Earlier in the month, THN brought you the first two posters and trailer from GHOST RIDER and DAREDEVIL director Mark Steven Johnson’s KILLING SEASON. The survival thriller pits Oscar-winner Robert De Niro’s retired military sniper, against John Travolta’s sadistic bow-carrying Serbian soldier in a rough mountainous terrain in a battle of wits and physicality. Only one geriatric is going to return to his pipe and slippers…
Now we have a host of official stills from the film with a plot synopsis going as follows:
American military veteran Benjamin Ford (De Niro) has fled to a cabin retreat somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains to forget the painful memories of the Bosnian War he fought in. One day, visitor Emil Kovac (Travolta), a European tourist, knocks on his door, and the two men begin an unlikely friendship. When it develops that Kovac is in fact a former Serbian soldier bent on revenge, there begins a one-on-one confrontation and battle between the two throughout the harsh mountain environment.
KILLING SEASON opens in the US on the 12th July. No word yet on a UK date. Milo Ventimiglia and Elizabeth Olin co-star
