Ray Liotta as Roy DeMeo and Chris Evans as Robert ‘Mr. Softee’ Pronge, & the movie is set to open on May 3rd, 2013.
