Adapted from a novel by Elmore Leanord,
Killshot is the story Tarantino was originally planning on adapting before deciding to do
Rum Punch (which became
Jackie Brown).
The film has been completed for a while but the only thing reported in terms of a release date is that it's supposed to come out sometime this year.

The film was directed by
John Madden (I) and written by
Hossein Amini and co-stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rosario Dawson.
