Makoto Shinkai’s hugely successful WEATHERING WITH YOU will open the third ‘Animation Is Film’ Festival taking place October 18 to 20 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Closing the festival will be France’s I LOST MY BODY from director Jeremy Clapin.
The Fantasia International Film Festival, celebrating its 23rd Anniversary, today revealed a select first wave of titles. After stunning audiences with his acclaimed 2015 sleeper hit CASH ONLY (a World Premiere breakout at Fantasia), Malik Bader returns to Montreal with the World Premiere of KILLERMAN. A full-throttle knockout crime thriller about dirty cops and dirtier mobsters starring Liam Hemsworth (THE HUNGER GAMES series), Emory Cohen (LORDS OF CHAOS), Diane Guerrero (Orange is the New Black), Nickola Shreli (CASH ONLY), and the great Zlatco Buric (Refn’s PUSHER trilogy), produced by Myles Nestel (WHEELMAN), KILLERMAN is an absorbing, gripping, and exciting look at the underworld, standing as further proof that Bader is one of modern crime cinema’s most ferocious rising talents.
