Two posters have now been released (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarantino.info\/wiki\/index.php\/Killshot_pictures\" target=\"_self\">click here<\/a>), a sign that marketing for the film is slowly gaining speed. I&#8217;m happy about that not only because I felt bad for this movie all along but also because this will be Rourke&#8217;s 2009 double knock-out punch. <strong>Quentin Tarantino<\/strong> had been onboard this project as a producer for some time, but at this point he is no longer associated with the film anymore. The film stars Lane and Jane as a couple witnessing a crime and then being targets for murder themselves, while in a witness protection program. The movie&#8217;s release had been postponed multiple times over the last 3 years. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesonline.ca\/movienews_9829.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to watch<\/a> an early trailer (it still sais &#8220;from executive producer Quentin Tarantino&#8221; there). <em>Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joblo.com\/rourke-poster-bonanza\" target=\"_blank\">Joblo<\/a>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.impawards.com\/2009\/killshot_ver3.html\" target=\"_blank\">Impawards<\/a>.<\/em> You can<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fandango.com\/killshot_91662\/movieoverview\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>head over to Fandango to check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fandango.com\/killshot_91662\/movieoverview\" target=\"_blank\">showtimes for Killshot<\/a> and get tickets for this movie as soon as available. <strong>UPDATE<\/strong>: Quentin Tarantino is no longer associated with the movie.
