Ben Kingsley has a new film coming out called “You Kill Me” that looks pretty interesting. Kingsley career has been in a questionable slump recently (aside from the quite enjoyable “Lucky Number Slevin”). The man could do no wrong for over a decade… and then he hits a slide of films that include Thunderbirds, Suspect Zero, A Sound of Thunder and the “how the hell did he agree to this?!?!?!” film BloodRayne.
You Kill Me sounds really good though, and the cast is excellent too. The good folks over at Yahoo News give us this:
Ben Kingsley plays an alcoholic hit man in the dark comedy “You Kill Me,”
Kingsley’s character heads to California to take a break from his bad habits. He lands a job at a mortuary, where he meets and becomes romantically involved with the wild stepdaughter (Tea Leoni) of a corpse he’s embalming. After making a friend (Luke Wilson) at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, he soon finds himself caught up in his old profession. Dennis Farina, Philip Baker Hall, Bill Pullman and Marcus Thomas round out the cast.
Kingsley is so DAMN TALENTED, its been PAINFUL to watch what he’s been doing to himself the last couple of years. I hope a film like You Kill Me marks a return to what he’s capable of… or else he’ll start doing more Uwe Boll films. Ug.
